27. Leave Me Alone - Jerry Cantrell
Not too shabby. I might have probably put this one lower on Alt list, but sounded fierce enough on this list of Rock songs.

oh

that riff is infectious

Though I do like this, genuinely...this does leave me with just one bottom half ranking now.

If only that bottom half would hurry up and show itself already.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Natural One has grown on me from the Alt RD. I would've put it top 10 here, but it's sounds out of place on a mainstream rock rankdown.

[Daryl the Beryl]

^ and Bangwave ranking it at 11 again because "One". How surprising.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

26. Natural One - Folk Implosion
I didn't know how this squirmed it s way onto Active Rock format? It's not awful, but sounds really off next to AC/DC and Metallica.

Let's see what I missed earlier. You guys are really making me suffer with my last couple of bottom tank dwellars. 

40. Angels of the Silences - Counting Crows
Perfectly suited for Alternative. This song is fast and loud and sounded pretty good among this list.

39. Bittersweet Me - R.E.M.
Eons better than x-mas bow music. They have even better songs coming up on the next Alt rank down.

38. Perry Mason - Ozzy Osbourne
I love this song! Ozzy did great in the 90's. Songs like this and "Mr. Tinkertrain" really had my hopes up for Metal in the 90's.

37. Promise - Victor
I didn't even recall this song. Geddy Lee Rush is better. "Ghost Of A Chance" was stellar.

36. Wax Ecstatic (To Sell Angelina) - Sponge
Missed my Top 10 by a hair. If you guys don't let Angelina in the top 20 -I can just imagine what you do to a song about Molly Ringwald.

35. Open Up Your Eyes - Tonic
I have never been impressed with this band in the least.

34. Aneurysm (Live) - Nirvana
The song's title explains what I experienced listening to live Kurt Cobain. Only reason this moves up to my #99 is because of the travesty at my #100.

33. Drown - Son Volt
Not bad. If I put this a little higher its because of the "cow bell".

32. I Got Id - Pearl Jam
Another band who gets better in the past. If you can sit through the first minute of this song it gets melodically better. His vocals actually hold the notes in the chorus. I like that.

[Daryl the Beryl]

I'm the only one with my top 10 intact, but watch like half of it get Thanos-ed in the next set lmao.

It's not in my top 10, but part of me hopes my #12 makes the top 10.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

* #1 on closest to year end Active list

* dead last on closest to PULSE

mission accomplished  ;)
