That stirred up controversy

They represented and entire generation. They're one of the best bands that ever existed.
By: Eva giraud
- 10. back for good by take that
had to include them...sorry.
- 9. manic street preachers by walking abortion
thought provoking but tuneful
- 8. monkey gone to heaven by pixies
dont know when this was released...but its so powerful i had to include it!
- 7. doll parts by hole
this always seems so fragile, but beautiful...like moth wings!
- 6. regret by new order
brilliant! synths and bass are back!! classic
- 5. coma white by marilyn manson
washes you away
- 4. everlong by foo fighters
ok...its predictable, but its also wicked!
- 3. beautiful ones by suede
got me into indie...first song i was ever obsessed with
- 2. she bangs the drums by stone roses
'the past was yours but the future's mine/you're all out of time' helped me through my GCSEs!! also makes me feel like flying
- 1. heart shaped box by nirvana
beautiful...my boyfriend used to play it to me.
not necessarily my favourite ever songs...or in the correct order...but i love them all!
By: Carlos O.
- 10. Disarm by SMASHING PUMPKINS
I think a great start for my list.
- 9. Swallowed by BUSH
I really like Bush and in this song they just outdo themselves. This song can be replaced w/ Glicerine or Come Down, whichever you like better.
- 8. Something about the way you look tonight by ELTON JOHN
This song actually made me cry a couple of times after breakups. But I'm glad there are songs like this one for people w/ lovers.
- 7. Again by JANET JACKSON
Not my favorite artist, but this song just gives me goosebumps when I hear it, beautiful melody and nice lyrics.
- 6. Leave it alone by MARY'S DANISH
They are no more. Julie's Blanket is actually a better song, but they released it in the 80's, so consolation on #6.
- 5. Moving by THE LONDON SUEDE
They were known only as Suede when this song came out, not many people have heard it. Great lead singer.
- 4. Song 2 by BLUR
This song makes me get in my car and go as fast as I can go, although the lyrics make no sense.
- 3. Smells Like Teen Spirit by NIRVANA
Have to give them credit for creating an anthem.
- 2. Crush # 1 by GARBAGE
From the Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack. The emotions expressed in this song are unrivaled.
- 1. Street Spirit by RADIOHEAD
The best song from the most epic band nowadays.
I'm sure I forgot some of my favorites while writing this list. What it was a great decade of great music, 10 songs will do no justice. Hate to leave RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, BEASTY BOYS, MATCHBOX 20, PRETENDERS, MADONNA, INXS, 311, PENNYWISE, and so many others out. Sorry kids!
By: D.G. Oar
- 10. Crutch by matchbox20
I just like the way it sounds.
- 9. Wonderful by everclear
Again, I just had to include it...probably one of the worst songs they did lyrically, but everyone just gobbled it up.
- 8. All f*cked up by everclear
One of the 'harder' songs they've released, doesn't really have much meaning that can't be derived from the title.
- 7. Summerland by everclear
Looks at a relationship in deep historical perspective...a really neat song.
- 6. Loser Makes Good by everclear
Denounces the college life, and the lives of all the 'higher-ups', saying they shouldn't pity the 'lower-class'.
- 5. Father of Mine by everclear
Not even close to their best work, but, it was a hit with a big crowd.
- 4. Babytalk by everclear
A lot of clever allusions to the 1924 presidential election and its impact on farmers...kind of hidden, but that's what makes it so interesting!
- 3. Queen of the Air by everclear
Probably their best written song, but the instrumentals are weak on this one.
- 2. White Men in Black Suits by everclear
A touching song about the highs and lows of teenage love.
- 1. Amphetamine by everclear
A really socially conscious song about the demands of living in a utopian society.
everclear, who dominated the 90's, also dominate my chart.
By: Matt

- 10. Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
Off their album In Utero this song came right before Kurt Cobains death which made it more significant to love and made a classic
- 9. When Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks
I can explain why he made it on my list, he is the third biggest selling musician of all timewhich makes him a part of my list because this song captured the older crowd who are into country and needed somethign to listen to that was not rap or rock.
- 8. Hypnotize by Notorious B.I.G.
The 2 big boys of hip hop who basically killed each other in a gang war was Biggie Smalls and 2Pac. Biggie even though not as good as 2Pac made a classic that would be played and never gettin tired of even years after it was first made
