Best Rock Songs of the 90s

Hey guys, I wanna make a CD but I can't really remember too much music from the 90s... all I really remember are like STP and The Smashing Pumpkins... Just wanted to know what y'all thought were the best songs of the 90s.

"Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots, one kick ass song.

It's on the San Andreas soundtrack too.

-Nirvana
-Pearl Jam
-The Cranberries
-Bush
-Our Lady Peace
-Radiohead
-I Mother Earth
-Foo Fighters
-Red Hot Chilli Peppers

just a few bands that defined the '90s rock scene, besides the 2 you already mentioned.

I guess my favorite rock songs from the 90's was from Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Verve Pipe.

I liked Machinehead by Bush.

Glycerine - Bush

Just an outstanding, amazing song.

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day
Closer - Nine Inch Nails
Thunderstruck - AC/DC

2x4 by Metallica

Such a sweet ass rock riff.

Thunderstruck - AC/DC

Hell yes!

I remember when that came out, mid-late '97 I think. Man, my mate got the single, and we listening to it so much. I had an end-of-primary school party, and that song got played on the big stereo about 60 times, man, good times.

sublime has lots of great songs

ohh comeone its definately Guster "barrel of the gun"!!!!!!!!

Cannot forget Alice In Chains! Specifically Man in the Box. Probably one of their most well known songs besides Rooster.

Soundgarden-Blackhole Sun
Days of the New-Shelf In The Room and Touch, Peel, and Stand
Deftones-Changes
Eve 6- Inside Out
Green Day- Dookie Album
Nirvana
Silverchair-Tomorrow
Sublime
Better Than Ezra-Good and Desperately Wanting
Blind Melon-No Rain
Butthole Surfers-Pepper(definate classic!)
Candle Box-Far Behind
Dishwala-Counting Blue Cars
Gravity Kills-Guilty
Seven Mary Three-Cumbersome

Those should get all of your minds refreshed and thinking

just browsing through my cd collection i'd reccommend:
Tool
Metallica
Alice in Chains
Sublime
Nirvana
Red hot chilli peppers
Pantera
i''d even say marilyn mansons first album had a few good songs.

Better Than Ezra-Good and Desperately Wanting

I've got more if you want ;)

Oh, and Tragic Kingdom era No Doubt kicks serious ass, but I'm hesitant to call it rock, so I discluded it.

let's not forget Garbage. i can't even remember the names of most of their songs, but they were pretty big in the mid-to-late '90s too.

also Pearl Jam - Jeremy. it's one of the only songs i like by them.

and i hate to say it (because i HATE U2 with a passion), but U2's Joshua Tree was a pretty big album as well. also, later Depeche Mode? that's borderline rock...but still, pretty big. and let's not forget Blur's Song 2, one of the classics of my generation.

Yes, Garbage rules. Push It, Queer, Only Happy When It Rains, Stupid Girl, etc - all great :D

Jeremy is borderline good. Even Flow is the only Pearl Jam song I claim to like. It's not just good for Pearl Jam, it's just plain kickass :thumbsup:

Finally, I'll agree with you again - I fucking hate U2.



but I won't deny their significance.

The best rock song of the 90s...
