Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
History is my major. I know dates!

Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz
The grunge stuff is all so basic and tame. Not my bag, baby. Pumpkins have the most groove to them of all on the list.
Nirvana - awful musicians. Right place, right time.
Just my opinion.

Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
Elvis couldn’t play guitar or write songs. Being a technically proficient musician is overrated.

Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
I think Weezer shone brightly through 2 albums, and same for the Pumkins (the second LP is bloated but has classic songs).

Bass guitar counts

TIL Are you Gonna Go My Way and Mary Jane's Last Dance were written the same year and it roasted my brain stem.

Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz
He could sing and dance. Talent.
I'm not asking for Rush or Dream Theater. I don't like those bands. The Nirvana stuff is garage-band level. I guess people like Cobain's lyrics. I need more than that.

Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
Cobain was a great songwriter and had a great vocal style for the type of music being conveyed. I don't care if they were a garage, punk band. Those guitars on - simple as they are - are kick ass and memorable.

All Apologies - Nirvana
Ni, the poll was about one thing. The main riff. All Apologies has a great one. Simple. It's understandable if you like one of the others better or think mine if them have a good riff. You pounding the table about what is or isn't good music or which bands you like is really off topic though.
VH can't be choices 1-5 in every pole.

Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz
To simplify my opinion, the riff in All Apologies is so basic that I would never have even thought to call it a riff. I'm not talking about Eddie level solos.
To me, it is jarring to listen to the riffs on this year's list and then compare to stuff from the late-60's / early-70's.
Sad to see how far rock music has fallen.
