Man I forgot about Rage and Sublime. There really was just an embarrassment of riches. I didn't even broach the Beastie's 90s contributions-- I forgot about Ill Communication which is nothing short of genius and has to be in my 90s top 5. Of course Check Your Head and Hello Nasty were amazing, too."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

But, after "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as LORD OF LORDS, what is the song of the decade? The 1980's is "Billie Jean" or "Don't Stop Believin.'" No one's gonna argue those. But, the 1990's...I don't know, after the obvious winner?
Candidates (and the criteria is that you still listen to them and like them, not just how big they were then):
"What I Got" Sublime
"Wonderwall" Oasis
"Rosa Parks" Outkast
"Loser" Beck
One of my favorite lines in any song ever is in "Loser." "Saving all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park." Having worked in fast food for 11 years, having lived in Appalachia for almost the entirety of my youth, with more than half of my neighbors in trailers, including myself for four of my first five years----am I the only Cuffer to have lived in a trailer? (and no, your mission doesn't count)----and having known many, many people with that mindset, that line of the song has never failed to at least bring the hint of a smile to my lips."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well.

Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostI based my list on what I still listen to all the time. Pearl Jam Vs or Ten should probably be on there somewhere for "Greatness" but I don't really listen to the albums anymore, just certain songs, like "Elderly Woman [...]." Also, the RHCP had hits, but their albums were always uneven for me, but Pandora and Spotify believe that the Chili Peppers are my favorite band. Tom Petty had some good albums, but they weren't incredible. But, "Mary Jane's Last Dance" is certainly among the Top 20 singles.

Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostBut, don't you think that Nimrod is just a better rock album, musically and lyrically? Give it a listen...don't think with nostalgia, but as a musician. I've always thought that the songs from Nimrod were their best work. As for Toad the Wet Sprocket, "Crazy Life" will always be my favorite by them.
Crazy Life is one of my top two or three Toad songs. I've played it live many times.
