Best Songs Of The 90's

[Guest DRAWMUH!]

I'm trying to make a 50 song, 3 CD set of the best songs of the 90's. I'm limiting myself to 2 songs per band and its pretty much any kind of music besides rap, hip hop, and country. I'm going for a mix between success and personal liking usually. For example, for the Nirvana songs, my favourite is Lithium but Teen Spirit and Heat Shaped Box made it. Anyways these are the ones I have so far for suggestions.

 

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

Green Day - Basket Case

Green Day - Good Riddance

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

Soundgarden - Blow Up The Outside World

Pearl Jam - Jeremy

Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution

Stone Temple Pilots - Sex Type Thing

Stone Temple Pilots - Days Of The Week

Radiohead - Creep

Radiohead - Karma Police

NOFX - Bob

NOFX - Linoleum

Weezer - The Good Life

Weezer - Hash Pipe

Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings

Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight Tonight

Nine Inch Nails - Closer

Nine Inch Nails - Perfect Drug

No Doubt - Spiderwebs

No Doubt - Just A Girl

Oasis - Wonderwall

Oasis - Half The World Away

Metallica - Enter Sandman

Alice In Chains - Man In The Box

Alice In Chains - Them Bones

Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name Of

Rage Of The Machine - Know Your Enemy

Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta

Blur - Song 2

Foo Fighters - My Hero

Wallflowers - One Headlight

The Offspring - Self Esteem

Pennywise - Bro Hymn Tribute

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge

White Zombie - More Human Than Human

Rob Zombie - Dragula

Bush - Swallowed

Our Lady Peace - Clumsy

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

Third Eye Blind - Jumper

 

Ands thats all I got for ideas for right now. Anyone got any other suggestions? Different songs for the bands? Different bands? Criticism for actually including No Doubt? Not including November Rain by GnR? All apreciated!

Weezer's "Hash Pipe" wasn't from the 1990s. Replace it with "El Scorcho." Any song that mentions New Jack in it is worthy.

[Nighthawk 0]

Hip hop isn't a musical genre, just fyi.

 

I really don't think Dragula is that good of a song, I'd swap it for a different Rob Zombie song. Living Dead Girl probably.

Add some Beck. I'd go with Loser, but he had plenty of songs to choose from.

B. Brian's Best Songs of the 90s:

 

"Soul to Squeeze"- Red Hot Chili Peppers

"Ants Marching"- Dave Matthews Band

"Tripping Billies"- Dave Matthews Band

"Drive"- REM

"I'm not an Addict"- K's Choice

"Fade Into You"- Mazzy Star

"What's the Story, Morning Glory?"- Oasis

"Welcome to Paradise"- Green Day

"Smash it Up"- Offspring

"Sliver"- Nirvana

"Crazy Mary"- Pearl Jam

"Alone"- Pearl Jam

"Angry Chair"- Alice In Chains

"Bullet in the Head"- Rage Against The Machine

"Revolver"- Rage Against The Machine

"Blind"- Korn

"Faget"- Korn

"Big Empty"- Stone Temple Pilots

"Kitchenware and Candy Bars"- Stone Temple Pilots

"Grace"- Jeff Buckley

"Last Goodbye"- Jeff Buckley

"Witches Rave"- Jeff Buckley

"Yard of Blonde Girls"- Jeff Buckley

"Smaller and Smaller"- Faith No More

"Be Aggressive"- Faith No More

"Bound for the Floor"- Local H

"All the Kids are Right"- Local H

"Whimsical"- Days of the New

"Touch, Peel and Stand"- Days of the New

"Thunderkiss '65"- White Zombie

"The Outlaw Torn"- Metallica

"Angry Again"- Megadeth

"Hangar 18"- Megadeth

"Christeen"- Devin Townsend

"One"- U2

"Jesus Christ Pose"- Soundgarden

"Limo Wreck"- Soundgarden

 

 

Those are just some of my personal favourites. I know you said just 2 songs per artist, but the buckley stuff is all good that you can just take your pick.

 

I also think that it's kind of close-minded to not include any Rap/Hip-Hop, as there was alot of good material released in the 1990s, especially Tupac's work, Jay-Z's work, 3 albums by The Roots, etc.

I'm a huge mark for 90's music. Here's a few of my favs off the top of my head:

 

Faith No More "Epic"

White Zombie "ThunderKiss 65"

The Verve - "Bitter Sweet Symphony"

Oasis "Wonderwall"

Sublime "What I Got"

Blind Melon "No Rain"

Live "Lightning Crashes"

Beck "Loser"

REM - "Losing My Religion"

Blink182 - "Dammit"

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

Oh yeah. "Days of the Week" was released in 2001 off the Shangri La-Dee-Da album.

 

While we're mentioning Beck, consider these:

 

"Loser"(obviously)

"The New Pollution"

"Beer Can"

"Where It's At"

"Sexlaws"

[Guest DRAWMUH!]

I can't believe I forgot Loser! And I know its partial to not including any rap and such, except I'm trying to keep this to just rock.

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Philadelphia

REM - Everybody Hurts

REM - Shiny Happy People

Prince - Diamonds And Pearls

Prince - 7

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

That will do for now.
