Top 150 Greatest Alternative Rock Songs of the 1990s

Top 100 Greatest Alternative Rock Songs of the 1990s

Alternative rock songs did the unthinkable in the 90s – they became global hits and cultural touchstones. This type of music had been growing ever since the previous decade. Still, few, if anyone, could’ve predicted the success, both artistic and commercial, of some of the biggest alternative rock songs of the 90s and the artists behind them.

This is why today we are looking at the most creative, the most influential and the most groundbreaking music of that fabled time. I am counting down the 150 greatest alternative rock songs of the 90s for Alt77.

Criteria for Song Selection

The 150 greatest alternative rock songs of the 1990s were, fortunately, also ones that achieved global notoriety. While this is hardly the case now, it certainly makes my job easier. I didn’t want to get too clever with the picks, opting for obscure Mongolian groups that only recorded Demo cassettes.

Instead, these are songs that had a massive impact on listeners and on many other alternative bands. These are songs that signified a change in what was possible in music, often bringing in experimental, leftfield tactics. The ranking of the 150 songs is determined principally by these factors.

Top 150 Greatest Alternative Rock Songs of the 1990s

1. “Losing My Religion” – R.E.M. (1991)

“Losing My Religion” by R.E.M. proved alternative rock, unlike most pop music, didn’t need to follow any formats. This was a global hit by a band from Athens, Georgia, U.S.A., who had been the toast of 1980s underground. This was a song that lent the spotlight to tortured poetic lyrics and to the mandolin as a lead instrument, not the guitar. And, just as importantly, it was a song that instantly resonated with people from all walks of life, from across the world. It still does.

R.E.M. achieved the freedom that all artists in the alternative rock space desired. It’s no wonder that Kurt Cobain admitted being envious of the group. “Losing My Religion” helped R.E.M. sell 30 million copies of their album “Out of Time.” But the band did it by their own rules and through their own pace.

The discography of R.E.M. was already celebrated by people in the know. Each new album brought new fans and an increase in popularity. In singer Michael Stipe and guitarist Peter Buck, the band had atypical rockstars, artists who relied on their instincts. R.E.M. didn’t copy but invent. And, in turn, they would be copied by a myriad of bands trying to crack their formula.

The undeniable success, creative and commercial, of “Losing My Religion” felt like a victory for the entire alternative-rock community. It paved the way for indie-rock, grunge, or even nu-metal to have success. The general public’s taste was suddenly open to sounds that didn’t fit a simple formula. R.E.M. slowly educated the public, and this was the culmination of their efforts.

Pop songs tend to lose their power upon repeated listens. That’s not the case with “Losing My Religion.” It’s a song so well-written, complete with a performance so full of emotion, that it became the best alternative rock song of the 1990s.

The Meaning Behind Nirvana's "Blew," Kurt Cobain's First Great Song


2. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” – Nirvana (1991)

“Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana is the ultimate underdog story. Here’s a song by a trio from rain-drenched Seattle, featuring punk-infused power chords and taking more than a little inspiration from the bands Pixies and Boston that immediately impacted the world of pop music. Stranger still, with each passing year, the magic of the song doesn’t seem to evaporate.

Few saw it coming. Nirvana’s discography is a sadly short one but filled with marvellous quirks and idiosyncrasies. The band’s singer and main songwriter, Kurt Cobain, was directly influenced by dissonant punk, art-rock, folk and even classic rock. The band’s great first album, “Bleach,” presented these influences. But it also seemed to suggest that Nirvana would not be a commercial proposition.

Nevermind,” of course, proved any naysayers wrong. A pristine pop album, filled with memorable hooks, great songs, and emotional lyrical and vocal delivery, the album was an instant smash hit. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” may have been an afterthought as far as Geffen Records was concerned, but it gave the label a band just as commercially successful as their beloved Guns n’ Roses.

Before you knew it, Nirvana clones were springing up everywhere and being signed to major labels. But original, honest rock groups were inspired by Nirvana as well. Kurt Cobain continues to be a reference point for many of the new musicians picking up guitars today.

As most readers will know, the story of Nirvana and Cobain ended tragically in April of 1994. It is not a stretch to say that, by the time it was over, Nirvana had changed the world. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is not just the band’s most famous song. It is one of the few alternative rock songs that seems to connect with audiences of any type, any time it is played.


3. “Under the Bridge” – Red Hot Chili Peppers (1992)

Under the Bridge” by Red Hot Chili Peppers was another hit song that seemed to tell the world that alternative rock bands could do anything. These bands could afford to take risks, to challenge their artistic abilities, and to try and surprise audiences.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ fans must have surely been caught off-guard. The band had grown a sizeable but local California fan base in the 1980s on the strength of a funk-rock sound played with maniacal intensity. The Chili Peppers enjoyed crude humour, often playing naked on stage. Their singer, Anthony Kiedis, preferred rapping to singing whenever possible. And, by the time of their album “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” in 1992, they’d already been through a number of line-up changes.

“Under the Bridge” respected none of those stereotypes. The song is built on a poem written by Anthony Kiedis. The words deal with the issue of drug addiction, an issue all too familiar with the band.

RHCP’s previous guitar player, Hillel Slovak, had died of a drug overdose. His replacement, John Frusciante, now felt comfortable enough in the band to bring his Jimi Hendrix-inspired wizardry. Meanwhile, in the dynamic rhythm section, Flea and Chad Smith also felt at ease to play softly on “Under the Bridge.” The result is a dramatic alternative rock number that opens with Frusciante’s moody guitar arpeggios and ends with fiery backing vocals.

“Under the Bridge” catapulted Red Hot Chili Peppers to superstardom, a status they would keep until the present day. It wasn’t the song anyone thought they could write or that could be globally successful, but once more, an alternative rock band proved it could take on the odds.


4. “Zombie” – The Cranberries (1994)

“Zombie,” of the many songs written about The Troubles in Ireland, is the most haunting and the only international hit. The fact that this was produced by an alternative-rock band whose bread and butter were tender, sensitive songs about love and family made the words and Dolores O’Riordan’s singing all the more powerful.

“Zombie” became a global smash hit. It’s one of the best-known alternative rock songs of the 1990s. And, in the context of modern political troubles, it is frequently covered today.

However, “Zombie” is also an anomaly in the discography of The Cranberries. It’s true that the time was ripe for the Irish band to become very successful. But those looking for other angry, distorted songs like “Zombie” in the band’s catalogue would have been surprised. Instead, this is an angry shout for peace from a band that specialized in delicate compositions.


5. “Jeremy” – Pearl Jam (1992)

“Jeremy” and Pearl Jam’s album “Ten” seemed to come out of nowhere, just like the opening line of the song does. And, “Jeremy” has undeniable power and creative momentum behind it. Judged by sound alone, it was easy to make this alternative rock song into a hit.

Yes, Pearl Jam’s sound had more in common with classic rock radio than the band’s grunge counterparts. But underneath the catchy guitar riffs, there was a restlessness to confess, to tell the truth. “Jeremy,” for example, was a song about a child being bullied in school and likely inspired by a real school shooting.

The video for “Jeremy” helped Pearl Jam’s album “Ten” reach platinum status. It would go on to be the biggest selling grunge album of all-time, albeit still somewhat eclipsed by Nirvana’s rise.

Pearl Jam would take steps to try and distance themselves from the hype. Regardless, it had proven the band’s instincts right when they hired the unknown singer Eddie Vedder and moved on from the wreckage of Mother Love Bone.


6. “Basket Case” – Green Day (1994)

“Basket Case” by Green Day is the sound that The Ramones, The Descendents, or The Undertones had all dreamed of. This was punk music that was so sticky that nobody who heard it could get it out of their minds.

That sound belonged to Green Day, a band that had paid its dues in the punk-rock underground and who had graduated from the famous 924 Gillman Street Club, where groups like Operation Ivy or Rancid had also started.

For all intents and purposes, Green Day’s album “Dookie” launched pop-punk into the homes of millions of teenagers. The movement, however, has proven to have staying power. At the time of writing, pop-punk, powered by a similar sound and aesthetic, is still massively popular. And, despite cries by some, like Sex Pistols‘ John Lydon, against the authenticity of Green Day, they have remained arena-packing alternative rock stars.


7. “Black Hole Sun” – Soundgarden (1994)

“Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden was the alternative rock song for whose success all fans of classic rock radio could be happy. Here was a Seattle band who had more in common with Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath. This was a band fronted by a singer, Chris Cornell, blessed with a four-octave range. And, this was a band finally getting its due.

Soundgarden may have been highly respected among their peers. But 1994’s hit “Superunknown” was the first time that the band truly managed to cash in on the success of grunge. The album continues to be highly regarded. It’s a great artistic achievement.

“Black Hole Sun” is the most memorable of the songs on “Superunknown” and something of a perverse experiment with retro pop music. The melodies are reminiscent of The Beatles, while the surreal lyrics add dark smoke clouds. The music video for “Black Hole Sun,” played on heavy rotation on MTV, perfectly captured that dichotomy.

Chris Cornell and Soundgarden were finally respected at the level they deserved. But, like other groups on the list, success was a double-edged sword. The pressure of fame and heavy touring made the band release just one more studio album during their initial run. Regardless, “Black Hole Sun” is, without question, one of the very best alternative rock songs of the ’90s.

8. “Loser” – Beck (1994)

Loser” was one of the biggest hits of 1994. Like “Smells Like Teen Spirit” it had seemingly arrived from nowhere, with no assistance from record labels’ A&R people. In 1994, nobody expected that lo-fi alternative rock artist Beck could have produced “Loser.”

It might sound crazy to think about it now, but Beck was indebted to no musical genre, and this was an oddity in the music business. Besides, Beck hadn’t pursued musical success. He had made countless demo cassettes showcasing his post-modern approach to copying and pasting elements from different musical genres.

When released, “Loser” sounded like something of a novelty tune. Its DYI video, made in the same vein, was immediately picked up by MTV. It’s undeniable hook and fame threatened to make Beck into an alternative rock one hit wonder.

But there was much more to the story, as it turns out. Beck would continue to take the same kinds of artistic risks with albums like “Odelay.” And, while “Loser” is one of the best known alternative rock songs of the 1990s, it is merely a speck in the artist’s incredible discography.


9. “Buddy Holly” – Weezer (1994)

“Buddy Holly” by Weezer gave hope to all the music fans who had fallen in love with Nirvana’s heavy pop hooks. Here was a new band that had mastered the art of the three-minute single, who could be just as heavy as the grunge or pop-punk bands and who possessed great humour.

In many ways, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo had a new vision of what power-pop could be. Most definitely, with Weezer’s debut, known colloquially as “The Blue Album,” he had enough great songs to make radio stations pay notice.

“Buddy Holly” is one of the best alternative rock songs of the 90s. It’s hooky, funny, and heavy. It’s no wonder why Weezer launched a bunch of copycat groups, all hoping to lend their guitar chops to pretty pop songs, all hoping to get Weezer’s dorky look just right.


10. “Freak on a Leash” – Korn (1998)

“Freak on a Leash” by Korn may just be the greatest achievement of nu-metal. A genre that had the youth of the world enthralled yet still courted many detractors, nu-metal never managed to effortlessly blend as many styles, sound as heavy, or resonate as loudly with audiences as it did with “Freak on a Leash.”

It all makes sense when investigated closer. Korn was the band that originated this sound and aesthetic. Munky and Brian “Head” Welch were the guitarists who introduced the 7-string guitar attack to this style. Jonathan Davis brought in the lyrics related to childhood trauma and also shaped the recognizable look. It was a new strategy to sound heavy, and look modern.

“Freak on a Leash” proved that while Korn had many imitators, the band was still looking for new paths forward. It became one of the biggest alternative rock songs of the 90s. It is one of the most unsettling songs to receive so much radio airplay and a rare instance of metal and beatboxing coming together.


11. “Common People” – Pulp (1995)

Common People” by Pulp was the funniest, most clever piece of social commentary of the entire Britpop era. Jarvis Cocker delivered his lyrics partway as an arrogant rock singer and partly as a self-deprecating comedian.

But Pulp was also a band that had paid its dues. And while their music was left out of the Battle of Britpop between Oasis and Blur, the band’s legendary live performance at Glastonbury showed how the group had mastered their art by the time they had made it big.

“Common People” and the album “Different Class” remain a high-point for British rock music. And, the always clever, funny Jarvis Cocker is a symbol for like-minded individuals from the rain-soaked, fashionable streets of England.


12. “Closer” – Nine Inch Nails (1994)

“Closer” by Nine Inch Nails was the work of a man with a singular vision. Trent Reznor was kicking and screaming all the way to the top of the charts just as his life, as described in music, seemed to be crashing to the bottom. But, the first time audiences may have heard this song or seen its music video on MTV, they likely questioned Reznor’s sanity, as well as that of the media owners.

Trent Reznor took on the music industry like a man plotting revenge. Nine Inch Nails’ music was inspired by Ministry, industrial metal, and an interest in all things dark, deranged, and forbidden. It, in turn, influenced countless bands as well as other artists, such as Chuck Palahniuk, author of “Fight Club.”

If listeners thought that “Closer” was depressing, they were in for quite a ride when they heard the entire album, “The Downward Spiral.” A record rivalling the great works of nihilist philosophies or existential painting, it is one of the masterpiece albums of 90s alternative music.


13. “Man in the Box” – Alice In Chains (1990)

“Man in the Box” by Alice In Chains was the sound of Seattle heavy metal before the term “grunge” came to be fashionable. It was also the sound of a band changing. What had started as a Guns n’ Roses-inspired hair-metal group had mutated into a heavy, precise, and dark-sounding hard-rock group.

In Layne Staley, Alice In Chains had a talented and schooled singer capable of creating a direct emotional impact. Jerry Cantrell was the guitar player, songwriter and seer of the group.

Like Nirvana, Alice In Chains’ original run was cut short by tragedy. “Man in the Box” is one of the best alternative songs, for certain. Fortunately, the group had time to show their strengths through ever-more subtle albums released during the 1990s.


14. “Tonight Tonight” – The Smashing Pumpkins (1995)

“Tonight Tonight” allowed The Smashing Pumpkins to confess to their audience that progressive musical ideas and world domination were on the band’s mind all along. Not that you’d know, given the grunge-friendly sounds of their previous release.

Singer and guitarist Billy Corgan may have worked his way among the grunge crowd. But playing only distorted riffs and yelling about the state of the world, as he’d do on songs like “Bullet with Butterfly Wings”, could only satisfy his creativity for so long.

“Tonight Tonight” is a gigantic, triumphant-sounding alternative rock song complete with a full orchestra. It’s the centrepiece of a double album, “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness,” that became a smash hit. It proved that alt-rock audiences were ready for anything, even prog-rock.


15. “Mr. Jones” – Counting Crows (1993)

“Mr. Jones” by Counting Crows sounds as if it was written during a frenzied episode of pure inspiration. It sounds as if, had David Bryson and Adam Duritz not put it to tape, it would have been lost forever.

Audiences over the world must have felt the same way. Released as the first single from the band’s debut, “August and Everything After,” “Mr. Jones” steamrolled through the charts, leaving audiences with more questions than answers about the lyrics.

Sure, Counting Crows had other noteworthy songs. These helped the band lead an assault on the charts that combined classic folk values with modern soft-pop hooks. No other song was on the level of “Mr. Jones,” but then again, how could anyone make such insane demands in the first place?

16. “Creep” – Radiohead (1992)

Creep” by Radiohead is one of the most recognizable songs of the 1990s. It’s a pleasantly surprising grunge rock song. It’s a song whose lyrics about creepily stalking others strangely resonate with audiences. And it is the only song like it that Radiohead ever wrote.

In its wake, Radiohead was unfairly dubbed “The British Nirvana.” They would soon shake these shackles off and progress from one album to the next, introducing new layers of emotion and musical complexity along the way.

Regardless, “Creep” perfectly distilled the sound of the time to one song. There might be no other sound that defines 90s alternative rock better than Jonny Greenwood’s chugging pre-chorus guitar.


17. “Killing in the Name” – Rage Against the Machine (1992)

“Killing in the Name” by Rage Against the Machine showed that not all alternative-rock bands had entirely forgotten about the militant ideals of 1980s rap or hardcore punk. RATM built their career left-wing politics and a sound that fused alt-rock and rap in a way that, at the time, seemed extreme.

Singer Zack de la Rocha had been a member of the hardcore band Inside Out. His lyrics dealt with his disappointment with American capitalism, his interest in struggles of the peoples of Latin America, and his championing of left-wing causes.

“Killing in the Name” was the biggest single off the band’s debut album. It featured a riff by Tom Morello, one of the best-known guitar parts of 90s rock. And, while vague in terms of lyrics, it portrayed Rage Against the Machine’s musicians as rebels against unjust authority.


18. “Wonderwall” – Oasis (1996)

“Wonderwall” by Oasis has to be one of the most played songs of the entire decade of the 1990s. The song was endlessly championed by radio stations, the video was shown frequently on MTV, and the simple guitar chords of the song often made part of the repertoire of street performers everywhere.

While we’re dangerously close to a world where “Wonderwall” by Oasis has been overplayed, it’s important not to forget what it represented. This was the crowning achievement of the biggest, best Britpop band. Blending elements of The Beatles and Sex Pistols, Oasis had charged up the charts like no other group. And, for a while, the tag of “The New Beatles” genuinely did not seem out of place.

“Wonderwall” was also the song that allowed British-focused music to crossover to the rest of the world and laid the groundwork for a strong but brief New British Invasion.


19. “Paranoid Android” – Radiohead (1997)

Paranoid Android” by Radiohead is one of the most complex songs to become a hit during the 90s. While the song’s structure is a tribute to The Beatles and progressive rock, it is also a testament to the idiosyncratic nature of alternative rock during the 1990s.

Anyone who had lost sight of Radiohead following their grunge hit, “Creep,” was about to be surprised by 1997’s album “OK Computer.” Endlessly fascinating, “OK Computer” is a songwriting masterclass. It’s endlessly inventive, brilliantly played and produced and, surprisingly, immensely catchy.

“Paranoid Android” also signified a shift. The good times of Britpop were coming to a close. The ship was going down. And the only ones that would make it were those that could swim the dangerous tides. Radiohead was no longer following trends, as it had done on its debut, but inventing a modern musical school of its own.

20. “Friday I’m in Love” – The Cure (1992)

“Friday I’m in Love” by The Cure is one of Robert Smith’s prettiest songs and a hit that the band thoroughly deserved. The Cure had been one of the premier alternative rock bands of the 80s. Their gothic-inspired albums gradually increased the band’s popularity, which led them to play for stadium crowds by the end of the decade.

But The Cure did not have a pleasing, global pop hit. “Friday I’m in Love” changed that and challenged Smith’s reputation as a doom peddler. There are few songs ever recorded that are as instantly memorable or as deserving of receiving repeated plays.

With The Cure’s reputation already well established, “Friday I’m in Love” did not shake the foundations of the band’s core group of fans. It was, instead, the cherry on top of all the band’s achievements and a reminder that the best alternative rock songs of the 90s were of global interest and possessed endless creative strength.
