10.

Number 10 was Nirvana's 'Smells like teen spirit' in 1991. This music video blew away the 80s and the original idea was Kurt Cobain's; he wanted the video to be about the film 'Over the edge' where teenagers burn down a school. The director, Samuel Bayer, said that this was too far and the band did not like him at all. They did not want to lip synch and thought the cheerleaders were too pretty. Kurt was angry while shooting the video and Bayer said he thinks this helped the video. Kids who were drunk were recruited and they asked if they could destroy the set, so Bayer said yes because he was too tired and filmed it because he thought it looked beautiful. Kurt Cobain become the icon for generation X as 'grunge' became mainstream and made Nirvana from being obscure in Seattle to an international band. This changed music for at least 2/3 years.
