Metal Hammer have compiled a list of 100 best songs of the ’90s.

The source wrote: “The ’90s were good, weren’t they? So bloody good.

“It was the decade that gave us Forrest Gump, Dolly the sheep, Friends, the N64 and Harry Potter. It also gave us Marilyn Manson, Korn, Machine Head and Rage Against the Machine, who are still some of the biggest names in rock and metal. Basically, we love the ’90s.

“And to celebrate our undying adoration for the ’90s we (along with some of your favorite bands) decided to count down the 100 best songs of the decade. It took ages. But we think this is pretty much the greatest ’90s playlist you’re ever going to find.

“Please note, we had one rule in place: Only one song per album allowed.”
