I don't like the idea of a "best" anything when it comes to artistic expression, but when I think of 90's rock this is the first song that comes to mind:[YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh5_Wdd80lE"]I want something else to get me through this...[/YOUTUBE]

I can't believe I was only 6 when that song came out! :headphne:

"Cherub Rock" was actually one of the first songs I thought of! I came up with two. Admittedly personal preference is in play, but these are kickass songs.

This was going to be one of my choices until I found out it actually came out in 1989. Still, everyone who likes rock should hear it, so here it is.

The Cult just recently played Seattle. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend.

I guess we can agree that 'rock' is a very flexible term.

I've heard AiC in specific, on their current tour (with Deftones and Mastodon) is epic, btw... It's coming here next weekend. $60 :(

Hey, it'll be worth it.

They were supposed to be at Memphis in May this year but the western half of the state decided to flood the night they were going to play, so they didn't make it. I think they're gonna try to come back next year.

Oh, I'm sure it would. If I had $60 to spare, I'd do it in a minute.

I've wanted to see all three of the bands live, for a while now.

Bit of a seventies sound, but one of the best songs of the nineties.

[YOUTUBE="jmR9F12CVIM"]Stone Roses - Breaking into heaven[/YOUTUBE]

This one breathes 90's.

[YOUTUBE="uRc4IuAP3fg"]Offspring - Pretty fly for a white guy[/YOUTUBE]

... I actually wanted to pick more, just to annoy Beat :harhar:, but I these two seem to be the absolute best, and I couldn't think of any other.

More to annoy Beat but it was impossible to pick best overall. How about a best rock ballad subcategory?

You're just lucky that I'm sticking to the rock genre, and not including any electronica.
