    By: Brandon McAllister
    • 10. Changes by 2Pac
      A social commentary on the status of the two races in America by Tupac Shakur, and one that echoes rhythmically and melodiously, but chillingly, to this very day.
    • 9. Higher by Creed
      Another late 90's group, Creed's harmonious hard rock became a favorite, especially in 1999. Higher was their megahit single, still played today.
    • 8. I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith
      When Armaggeddon came out, this was all you'd hear on the radio. This, and the Goo Goo Dolls song, "Iris," from the movie City of Angels. This song handed Aerosmith and Steven Tyler's vocals down to a new generation.
    • 7. Nookie by Limp Bizkit
      Inspired a generation of rapcore and nu-metal artists during the early part of the first decade of the 21st century - Linkin Park, Trust Company...their styles were offshoots of the Limp Bizkit sound.
    • 6. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      Incredible epic Pearl Jam tune...it's Eddie Vedder at his best throughout.
    • 5. The Real Slim Shady by Eminem
      Launched Eminem's career to unprecented heights and became a catch phrase among teens and preteens toward the end of the 90's.
    • 4. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Still incredibly popular, and a mainstay favorite of rock crowds everywhere.
    • 3. Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
      Incredible song. Words fail.
    • 2. Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews Band
      The defining DMB song that launched their album "Under the Table and Dreaming" into the public consciousness.
    • 1. Champagne Supernova by Oasis
      You couldn't listen to the radio for an hour without hearing this one...amazing tune.

    With apologies to the Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, Joan Osborne (Remember the buzz when her single "One of Us" was released?), and several others, this is the final list. Boy bands (Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, etc.) were not included because they were hardly influential or memorable, just a passing phase. Hope you enjoy it.
