Nirvana seemed to win all these contests for a while. I think there has been a bit of a backlash against them lately: people just got bored of them winning every time.

Some of the pop released around the tail end of the 90's and into the early 00's was woefully bad. And rock had moved on from alternative/grunge into the likes of nu-metal - and became stupider, broader, more juvenile.

It's interesting that every song here apart from RHCP and Radiohead is pre 95

I had no knowledge of early 90s music until I was in my 20s, born mid 80s but I also love a lot of the early 2000 "rock" like Blink 182 and Linkin Park which I was aware of as it was released. The discovery of Pearl Jam in 2006 was a revelation music wise for me

Rock music in general seems to do quite well here. A greatest rock song tournament would be awesome
