Smells Like Teen Spirt - Nirvana (Nevermind)
great year for music
GNR, Metallica, and Ozzy all had yuge albums
Bill hated how grunge killed hair metal 30 years ago, but later appreciated it.

I'm a bigger fan of No Reply than your average Beatles fan. I think it's a great mood setter for the album. Too bad the album didn't quite stay on course. About 4 killers and too many fillers.

Rusty Cage - Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
It's a good song that I've like since I first bought the cassette tape of Beatles for Sale in 1989. Just don't think it's on par with their other lead off tracks.
I'm a Loser and Baby's in Black are the standout tracks on that album. I Don't Want to Spoil the Party is an underrated deep track.

Not nearly the murderers row of the 1969 poll.
There are 4 songs in this poll that I either hate (REM), like but not OMG, I gotta hear it (Bonnie Raitt) or don’t even recognize (Valentine and Smashing Pumpkins songs).
Teen Spirit to me is the song on this list that I know exactly when and where I first heard it or in my case, first saw it on MTV.
Civil War was great at the time as I was going through a GnR phase which I still remember.
The other 3 songs Once, Say Hello to Heaven and Rusty Cage are great but don’t mark a moment in time as clearly as Teen Spirit. -

Yeah, when I first heard Smells Like Teen Spirit, it was like "OK … OK … OK!"
After the crapfest that was the 80's, it was more than welcome.
