    By: James
    • 10. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
      Sure, it was over-played, but for good reason... It was the greatest love song next to November Rain that came out of the 90's.
    • 9. Tomorrow by Silverchair
      Everybody overlooks the old-school Silverchair stuff... This song is amazing, and the interlude adds lots of suspense to the song.. the song flows nicely.. these guys were only like 17 too...they deserve lots of credit.
    • 8. Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind
      The song is really catchy, and the lyrics are honest... gotta respect that
    • 7. Superman's Dead by Our Lady Peace
      Raine Maida can do stuff to his voice that I never imagined possible... add that to a catchy guitar riff, and you can't go wrong.
    • 6. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
      The song that made me convert from the old funkier-era of the Chili Peppers to the rockier-era... The song flows amazingly, and the guitar is among the best they've ever come up with.
    • 5. Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana
      I seriously think that Smells Like Teen Spirit is the most overrated song of all time... It often overshadows the magic of heart-shaped box... This is lyrically Kurt's best work, and their best music video as well.
    • 4. Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins
      One of the Smashing Pumpkins softest songs, but with good lyrics, and so much happening all at once, this 3 minute song seems to last a life-time.
    • 3. No Rain by Blind Melon
      One of the songs that I won't forget from the 90's, this song was one of the few amazing songs of the 90's played on acoustic, and nobody will ever forget the "Bee Girl"... RIP Shannon Hoone
    • 2. Jeremy by Pearl Jam
      Not only is this song the most intense and well-flowing thing that Pearl Jam ever did, but the video is amazing as well.
    • 1. November Rain by Guns N Roses
      A 9 minute song that continually raises in suspense... Nobody since Pink Floyd has been able to do such a thing... Not only that, but the amazing guitar solos and touching lyrics make this song the most memorable of the 90s.

    Can't take my eyes of you(Lauryn Hill), Freak on The Leash (KORN)
    By: Harry Ballsonya

      Ain't a guy who's been to a night club, who hasn't scored to this song. Makes girls go crazy.

    • 5. Promise of a new Day by Paulla Abdual
      Man, this video caused me to go through so many handy-wipes.
    • 4. One by Metallica
      And I thought I was the legless, armless, wonder of the world.
    • 3. Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
      The slow motion running in the video, convinced me to be an action hero.
    • 2. Far Behind by CandleBox
      Hey, any band with box in it gives me the munchies.
    • 1. Hero of the Day by Metallica
      Was the greatest song ever, then the S&M version made it even better. The song makes me wet.


    By: Eddie
    • 10. What I got by Sublime
      Another great song by Sublime. If there were more spots, Sublime would go down to #50 but theres only 10 so I'm dedicated 20% of my spots to them. Damn...too bad the lead vocalist had to kill himself. That really sucks considering how much talent he had in him....and at the time he had a little boy.
    • 9. Wrong Way by Sublime
      Great band...very great band. Thats why I'm dedicated #9 and #10 to them. Every song they ever put on any CD was completely awesome. They might not have been all hits but they were all great. Especially wrong way. Explains the life of a slut (sounds dumb but its great...really).
    • 8. What It's Like by Everlast
      Very awesome song. True thoughts about the ghetto and growing up and living there. Sad song about life there. Even though Everlast is a wigger, he still makes good music. If you like this song you might wanna check out "Black Jesus," and "Ends." His two other biggest hits.
    • 7. Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
      Great song. Featured in that movie where Sara Michelle Gellar played a Coke addicted bitch. You probably know that name. Shitty movie, awesome song. Anyways, if youve heard this, you either hated it or loved it. I loved it. Never thought I'd ever like a song with violins in it but here it is.
    • 6. Outside by Stained featuring Fred Durst
      Awesome song by Stained but I have no idea why the hell Fred Durst is there. All he does is say that he feels the lighters and talks about mother fuckers. Pretty dumb of Mr. Durst there. But Stained does an unbelievable job putting emotion into this song. At this time it hasnt been released on CD yet but the live version is great. This is one of those bands that play good outside the recording studio as well as inside.
    • 5. Shimmer by Fuel
      Great song, great tune, great band. The only bad thing about this band is they seem to have a couple hits on each CD but the other songs are more 'fillers.' I think they should put more effort into the rest of their songs but this song,"Shimmer" is definately a classic to be.
    • 4. Better Man by Pearl Jam
      It never seems to make those top 10 lists but it should. Its completely awesome. Listen to it and you'll know what I mean.
    • 3. No Rain by Blind
      Very original, one of a kid song. One of those songs that will probably never grow old. You can listen to it over and over again and it's still great.
    • 2. Cry Freedom by Dave Matthews Band
      Great song by probably the best band, in my opinion, ever.
    • 1. Freshmen by The Verve Pipe
      Best song ever. Also, you gotta look at some by Dave Mattews Band....definately the best band of the 90's and the 00's. Crush, Satellite, Cry Freedom, Crash into Me....how the hell did you overlook those dude? Anyways, Freshmen was a very very good song by the Verve Pipe. Definately my fave.

    Dave Matthews Band and Sublime are the best groups ever!!! Notice Nirvana doesn't appear on my list. Kurt Kobain put a lot of emotions into their songs and they sounded pretty good on CD but if you heard them live, youll know why they werent on my list. They completely blew live. Just needed to say that.

    • 10. Rebecca by Pat McGee Band
      this is a very unknown band but a great song.
    • 9. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
      great tune
    • 8. Counting Crows by Mr. Jones
      you cant ignore a song about a pornstar
    • 7. Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen
      theres nobody better than the boss
    • 6. Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish
      c'mon, they were cool in the mid-90's
    • 5. I'm Not Running Anymore by John Mellencamp
      this is just one of many great tunes by this man
    • 4. When I Come Around by Green Day
      great song
    • 3. Runaway Train by Soul Asylum
      A huge hit in the early 90's, which many people forget about
    • 2. I'm In A Hurry by Alabama
      An upbeat country song that not that many people know about
    • 1. Summer of 69' by Bryan Adams
      everyone knows the words to this song
