To avoid decimals, 10=Best, 1=Worst. If that is too confusing, divide my score by 2. n/a means I don't know the song and these are just my score/opinions only.
1. Nirvana "Come As You Are" 8
2. Soundgarden "Spoonman" 4-probably the worst SG song that got regular airplay and they are my 3rd fav band.
3. Alice in Chains "Would" 10
4. Pearl Jam "Jeremy" 6
5. Stone Temple Pilots "Sex Type Thing" 9
6. Smashing Punpkins "Bullet With Buttefly Wings" 6, overplayed but SP's best song, which isn't saying much
7. Hole "Violet" 7
8. Green Day "Basket Case" 8
9. The Offspring "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" 8
10. Nine Inch Nails "Closer" 8
11. Veruca Salt "Seether" n/a
12. Faith No More "Falling To Pieces" 10
13. Red Hot Chili Peppers "Suck My Kiss" 6
14. Beastie Boys "Sabotage" 6- This isn't alternative in my book.
15. REM "Losing My Religion" 5- This isn't alternative either.
16. Soul Asylum "Runaway Train" 6
17. Lenny Kravitz "Are You Gonna Go My Way" 7
18. Jane's Addiction "Stop" n/a
19. Weezer "Undone (The Sweater Song)" n/a
20. Sonic Youth "Kool Thing" n/a
21. U2 "The Fly" n/a and I don't consider U2 alternative.
22. Toad The Wet Sprocket "All I Want" n/a
23. Breeders "Cannonball" n/a
24. PJ Harvey "Down By The Water" n/a
25. Beck "Devils Haricut" 7

9. The Offspring "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)"5.....good song, funny azz video, don't forget their song "Come out and play"
