100 Greatest Rock Songs of the 90s

This lists will surprise you as the terminology “rock” is usually associated with songs with heavy use of instruments such as guitars and drums, yet this list contains quite a number of rap, r&b sub-genre ‘New Jack Swing’ and adult contemporary/adult top 40 songs. The list contains many great artistes and though I don’t fully agree with all the songs named, it does pretty much cover all artistes that should/could fall under this category as well as other genres(eg. Sheryl Crow appears but only “All I Wanna Do” is listed and “Every Day Is A Winding Road” is surprisingly/sadly absent) and this is an occurence that happens for many artistes on this list [only one or two of their many hits are included - eg. Santana, Snoop Dogg, U2, Alanis Morissette]. Noticably too, are songs by artistes such as Jewel (SHE, SHERYL CROW and ALANIS MORISSETTE WERE THE QUEENS OF CONTEMPORARY ROCK/POP-ROCK IN THE 90s) and songs themselves such as “Take My Picture” by Filter are not on the list, which to me is a HUGE surprise. However this is a VERY good list of music (eg. The Cranberries’ “Linger”, Santana’s “Smooth”, Ice Cube’s “It Was A Good Day”, Dr. Dre’s “Ain’t Nothing But A G Thang”, Method Man’s “All I Need” – to name a few) and will tap you into most of the greatest artists of the 90s.
