Well, this is it, the top ten Rock songs of the 90′s. I am honestly happy to finally be posting this because I change my mind on the order of the final ten everyday. Admittedly, I changed up the order one last time before I posted this. Either way, I hope you enjoyed this countdown, because I definitely had a great time making it. So sit back, and enjoy the best Rock songs of the 90′s.

As a side note, here is a link to Pitchfork top twenty songs of the 90′s (they did a top 200, so if you are feeling brave, check out the rest of it). Make of that what you will.

A while ago I wrote an article on the Kaiser Chiefs, and in that article I was making the argument that what is popular in the U.K. does not always successfully transfer to the U.S., and visa versa. Coincidently, a few days ago I came across a visual representation of exactly what I was talking about. (Sadly the Kaiser Chiefs don’t make the list.) Granted the criss-crossing lines are a little hard to follow at times, but the chart still does serve the purpose of showing us just what is lost in translation, if you will, when artists cross the pond. Plus, it is really interesting to see just what our English friends prefer. One final note, if a band is highlighted, that means that it does not appear on the other nations list.
