three rock songs from the 1990s<\/a> that will get your friends singing. <\/p>\n\u201cBullet With Butterfly Wings\u201d by The Smashing Pumpkins from \u2018Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness\u2019 (1995)<\/p>\n
It may seem strange today, but in the mid-1990s, music fans of all ages were singing about being a rat in a cage. We all had rage, but despite that, we all kind of also felt like we knew what that overgrown mouse was feeling behind bars. It was a weird time to be alive. And at the center of it all were The Smashing Pumpkins with their sticky lyrics about vermin. Odd? Yes. But would we go back? Any day of the week!<\/p>\n
\u201cBlack Hole Sun\u201d by Soundgarden from \u2018Superunknown\u2019 (1994)<\/p>\n
This song sums up the 1990s. From one angle, it\u2019s the most catchy tune ever. Chris Cornell gave the decade an image to stare at\u2014this black hole sun. But if you\u2019ve ever tried to sing the entire set of lyrics for this track, you know. It gets a little hard to follow. And yet, we always return to the chorus. We are always with Cornell, singing about that burning dark orb in the sky. Sometimes when you sing along, you don\u2019t know every word. But that doesn\u2019t stop you from trying. <\/p>\n
\u201cHand In My Pocket\u201d by Alanis Morissette from \u2018Jagged Little Pill\u2019 (1995)<\/p>\n
After Kurt Cobain died in 1994, rock music felt a giant void. But in stepped Alanis Morissette and her 1995 LP, Jagged Little Pill. The record wasn\u2019t as bleak as albums like In Utero, but it still satisfied the hunger for rock that many music fans had at the time. It was a perfect addition to the sonic landscape. It also offered a number of songs to sing along to, including \u201cHand In My Pocket\u201d, which supplied lyrics that remain equally catchy and silly.<\/p>\n
