By: Cathy Scully
• 10. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
  THE best band of the nineties and one that I hope is around for many years to come!!!
• 9. No Distance Left To Run by Blur
  I wanted to put a Blur song on here that wasn't the usual 'Britpop'...it was between this one and Tender, two very beautiful songs that are the opposite of each other.
• 8. Big Time Sensuality by Bjork
  
• 7. Never Enough by The Cure
  
• 6. Champagne Supernova by Oasis
  
• 5. Today by Smashing Pumpkins
  
• 4. Leave Them All Behind by Ride
  One of the best songs from the 'shoegazer' era.
• 3. Fait Accompli by Curve
  Again, one of the most overlooked bands of the 90s that always had a spot in my CD collection.
• 2. Commercial Rain by Inspiral Carpets
  This is the 'signature' song of one of the most overlooked and underrated Manchester bands, the Inspiral Carpets.
• 1. Digging For Fire by Pixies
  

I just know I've forgotten good songs but these are my favorites. I hope you love them as much as I do!

• 10. If I Am by Nine Days
  Australian band with some real good music. Quite emotional song, but again, another song to just chill out with.
• 9. Wonderwall / Champagne Supernova by Oasis
  Brit music at its best. Brilliant songs, pity the band members were mainly a bunch of wankers.
• 8. Otherside / Soul to Squeeze by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
  Both top songs in their own right. Otherside, you can really get into and Soul to Squeeze is another top chill out song.
• 7. Desperately Wanting by Better than Ezra
  Classic song, reminds you of your times 'back in the day'
• 6. Fall at your Feet by Crowded House
  Another top NZ band. Nice tune, Neil Finn (now solo) has an incredible voice and sings some hell relaxing tunes.
• 5. Home Again by Shihad
  Brilliant New Zealand band. Whenever they come back from touring they play this song and they are one of the best live acts in this part of the world.
• 4. With or Without You by U2
  Really relaxing song about someone you really care about
• 3. Mr Jones by Counting Crows
  Real good song to sit down and sing to
• 2. Do the Evolution by Pearl Jam
  Great song to go nuts to. Pretty much any PJ song could be here and there are heaps that are better than Jeremy.
• 1. Say it ain't so by Weezer
  Just plain Classic

I can't stress enough how much I love Pearl Jam. Anyone starting to get into them should listen to Elderly woman..., Alive, Release, Wishlist, Corduroy, Betterman, Off he goes. Actually, just go to a concert, its better.

• 10. One by Metallica
  A song about the tragedy and horror of war
• 9. Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley
  I see it as Jeff's last goodbye to the world
• 8. Passenger by Deftones/Maynard James Keenan
  A song I can relate to in terms of peer pressure and teen spirit

  The bands interpretation of LA or any other city in general

  A song about the future and armageddon.
• 5. 3 Libras by A Perfect Circle
  A song about a love not meant to be
• 4. We're in this together by Nine Inch Nails
  A twisted lovesong but nevertheless a must for every music fan
• 3. Lateralus by Tool
  A song of 9 minutes all pure brilliance. Lyrics I interpreted are written to inspire. Sums up the human spirit in 9 minutes.
• 2. Flames by Vast
  A love song in the truest sense, brilliant cello.
• 1. Touched by Vast
  Brilliant, from the lyrics to the sampling to the music, simply a masterpiece.

  A more dancable song that shows Whitney's fun side. The girl can blow. She can sing any genre of music!

  Whitney is the diva of the 90's. This song shows that she is indeed the best vocalist ever

  Dude, this song has a bitter side, a sad side and a HILARIOUS side too!! Though Rivers was not so pleased with it I love it damnit!!!

I'm 13 so I guess, yeah I am kinda cheating because I havn't really LIVED the ninties as much as most, however there was no TOP 10 2001 LIST so I guess I'll go with this!!! I realise that many of these songs are VERY recent but hey I tried to mix them up. I also would of made EVERY song Weezer but I suppose that would be a bit much. Peace, Love, Happiness, Rock on.
