Best Post-Grunge Songs

This list shows the best post grunge songs from various artists of 90s and 00s.
The Top Ten
Everlong - Foo Fighters

When I first heard this song, I was obsessed with the chorus where Dave Grohl's lyrics speed up. Great song, and it definitely deserves to be on here.

This is the only option, towering high above the rest of this (although admittedly underrated) genre.

The Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin

The Diary of Jane brings out the anger and frustration in you. It's the best post-grunge song ever. I see others have rated other songs higher than this, but believe me, this song exemplifies the grunge in post-grunge.

Best damn song in my opinion, with a mixture of sadness and the ability to relax you with their powerful words.

Clearly the best out of here. Totally over Foo Fighters so far.

Hemorrhage (In My Hands) - Fuel

First off, Brett Scallions in his prime had one of the best live voices ever. Put that together with Carl Bell's writing, and you have this song, which I fell in love with the first time I heard it. My band is playing this song now. Just wow. Every time I hear it, it blows me away even more.

Great, great song. Supreme vocals by Brett Scallions. You can really feel the emotion when he sings, "Don't fall away and leave me to myself." God, I almost forgot how much I love this tune!

Most emotional song of all time.

How You Remind Me - Nickelback

My favorite song ever! Nickel-haters can back off. This is the best post-grunge song.

Animal I Have Become - Three Days Grace

Adam is a legend and has one of the most unique voices and sounds in rock as a whole. He dominated post-grunge with an iron grip.

Adam's voice is the most unique among all vocalists of post-grunge bands!

Best post-grunge song ever, with a singer who has the best voice!

Far Behind - Candlebox
Higher - Creed

One of the best songs by Creed and helped pioneer the genre.

Shine - Collective Soul
Sex and Candy - Marcy Playground
Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down

Such a nostalgic-sounding song. Try and tell me you automatically don't teleport to an early 2000s arcade when this song comes on.

The Newcomers

? Plowed - Sponge

This song is excellent. It should be among the top because Sponge was one of the first post-grunge bands.

? Just Close Your Eyes - Jim Johnston
The Contenders
My Own Prison - Creed

Just great. I think it is Creed's best song. The music and composition are extraordinary. This is by a group whose members were in their early twenties.

Just so rustic but still has a glitter of its own. Creed is the best band.

This song is a masterpiece. Regardless of what you think of Creed, this is top 3 material. Listen for yourself and see.

Santa Monica - Everclear
Bound for the Floor - Local H

This band is great! They sound like a mix of Nirvana and The Offspring. They are really underrated and have so many good albums that every grunge and rock fan should hear.

Lightning Crashes - Live
Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind
I Hate Everything About You - Three Days Grace
Greed - Godsmack
I Alone - Live
With Arms Wide Open - Creed
Break - Three Days Grace

Awesome. It goes a little bit into the emo genre, but as a post-grunge fan, I still have Break on my playlist. Catchy rhythms!

Leader of Men - Nickelback
My Sacrifice - Creed
Blurry - Puddle of Mudd

The top 5 should be: Blurry, Hemorrhage (In My Hands), Shimmer, Iris, and Name. Blurry is so beautiful. Three Days Grace isn't even post-grunge, nor are Seether and Breaking Benjamin. Grunge is not dead, so don't make it seem that way. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley.

Looked up this list specifically to make sure this song was on it.

Should be in the top 3 at least. What a beautiful song! Really underrated.

3 Am - Matchbox Twenty
Tomorrow - Silverchair
