Give both of your lists.

There should be two lists. One for the Rock music and the other for club music. In the 90's the club music really stood up IMO.

Nirvana - Come As You Are
Finger Eleven - Feels Like the First Time
Offspring - Gotta Get Away
Everlast - What It's Like
Blink 182 - What's My Age Again?
Finger Eleven - Circles
Green Day - Basketcase
Twiztid - Rock the Dead


plus others I can't remember right now! :rolleyes: :p :blush:

The 90s sucked.

My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes
Pixies - Dig for Fire
Lemonheads - Shame about Ray
Manic Street Preachers - My Little Empire
