What are your top ten favorite songs from the 90s?


    By: Joser
    • 10. Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton
      Soothing song with really nice lyrics. I have alot of respect for Eric Clapton and his music.
    • 9. Losing My Religion by R.E.M.
      Losing My Religion and Everybody Hurts are my favorite R.E.M. songs, but I decided to put Losing My Religion for no special reason.
    • 8. Enter Sandman by Metallica
      Really cool song by an excellent band.
    • 7. Creep by Radiohead
      Really cool song by an excellent band.
    • 6. Under the Bridge by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
      One of the slowest songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but definitely my favorite.
    • 5. Janie's Got A Gun by Aerosmith
      I'm not really sure about the date on this song. It is a really cool song with very serious lyrics and Aerosmith is an awesome band.
    • 4. November Rain by Guns N' Roses
      Another one of my favorite bands. This song is has my favorite guitar solo ever. I hated to see Slash and Axl Rose separate because they made an amazing band together.
    • 3. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      Again, I was undecided between Jeremy, Blck, and Alive, so I put Jeremy because it has a strong meaning with a great video. Pearl Jam and Nirvana are my two favorite bands and grunge rules!!!
    • 2. Basket Case by Green Day
      I was undecided between Basket Case, Longview, and Good Riddance, so I put Basket Case because I love the video and Dookie rules!!! Green Day has many other awesome songs and they are one of my favorite bands.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Nothing I can say will explain why I like this song so much. It saved every single one of us. Kurt Cobain was the best. Rest In Peace Kurt.

    To increase the variety of bands on my list, I didn't put more than one song from the same band. I still missed some great songs like "Wonderwall" by Oasis, "Tonight Tonight" by the Smashing Pumpkins, and Blind Melon's "No Rain". If you have any questions or comments please write to piola1375@aol.com. I would really like to hear from you.

    • 10. I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys
      Well I personally don't like the "boy bands" too much, but they were a great force in the 90's. So therefore, I'm including this song.
    • 9. Bullet With Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins
      Such a great band, and such an awesome song.
    • 8. When I Come Around by Greenday
      Greenday was a big hit in the 90's...remember the craze over their Dookie album? This song belongs on the top 10.
    • 7. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      Chili Peppers breakthru hit came in this era.
    • 6. Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots
      STP another great band of the 90s.
    • 5. Building a Mystery by Sarah McLachlan
      Surfacing is her best album release of the 90's, and the first single off the CD is just great.
    • 4. Changes by Tupac
      Gangsta Rap is a child of the 90's, and Tupac's last hit before his tragic death is the perfect song to mark this historical period in music.
    • 3. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot
      Early 90's rap was great for what it was, and this is the song that stands out for me.
    • 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      Great song, great band.
    • 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Definitive song of the grunge band era. Can't be beat.
