    • 10. Stinkfist by Tool
      Bloody good video clip. Raw song. Like it alot.
    • 9. Give Into Me by Michael Jackson
      A riff that continues to stand out.
    • 8. Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
      A debut like this can't be ignored. (Her only decent song though).
    • 7. Bullet With Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins
      This song was a fluke. The band sux anus. But I Like It!
    • 6. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
      Had to put this one in. Their one hit wonder almost.
    • 5. Wash Away Those Years by Creed
      Most of the song is average, except for the change that happens around the 4 minute mark. THIS PART MADE THIS SONG FOR ME. "For We Have Crossed Many Oceans, And We Labor In Between" Such powerful words behind a fantastic voice and guitar riff!!!
    • 4. Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) by The Offspring
      Fluke I think. Overkilled but I have to give credit to this song.
    • 3. Bullet In The Head by Rage Against The Machine
      The song I think has the most rage captured more than any other song around. That ending bass riff and guitar sound SO Fucking Good!!!
    • 2. Self Esteem by The Offspring
      A song that captured the essence of the lyrics. Or visa versa. Brilliant.
    • 1. Know Your Enemy by Rage Against The Machine
      I haven't been able to find a song so tight-fit ever since. I don't know how but the whole songs sticks together so well, and laid foundations for many songs since. ALSO #1 *RIFF* OF THE NINETIES!!!!

    Hard to pick a Top 10 but KNOW YOUR ENEMY deserves its place. Just get a copy of that album and listen to that damn fine song.

    • 8. Run Away train by Soul asylum

      Beautiful song, perfectly crafted.

      Pop-Guru...enough said.

      Dizzying eclecticism.

      Haunting.
    • 3. The Ghost at Number One by Jellyfish
      I love this band. They were the '90's best kept secret.
    • 2. Lover You Should've Come Over by Jeff Buckley
      If there is any song in this world to send shivers through your soul, this is it. His music and legacy live on.
    • 1. All Apologies by Nirvana
      You can hear the pain in his voice. An eerie willingness on his part to give in. He was telling all of us that he had enough.

    Holy hard choice Batman!! I had to leave out so many others. The Posies would have been my 11th choice. Like Nigel Tufnel...his amp goes to 11. Therefore my 11th pick is included!! Cheers All
