Memorial Day Weekend Countdown- Bonus Edition. Best Alternative/KROQ/Live 105 songs from ‘90 to ‘93. Many wondered why I started yesterday’s countdown at ‘94. Largely, because the songs from the 4 years earlier would’ve dominated the list. But here comes a bonus look at 90-94🎸🍺

98. EMF- Unbelievable
97. Proclaimers- I’m Gonna Be

To me, it can’t be Memorial Day Weekend without a Music Countdown. So I’ve created my own-the Top 200 KROQ-style Alternative Rock Songs since 1994. I figured ‘94 is half my lifetime & arguably when the current alt sound was born. So spark up the bbq, make your playlists & enjoy🎸

198. Sublime- The Wrong Way
197. Garbage- Stupid Girl
196. Rancid- Ruby Soho
195. Mighty Mighty Bosstones- Impression that I Get
194. Sugar Ray- Fly
193. Fratellis- Chelsea Dagger
