Here are my favorites from their list. And some of my personal thoughts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dig &#8211; &#8220;Believe&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Whale &#8211; &#8220;Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Catherine Wheel &#8211; &#8220;Waydown&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Green Apple Quick Step &#8211; \u201cLos Vargos\u201d &#8211;\u00a0 Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard produced their second album in October 1994. Can&#8217;t imagine how I got into these guys&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>K\u2019s Choice &#8211; \u201cNot an Addict\u201d One of my favorite K&#8217;s Choice songs is &#8220;Iron Flower&#8221;. Amazing.<\/li>\n<li>Juliana Hatfield Three &#8211; &#8220;My Sister&#8221; is the good song&#8230; not Juliana Hatfield&#8217;s &#8220;Universal Heartbeat&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Poe &#8211; &#8220;Angry Johnny&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Joydrop &#8211; &#8220;Beautiful&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Frente &#8211; &#8220;Labor of Love&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Hum &#8211; &#8220;Stars&#8221; &#8211; If you know me, you know I&#8217;ve never stopped listening to this song or this band. In fact, there are long stretches where Hum is the only band I listen to.<\/li>\n<li>The Posies &#8211; &#8220;Dream all Day&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Belly &#8211; &#8220;Now They&#8217;ll Sleep&#8221; Or any Belly song! &#8220;Dusted&#8221;, &#8220;Superconnected&#8221;, and of course &#8220;Feed the Tree&#8221;. And Tanya Donnelly&#8217;s solo stuff is pretty good, too.<\/li>\n<li>Luscious Jackson &#8211; \u201cNaked Eye\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The Sundays &#8211; \u201cHere\u2019s Where the Story Ends\u201d Or, you know, anything by the Sundays.<\/li>\n<li>Sloan- &#8220;Underwhelmed&#8221;? Listen to &#8220;Stove\/Smother&#8221; instead: http:\/\/vimeo.com\/42479075 Please. It&#8217;s pretty awesome.<\/li>\n<li>Civ &#8211;\u00a0 \u201cCan\u2019t Wait One Minute More\u201d Okay, this one I had completely forgotten about.<\/li>\n<li>Stereo MC\u2019s &#8211; \u201cConnected\u201d It&#8217;s one of those songs that I could never remember the artist. An &#8220;oh yeah&#8221; song.<\/li>\n<li>The Farm &#8211; \u201cGroovy Train\u201d Haha, this one kind of makes me laugh.<\/li>\n<li>Our Lady Peace &#8211; \u201c4am\u201d Seriously, OLP is on here? First, this song makes me cry. Like Radiohead&#8217;s &#8220;Fake Plastic Trees&#8221; and &#8220;High and Dry&#8221;. Any musical education is incomplete without frequent and repeated exposure to both bands.<\/li>\n<li>Veruca Salt &#8211; \u201cNumber One Blind\u201d Ahh! They&#8217;re trying to kill me here. Another band I listen to regularly. And by the way, this album (&#8220;American Thighs&#8221;) is a gem all the way through, as is &#8220;Eight Arms to Hold You&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Letters to Cleo &#8211; \u201cHere and Now\u201d I was WONDERING when they were going to mention this one! LOVE LOVE LOVE<\/li>\n<li>The Rentals &#8211; \u201cFriends of P&#8221; I completely forgot about this one. Wow!<\/li>\n<li>Meat Puppets &#8211; \u201cBackwater\u201d No explanation needed. Their link was broken so here you go: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MxpvsSode0k<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But they missed some. Here are some I came up with off the top of my head. I bet a look at my mp3 collection would reveal a very long list. Ha!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Toadies &#8220;Possum Kingdom&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Spacehog &#8220;In the Meantime&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Butthole Surfers &#8220;Pepper&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Tripping Daisy &#8220;I Got a Girl&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The Flys &#8220;Got You Where I Want You&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The Refreshments &#8220;Banditos&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Monster Magnet &#8220;Space Lord&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Local H &#8220;Bound for the Floor&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The Breeders &#8220;Cannonball&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Cracker. But they have too many songs that you know but don&#8217;t think you know.<\/li>\n<li>Lit &#8220;My Own Worst Enemy&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Eve 6 &#8220;Inside Out&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Spin Doctors &#8220;Two Princes&#8221; and &#8220;Little Miss Can&#8217;t be Wrong&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Deep Blue Something &#8220;Breakfast at Tiffany&#8217;s&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Nada Surf &#8220;Popular&#8221; The rest of their stuff is great. Seriously.<\/li>\n<li>Sponge &#8220;Plowed&#8221; &#8220;Molly&#8221; I love Sponge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What songs can you think of that might be lost in the 90&#8217;s?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I found this buzzfeed article that I couldn&#8217;t look away from.
