[ackattack21]

[RedceLL1978]

5) Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin on a hole in a paper heart

4) Aice In Chains - Them Bones

3) Pearl Jam - Even Flow

2) Soundgarden - Pretty Noose

1) Any Nirvana song,take your pick.

[ou8mybigmac]

[willyboyable]

[TheDimitraaaa]

[piggys31]

I love this,thank you a million, trillion, billion thank you's

[mhall336]

Thanks for making this , it was amazing , finally a list that doesn't doesn't suck, and thanks for all your hard work , must have take forever, major kudos !!!!!

[YouthsHighSociety]

I enjoyed the hell out of this, thanks for bringing back memories.

[jtstrang]

I disagree with this list, these are not all ALT bands, but I respect your right to be wrong

[BeAuTiFuLFeEt]

agree to disagree that losing my religion is the number one alt song of the 90's but then, it's not the worst so we'll let it slide.

[ThisDamnHomelessGuy]

im sorry bush comedown needs to be in the top 12...

[ermieTanyojr]

much respect but rage against the machine is not an alternative band....



[johnpagecontraband]

black reminds me of ma 1st trip 2 a strip club haha that n waterfalls by tlc

[greasy2007]

black is one of my favorite songs ever!... regardless of the order i love ur complete list!

[KLBRECH1]

i tak that back ur last 20 are terrible

[KLBRECH1]

Good opinion!



[Deamzor7]

excellent list.great job mate

[DrunkyMcDrunkerdson]

Actually @gearsssofwarrr, you are way too far into Nirvana! Get your head out of their ass! IF YOU KNEW OF ALTERNATIVE MUSIC THEN YOU WOULD KNOW OF THE PIXIES! WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 80'S! WHERE IS MY MIND WASN'T MADE BECAUSE OF FIGHT CLUB! IT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 80'S. SO YEA BUDDY. GRUNGE DIED SHORTLY AFTER KURT COBAIN. SAD STUFF BUT NIRVANA DIDN'T SPAWN MUCH IN MUSIC THAT WASN'T ALREADY THERE. SURE GRUNGE, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT!

[renatopuente]

ENJOY THE SILENCE IS THE #1 >:|

[toucansofwhoopass]

While I personally don't like Smells like teen spirit, I understand its place in Alternative/Grunge musics role. This was an amazing list, way more time and energy than I EVER could of mustered up. And this list was HIS favorites, not yours! Only thing I personally disagree with was Hunger Strike (similar to smells like teen spirit, it has its role in the evolution) While Im not a Nirvana fan, i am a music fan and can appreciate their part in creating a genre. Thank you very much for your effort

[LtDrg35]

if smells like teen spirit wasnt number1 idk what else would be

[nicolelvsjr]

awesome!!!!!!!!

[moondathoots]

This is NOTHING!.. everywhere you can heard this,even TARZAN and MOWGLI in the jungle singing this kind of song,.ha!ha! only you know this? so sad! how about de 90's FORGOTTEN bands? Check my page dude!...

[veeohlehtah]

everyone needs to remember that this is THEIR opinion of the top 160 alternative songs of the 90's. nothing is set in stone so just relax

[about1983]

thanks for bringing back nice memories. good job

[KangaWk]

Nice list. I would have Put most of then in a different order, but very nice regardless.

[TheMonkiji]

well um, you like rhcp the most i think^^

[Rayk95]

FUCK THE # 1 SONG IT SUCKS ASSSSSSSHOOOOLLLLLLLEDEEREEEEE­EEFASDHGFBHGASDHDFASZVFV

[MsGiseleT]

i seriously miss the 90s!!! ugh

[BostonShawn17]

What's the name of a song that goes like " She has faith in me, JUST BECAUSE something"

just because is the only lyric I remember but I don't think it's in this list. It's alternative rock in like a semisonic, tonic, type form

[hobbobbobber]

that weird time when you can automatically begin to sing a song you cant recall ever hearing...

[RionaDaidouji]

So... when I was a kid, I HATED Bittersweet Symphony. I'm not sure why, since it's not really a BAD song per say, I just hated it. I remember changing the channel anytime it came on. And when it came on this list, I actually reflexively reached for the remote control. (Not the back button, the remote control!)

[24sweetlou]

Man in the Box in number 1 dummy

[TheSutrea]

@stevepartlow dont dis Kurt would have wanted that they were going to go on a consert together but kurt killed himself they were great friends as rem would have wanted kurt to be in first place too

[TheMktorres]

I may not agree with the order but I fucking LOVE all these songs. Life was so much better back then.

[ChablesMan]

Maybe it's just me, but I think there should be more Beck and Radiohead on this list. Just sayin...

[LucifersArms666]

@stevepartlow i said the samething

[thatbastardson]

under the bridge is some of the best guitar you will ever hear, in your entire life. just saying.

[prshun]

No Doubt, Depeche Mode, U2, and REM.. alternate????? wtf?????

[asiankid107]

I thought alternitive was made in 2000.

[alissamae68]

@asiankid107 no stupied

[asiankid107]

@alissamae68 Well I'm sorry for being wrong /__\

[alissamae68]

@asiankid107 its ok ur asian i dont judge asians i make love to em

[asiankid107]

@alissamae68 If your a guy then NO! But if your a lady, I'll accept ;P

[jerbear82]

No Doubt, Depeche Mode, U2, and REM don't belong on this list. Alanis Morrisette is a stretch. They aren't alternative 90's rock. They just aren't.

[keeyk118b]

Nicely done.

[DecemberisTandKOL]

Very good job man i agree with 90 percent of this like the REM song at the top..and the cranberries Zombie was nice..

[mastdane]

Respect for putting this together. Fuck the people telling you what should be in the top and what shouldn't.

No respect for time and effort put in.

[realisticHomeboy]

@mastdane Don't read comments if you are that sensitive to people's opinions.

[mastdane]

@realisticHomeboy How am I sensitive to people's opinion? All I'm doing is expressing my own opinion.

[realisticHomeboy]

@mastdane And so are they.

[mykol41]

Dude, REM is a CLASSIC 90's sentimental shit songs. If you can't relate shut the fuck up your not old enough. lol

[moowans08]

i agree with a lot of the comments. i liked 90 percent of these songs so it is a good general list, but the ranking was questionable. it is his opinion though and i respect that.

[bigweezey]

Can anyone explain y number 8 was in the top ten?

[rosssization]

@bigweezey because its a great fucking song ya dingus, grow a dick.

[bigweezey]

@rosssization Then put something else in there besides a repeat of words as ur clip for the song then and I will believe it.

[waygee1234]

REM as number 1.... that is F'd up. But I like the compilation of songs. Wish there was a cd of all these tracks.

[killagingatk]

honestly I don't think this was a very good ranking of songs but a good general listing of good songs

[nessierose522]

The nostalgia I feel is overwhelming...

[KillerKwean13]

I LOVE SUBLIME!

[young7773]

quit hating, sit back and enjoy

[davdel79]

Where is the Butthole Surfers?? Pepper??? Too much mainstream pop on this list. Nice try.

[cntsay1]

your top ten blows

[smokescreen]

Stone Temple Pilots Performed here in Manila just then last year i guess

[clindsay8911]

I thought your opinion of the list was alternative in itself isnt that why we listen to this kind of music quit bitchin ppl its music bunch of fuckin trolls man

[bluBlaq33]

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MUSIC???!!!!! this makes me very sad, at least theres underground music ^_^ all you need to do is dig deep

[softies69]

AWESOME!!!...until the top ten?..

[e1ep4an1]

Anyone who comments: like this if you like some popular band; is just desperate. Dislike if you're one of those people. Because I'm a whore. LOL

[Rsetness9]

holy crap i love sex and candy

[evanhub40]

There should be a lot more soundgarden in this list, to be fair...... take out all the bullshit bands no ones heard of next time you make a video please.

[redoubt9000]

@evanhub40 Funny, I distinctly remember every single one of those bands... as they were pretty much on the forefront. I don't really care for the ranking - but to argue about it is moronic, and possibly misses completely the point some acts were pushing since their inception..

If anything I can't stand some (Namely soundgarden AND nirvana) and upon hearing them induces nausea. Not really :P But they are far from my favorites. I could live another decade without hearing another song of theirs.

[deftonesfreak]

you ruined the whole list with the number one song dude hehe

[miadavis]

you had me til #1

[PatsSoxCeltsHawks]

Decent list, but here's a few things. 1. Smells Like Teen Spirit is #1...always will be. 2. Missed a lot of notable songs: Killing in the Name: Rage Against the Machine This is a Call: Foo Fighters My Hero: Foo Fighters Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)- The Offspring The Kids Aren't Alright- The Offspring Lithium- Nirvana Californication: RHCP just a few there. Solid list, but there was some forgettable garbage (no pun intended) on there that could've been replaced

[MrRobert7917]

this was more mainstream than alternative

there was a few good ones like the breeders

[ravenstyx]

u2 and rem in 1 and 3 positions someone needs to flush your head down the toilet bowl a few times.

[Obelisong]

@stevepartlow Bullshit, huh?

[TheFourdhatchets]

shouldve rick rolled fo number 1

[0XLilMissCX0]

Nirvana shouldve been #1!!!!

[komaxlaredo]

hahaha...REM your a pussy.

[siempreketty]

Que tiempos....tambien me recuerda el cole..:).

[TKLvloggers]

I like oasis ;)))

[sigmamike89]

thumbs the fuck up if u think this idiot was born in 2005 yes making him/her 6 years dumb and googled up a fucken list of songs from the 90s ahhh fuck asshole

[Aezandar42]

I was waitin for REM. I definiitely wouldn't have put it first, for sure. But definitely on the list, top ten-ish. You started stronger than you finished, imo. But otherwise a great list and memory of my childhood :D

[17acoronado]

INCUBUS!!!!

[jesusofsuburbia43]

BLINK 182?!?!?! SOCIAL D?!?!?!?

[sirgumpalump]

#9 what the fuck



[dirtyfrank81]

you put Pearl Jam as #16 and #27, seriously???? No way you were around in the 90s, maybe in diapers. I almost lost if when I saw that the verve & depeche mode was in your top 10. dont get me wrong, i like rem, but to put them as #1, you were way off. sorry man, but your list sucks!

[joshmanfitone]

dude ur list sucks ass

[xXllPARDOWllXx]

Bittersweet must be on top 5!!

[vicsilva651]

Depech? gay

[gearsssofwarrr]

incubus ?

[mikeallan69]

@gearsssofwarrr no kidding, Incubus owned the 90s

[gearsssofwarrr]

any true nirvana fan can tell you smells like teen spirit shouldnt be in the top 10 lithium or something along those lines should be up there

[patrickjason1]

@gearsssofwarrr Any true Nirvana fan would be proud that a nirvana song was in the top ten...

[VisionPoet]

@gearsssofwarrr I see why you would say that as a fan (I am too). I think people put it up so high sine it was the single that catapulted them to the top and is credited as pretty much obliterating the mainstream crap that was out at the time. I see where you're coming from though buddy. Believe me I do.

[blindgardenjam]

@gearsssofwarrr You sir are an idiot. If smells like teen spirit wasn't created we wouldn't have heard of half the bands on this list. It DEFINATELY deserves to be in the top ten (Number one in fact). It was that single song that brought alternative music to mainstream music. It changed music videos from there on out. Put MTV on the map (when Mtv was cool). It fueled a generation of angst filled teens. Plus its still one of the best songs ever created then and even now. "true nirvana fan" hahah

[gearsssofwarrr]

@blindgardenjam well everyone is entitled to there own opinion

[blindgardenjam]

@gearsssofwarrr I agree with you, and its my opinion he is an idiot for the reasons i have stated.

[McIntire4NC]

@blindgardenjam I watched the first part of the video and then looked at the comments. When initially looking at your name, I thought you were saying you're a fan of Third Eye Blind, Savage Garden, and Pearl Jam. I was going to comment that the first two bands dont really go with the third. However I then shook the cobwebs out and realized you were cool and dont listen to shit. Good on ya.

[blindgardenjam]

@gearsssofwarrr your** (didnt realise it was you who posted it)

[theundone1]

@blindgardenjam No, it should not. Smells Like Teen Spirit was initially written as a joke. There were so many angsty teen rock songs out before Smells like teen spirit anyways. All that song did was help the kids too stupid too actually pay attention to anything to find them. For example Sonic Youth, R.E.M, Husker Du and The Replacements. Also, R.E.M is the band that helped this music gain popularity, Nirvana just followed in their success.

[steve9142]

@blindgardenjam fuck nirvana

[IcyHipster]

@blindgardenjam Dude you are a dipshit. Just because it is mainstream doesn't mean its good. There are many many many many many songs better than smells like teen spirit. You are going to disagree with me because that is your opinion. Which is all it is and all it ever will be, not a proven fact. This was this persons opinion why can't you respect that. I don't see you making a video based on your opinions. All you do is post witty comments thinking everything you type is correct

[AshLionHeart]

@blindgardenjam MTV was cool when MTV actually played video's, not when Kurt Cocaine and Nirvana hit the scene, silly girl. Yea, would most certainly wanted to been around annoying angst teens, look at the generation now, guess we should be blaming teen pregnancy into that category for having stupid children because of Nirvana shouldn't we? lol

[HeavenoBliss]

@gearsssofwarrr Are you kidding me? First of all, had "smells like teen spirit" not come out, 90% of "true Nirvana fans" wouldn't have known who they are. Just because it wasn't one of Kurt's faves, does not mean it isn't deserving of top ten in a list dedicated to the 90's..Second, Lithium? Really? If you were going to choose another song, why would you choose one from the same "pop" inspired album??

[daibreak]

Ok, so... you totally had me with this list until the top 10. Depeche Mode? In the top 10, really? What about Better than Ezra? Sneaker Pimps? Blind Melon? Third Eye Blind? Eve 6? Blink 182? No??? I realize these are your faves, but you really had me going until the top 10.

I still clicked "like" though... thanks for putting this together.

@MrSinginging - you're not the only one... I don't like U2 or REM either.

[celticlk86]

top ten suck! i agree with a few but come on

[MrBabyBlue1991]

epic songs

[vegan4life1992]

@MrSigninging he was talking about the top 10 not the whole playlist

[SuperPlayoffs]

fail

[Siouxeety]

beastie boys is NOT alternative music.its rap/rock.

[Worthen1020]

This shit absolutely fucking sucks... Really.. Really..Really No.... You dont even have alice in chains or pearl jam in the top ten or any creed what the hell...

[LENKWOLF92]

Nirvana definitely shouldnt have been #1,

[TheRodFarva]

LIKE if you think Nirvana should have been #1.

[aerocmetallica1995]

I agree with everything on here but the last three. For number 3, U2's just really overrated in my opinion. For number 2, SLTS is one of Nirvana's... lesser songs (and this is coming from a hardcore fan; something along the lines of All Apologies would've been nice). Number one is a really good song, but I think others could've filled the position. Either way, this was a great list :D

[EddieNeverSleeps]

Losing my Religion is from the 80s

[prayforfire]

@EddieNeverSleeps No, it's not, it's from 1991. And since you obviously didn't know, but just mindlessly typed the first things that popped in your head, please exercise restraint in the future.

[mrfacephone]

@EddieNeverSleeps actually its from 1991 dude

[Flynnja]

Most this shit ain't alternative, was good to hear a couple good songs that I had forgotten though. But Depche Mode, U2, Third Eye Blind as alternative? Fack no.

[daemonCoy27]

@Flynnja agreed! and also Nirvana.. Kurt's songs are all grunge, not alternative

[prayforfire]

@daemonCoy27 Oh boy, these comments are all so ridiculous. Everything on this playlist was deemed "alternative" when it came out, and yes, "grunge" was definitely considered a subgroup of alternative music. Saying grunge is different than alternative is like saying heavy metal is different than rock. Since most of you were probably still in your diapers in the 90's, how about not criticizing every single thing on the internet and making yourself look like idiots?

[nsbchildrenofthecorn]

11 and 9 don't really fit and they shouldn't od been so high. They aren't that great of songs.

[luckyman560]

ONE OF THE BEST GUITARIST's is Eric Clapton.

[luckyman560]

I like BARE and NAKED ladies!

[CaliforniaGurls258]

You spelled religion wrong.

[platinumare]

wicked list, yep big time nostalgia.

[luckyman560]

Fuck ALL ya punk's I survived! And ain't no pity in POPES city!

[quidzrock]

wat the ?...beastie boys?... depeche mode?...REM?...nine inch nail?..

[SweeenslowTheSexy]

i came here to find some music to listen to but i had already heard all of it :/

[Sailerrman]

I can't believe that was 30 songs it didn't seem that long. Great playlist!

[danielzeak]

Dude why is everyone on nirvanas' nuts"? Maybe tome York shouldda blew his head off after kid-a lol

[realjester]

Great List.

you Should check out this I think he will be on a list like this soon

Fleet Walker

[newbieb1]

I liked the whole list but was a bit shocked at #1. i was seriously expecting Nirvana. but all in all good job.

[stpisbackforgood]

yea this is obviously "opinion" because this is all very wrong lol !!! wow dissapointing !!!

[TheArchitectOfDreams]

I'm sad at the #1, I was expecting Nirvana or someone other that REM, Rage against the Machine, Pearl Jam, heck why not THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G :P *shrugs* I love the list of songs though. So over all, a Thumbs up :D

[TheMufasa27]

the hell is tool??? really?

[MrMattchang]

Weezer should be here, they're badass

[MyNameIsRayChong]

Smells like teen spirit made it in every single chart on youtube.

[germaX19]

OASIS ! THE BEST !

[gaibby97]

green day <3333

[45tip]

Worst fuckin list I have ever seen main!! Your top 10 is all messed up(my opinion) should have went 10: REM, loosin relig. 9:Godsmack, Keep Away 8: Alanis, you outta know 7:Rage Against, gurilla radio(turn that shit up lol) 6: Radiohead, creep 5: Korn, Freak on a Leash 4: Live, lightning Crashes 3:Filter, Nice Shot 2:Alice in Chains, Man in the Box 1: NIRVANA, TEEN SPIRIT, thats THE greatest song of the 90's not just in rock but every-fuckin thing main!!

[rick81wag]

what? rem over nirvana in the 90s?

[3mangafan]

dude, the first (ir only) offspring is called seperated not come out and play

[TyWade87]

@3mangafan Nope it's called Come Out And Play...



[crystalhydrick]

Been lookin for this-with a pocket full of shells.

[susb82]

Nirvana should have been number one

[drummer4916]

Everlong should atleast be in the top 25 if not number 1, but otherwise good list

[IIMicah]

Glad to see NIN in the top 5, and The Verve in the top 10.

[ssmithers39]

By the way, so glad U2 is in the top 3.

[ssmithers39]

I looked up this video to find some songs to download. So glad I grew up in the 90s.

[h76787982]

Alanis morisette huh? You suck. Why don't you throw up driveshaft while you're at it.

[goozbaghali]

great choice for number 1

[SleddLine]

it was good until you got to the top 10...i would not select those out of all 90s as my top 10. Alanis morisette should of been WAY back...same with depeche mode. But hey... its your list. where was NIN hurt? or any days of the new, creed, metallica...since korn is making alternative lists...etc.etc etc..i can go on and on. but i gotta admit, you brought back some good memories with your countdown. good stuff.

[ksoundkrew]

Nice list but you had too many people with 4 or 5 songs, missed bands like urge overkill, lush, mudhoney, throwing muses, pixies, belly, Liz Phair, dinosaur jr, lemon heads, etc; you missed a lot

[MrSerdelag]

Cool list, but what happened to Rico Suave?

[81tflores]

Glad to see that you didn't make Nirvana Smells like Teen Spirit #1.. That song always seems to be #1 on everyone's list!! You didn't follow the heard

[usernameis770]

o, RATM is number 8

[usernameis770]

RATM? where they at?
