'One Inch Man' - Kyuss
Alongside '..Sky Valley', '...And The Circus Leaves Town' is essential, and still better than most Queens LPs. 

 'We Die Young' - Alice In Chains
From Facelift; which is not a patch on Dirt, but this is a pretty special track and it needs to be played LOUD!


 'Suckerpunch' - The Wildhearts
Fast, furious, still relevant and fresh as the day it was born; there's not a lot around today that sounds like this. 

 'Clean My Wounds' - Corrosion of Conformity
From the superb Deliverance this is one of their most accessible tracks; grimey, low slung and catchy as hell.

 'All in the Mind' - Verve
This was the bands first single, released in 1992.  Never assigned to an album but preceeded the superb and unrecognised 'A Storm in Heaven'.  This is transcending and tremendous; everything their comeback is not.

 'Wish' - Nine Inch Nails
From the extraordinary Broken EP and probably one of their finest tracks.  

 'Send Me Your Money' - Suicidal Tendencies
Heavy, funky, funny and still fresh after all  these years

 'Esse Quam Videri' - Mordred
From In This Life, you've got to love this danceable winner. Three minutes of funk, solos  and the best rap we've heard in years.

 'Tommy the Cat' - Primus
Taken from '..the Seas of Cheese', this is quality and totally unique. 

 '5 Minutes Alone' - Pantera
The best track from Far Beyond Driven and a cracking video.

 'The Overly Dramatic Truth' - El-P
Taken from hip-hops Downward Spiral, this is white rap at its best. Engaging, melodic, heavy and memorable

 'Debonair' - The Afghan Whigs
From probably their best LP Gentlemen back in the early '90s, this was the first single and still, a superb piece of alternative songwriting.

 'Jesus Christ Pose' - Soundgarden
Having recently announced their comeback,this is what they have to live up to.  Please don't destroy such a legacy. 

 'Punk It Up' - Infectious Grooves
Taken from the Suicidal, Jane's Addiction side project debut; this is just funky.  We like funky; plus it's features Stephen Perkins on drums and Rob Trujillio on bass. 

 'Anywhere But Here' - Raging Slab
Bit of an unknown this one, but all the better for it.  Taken from their Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert, a vital 'slab'..ahem... of southern fried rock.

 'I Am One' - Smashing Pumpkins
From the seminal debut, this was the Pumpkins at their most indie and alternative.  We'd forgotten how good this is.

 'Mall Monarchy' - Compulsion
Taken from Comforter, this was punk rock with angst (and a bad video).  Quality nonetheless. 

 'Save Me' - The Tea Party
This guy could be the ghost of Jim Morrison.  A slow and brooding piece of canadian rock from the '90s that if given the chance, will have you diving for that repeat button. 

 'Alec Eiffel' - Pixies
From Trompe le Monde, one of many tracks that help remind you how great they really were.

 'Four Walled World' - Temple of the Dog
Like on Jesus Christ Pose, this was Cornell at his resplendent best.  From one of the seminal side projects to come out of Seattle, this is one of our favourites.

 'Touch Me I'm Sick' - Mudhoney
From Superfuzz Bigmuff this is raw garage rock that launched a scene and a generation.  Still immense and highly enjoyable.

 'From Out of Nowhere' - Faith No More
Taken from The Real Thing, what can you say about FNM that hasn't already been said a million times.
