Naming the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-alternative-songs-by-one-hit-wonders/ranker-music?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best alternative rock songs</a> of all time is quite the burden to anyone that considers themselves a fan of alt rock. As someone who proudly wears that moniker, I was a bit affronted when the voting I did made so little impact on the final rankings of radio station ALT 98.7 fm's list of the 98 <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-90s-alternative-songs/ranker-music?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best alt rock</a> songs &quot;of all time&quot;. All time. Not 2013, not the decade or even the century...ever.In reordering this list of the greatest alt rock songs ever (according to some insignificant sample of terrestrial radio listeners in LA) by some of the <a href="/list/best-alternative-rock-bands-and-artists/reference">top alternative artists of all time</a>, the hard part wasn't separating the actual timeless alternative rock songs from the crap songs filling out the 98, it was deciding what order to put 50-odd songs that should all have been 99 or greater in some semblance of order that justified their inclusion among songs like &quot;Jeremy&quot;, &quot;Song 2&quot;, &quot;Smells Like Teen Spirit&quot;, and other alt rock staples that truly deserve to be called the top alternative songs of all time. List of best alt rock songs ever (my way) is a reorder of what I was given by the listeners over at KYSR 98.7 fm. The original rank is listed and some of the songs have commentary (mostly when I don't believe the song to actually be alternative). Make no mistake, there are some doozies missing from what purports to be a greatest alt rock songs ever list. While there's some merit to including&nbsp;<a href="/list/greatest-alternative-songs-by-one-hit-wonders/ranker-music">quality one-hit wonders</a>&nbsp;like &quot;Flagpole Sitta&quot; and &quot;No Rain&quot;, there's not a single song from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Hole, The Pixies, Rage Against the Machine, Garbage, Flaming Lips...I could go on, promise.Anyhoo, you've got my order. Vote on the best alt rock songs in history, make your own ranking, go nuts.

90s Music

Here are the greatest&nbsp;'90s alternative songs, ranked by fans everywhere. Alternative music first got its start in the 1970s. It emerged from the independent music scene and embodies multiple rock traditions, such as the DIY nature of punk rock. The genre really began to hit its stride in the 1990s when a host of new artists adopted the label and played to sold-out crowds around the United States. Put on your favorite flannel shirt and get ready to throw up the devil horns because these are the most popular '90s alternative songs.&nbsp;Alternative rock often goes hand-in-hand with other genres. In the '90s, grunge was all the rage. A lot of alternative artists at the time from Nirvana to Soundgarden incorporated grunge into their music style, but they were alternative all the same. One of the most prominent alternative bands of the era was The Smashing Pumpkins, who released&nbsp;Mellon Collie &amp; the Infinite Sadness&nbsp;in 1995. The double album would go on to sell over 10 million copies. Other <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/alternative-bands-and-artists/music-lover?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">great alternative bands</a> on this list of over 100 are Weezer, Nirvana, The Cranberries, and so many more.Which of the songs on this list do you remember jamming out to? Proud Gen-Xers will remember a lot of these songs on their high school dance playlists. This list of good '90s alternative songs has some of the defining tracks of the era, so vote for the ones that speak to you.
