Obviously without the resources of a major magazine, we as individuals are going to miss some songs that certain esteemed publications would never leave out. rolleyes: ) Maybe we can help each other out. My top 10: 1.) No Rain (Blind Melon) 2.) Wind Up (Foo Fighters) 3.) Doin' Time (Sublime) 4.) Say It Ain't So (Weezer) 5.) Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve) 6.) Even Flow (Pearl Jam) 7.) Stay (Lisa Loeb) - **** you guys, I love this song. 8.) In The Meatime (Spacehog) 9.) When I Come Around (Green Day) 10.) Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) - I don't even like this song all that much, but really it's got to be on here, right?
I am going to pick and do the #1 and #2 best songs for my top 5 (IMO of course before the purists reign down hellfire on my arse.) 1.) Sublime - Santeria / Caress Me Down 2.)

Blink 182 - Damnit, (Yes they were a ****ty gimic band for the most part, but most will admit that this was a great song)
1. Green Day - When I Come Around 2. Foo Fighters - Everlong 3. Fuel - Shimmer 4. Everclear - Santa Montica 5. matchbox twenty - Push <yeah, shut up. I'd have it as #1 if I didn't know better> 6. Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy 7. Live - Operation Spirit 8. Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way? 9. Sloan - Money City Maniacs 10. Closing Time - Semisonic
Ok..

Don't mean to derail your thread, but these are the GARM's top 10 rocks songs of the 90's: 10) Aerosmith - Cryin' 9) Goo Goo Dolls - Long Way Down 8) Counting Crows - Daylight Fading 7) Sugar Ray - Falls Apart 6) Live - Lightning Crashes 5) Ben Folds Five - Brick 4) Radiohead - Let Down 3) Smashing Pumpkins - The End is the Beginning is the End 2) Soul Asylum - Misery 1) Toad The Wet Sprocket - Something's Always Wrong
The GARM is a place mentioned often in legend. A land where trades are proposed, rosters are discussed, games are broken down. A place, some suggest, that provides keen and insightful basketball analysis by people of all cultures. Some people believe it actually exists. Personally I think it's all a load of hooey.
That is a nice theory, but I think the logical question would be why discuss this "basketball" you refer to on a message board such as this.
Best of the 90's, no particular order: Creep (Radiohead) Buddy Holly (Weezer) Everybody Hurts (REM) One (U2) Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) When I Come Around (Green Day) Jeremy (Pearl Jam) Killing In The Name Of (Rage Against the Machine) Under the Bridge (Red Hot Chili Peppers) Self Esteem (The Offspring) This is hard, I'm not even sure this is the best list I could come up with.
This is a Low, Blur Something 4 the Weekend, Super Furry Animals :ithium, Nirvana Black Steel, Tricky Bittersweet Symphony, The Verve Down by the Water, PJ Harvey Even Better than the Real Thing, U2 Cannonball, The Breeders Cherub Rock, Smashing Pumpkins Range Life, Pavement
actually, around 1997, my freshman year of high school, there are a whole bunch of songs that i wouldn't normally like as much as i do but they all have a certain sound to them and nostalgia to them that makes me love them. and i managed to burn 3 CD's worth of them. so from those since i can't think of the whole decade: Real World - Matchbox 20 As I Lay Me Down - Sophie B. Hawkins Torn - Natalie Imbruglia I Need You - Savage Garden Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve (i don't even remember the commercial but i know i first heard this in a Nike commercial, they always have great commercials) Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind Do You Miss Me - Jocelyn Enriquez Mr. Jones - Counting Crows Too Close - Next Show Me Love - Robyn an eclectic bunch
Not sure how "Rock" is defined...do ballads count...? Well, here are some that came to my mind (in no particular order): When I Come Around - Green Day Losing My Religion - R.E.M. Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers Weezer - Buddy Holly Mr. Jones - Counting Crows Little Miss Can't Be Wrong - Spin Doctors Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz November Rain - Guns N' Roses I'm Easy - Faith No More I Don't Want To Miss A Thing - Aerosmith
Smells Like Teen Spirit seems like the epitome of a rock song, to me. It's not my favorite...but I have an appreciation for it like that.
Today - Smashing Pumpkins Smells like teen spirit - Nirvana Freshmen - The verve pipe Under the bridge - chili peppers Plush - Stone temple pilots Comedown - Bush Runaway Train - Soul Asylum Would - Alice in chains Sex and candy - Marcy Playground Popular - Nada Surf
