A LOSER AND A CREEP: Seven years into the 00s and VH1 has officially made it OK to start the '90s nostalgia with its list of the 100 Greatest Songs of the '90s. Ahead of the December five-part airing (Any early guesses on who will host? My hunch is Chris Kattan and Lisa Loeb, for no particular reason.), you can vote for your favorite top 10.

ALOTT5MAers, let's put together our own top 10. Leave your 10 picks in no particular order from the VH1 list in the comments below and we'll put together our ALOTT5MA Top 10 of the '90s early next week.

And, yes, the VH1 list sucks in many ways. Only one song per artist and in most cases they chose the artist's hit as opposed to their best song(s), but there is enough wheat here to put together a good list. As a bonus, list one song and one song only from the '90s you wish had made the list.

Here are my top 10 (in no order) and one omission:
  1. One (U2)
  2. Creep (Radiohead)
  3. Losing My Religion (REM)
  4. Closer (Nine Inch Nails)
  5. Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
  6. Loser (Beck)
  7. Doll Parts (Hole)
  8. My Name Is (Eminem)
  9. Groove Is in the Heart (Deee-lite)
  10. MMMBop (Hanson)
And my omission is Son Volt's Windfall. Your turn.
