Top 10 Decade Defining Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Songs: 1990s

Script written by Alex Crilly-Mckean. This decade saw metal become infused with other rock genres like alternative, funk and industrial, as well as the rise of so-called “nu-metal.” For our series on the Top 10 Decade Defining Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Songs Per Decade, we've based our choices on a mix of a track's success, popularity and their ability to represent the decade in question. We're limiting it to one song per artist per decade, but you still might see some overlapping of artists over the decades. This is part of a series of videos spanning hard rock and heavy metal music from the 1970s to the 2000s. While alternative-rock flourished in the mainstream, only those alternative bands whose sound was decidedly influenced by metal made the cut here. That means no Nirvana.
