I can’t vote here until I hear from TB and his useless knowledge of 90’s music.

@HellToupee - 

 

The tribe has spoken. Please bring me your torch. 

[Ron_Artest 2,124]

HT had a good draft.  With his last pick he took World Party - Is It Like Today?  I have never heard of this song, or this band, so I listened to it, and it was probably the worst song I ever heard, next to Chinese Food by Alison Gold.  For that, he must leave.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,514]

imo CMH should be eliminated simply for the fact he has a Tom Petty song in an alternative 90's list

You missed out on some good ones from the 90's then and give them a listen. These songs was hit's for those bands. I thought every one that lived in the 90's had to hear No Rain more than a few times.

Well it was alternative to Shania Twain. 

[cmh6476 1,105]

The wallflowers album wasn't classic rock.   Folk? Americana? Maybe.   But it was alternative to the traditional music you heard from petty with the heartbreakers
