Layne Staley, Courtney Love, Anthony Kiedis and David Grohl.ĭoesn’t that take you back? I forgot about half of these songs, so what’s great about Lithium putting together this list is reminding us of the great music that came out 25 years ago. Not to mention the names that came out during that decade: Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell and Billy Corgan.

It’s the usual suspects in Nirvana (6), Foo Fighters (5), Pearl Jam (5), Red Hot Chili Peppers (5), Smashing Pumpkins (5), and Stone Temple Pilots (5) while Alice in Chains, Bush, Green Day and Soundgarden all had four songs on the list. Six bands dominated with five or more songs on the list. Presidents Of The United States Of America Top 100 Alternative Songs of the 90s Rank
