A personal favourite is Tori Amos' Spark.

I'll happily go with Groove Is in the Heart though if that's popular. Because most of the other nominations so far are giving me heart attacks. Millennium isn't even Robbie Williams' best song, let alone the best of the decade...

Not really a great song, but "Will the Real Slim Shady PLease Stand Up", by Eminem. First rap song I ever heard.

Radiohead - Exit Music (For A Film)

Tool's 46+2 could also take the top spot...

Depends what mood I'm in.

Yup, Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana is a good choice.

Nevermind was probably THE rock album of the 90's - they were pioneers in my opinion for all rock / alternative acts to come after them.

Why did you have to spoil it all by chucking in a song by those melodramatic has-beens metal-licka?

The 90's, Dustn, the 90's! Linkin Park weren't doing their thing back then!

I'll happily go with the Radiohead suggestion, although I'd pick Let Down over Exit Music I think.

Actually Nirvana was influenced heavily by a lot of other artists. To say they were one of the first of their kind to break into the mainstream media is much more accurate then saying they pioneered all acts after them.

Kurt Cobain himself said he just wanted to write songs that sounded like The Pixies.

You shouldn't gauge how good a song is by how good MTV says their video is. That's artistic blasphemy.

Fair enough.
They definately "brought it to the masses" - for lack of a better expression.

Obviously every band is influenced by the pioneers before them. Even the pioneers in one 'field / genre' will be influenced by other genres.

Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack...in fact, Blue Lines by Massive Attack, I'm going for the whole album, absolutely seminal...;-)
