Back to my Roots: The 90s


Oh, Brenda Walsh, where art thou? Through a complicated series of conversations with many friends, I decided to create the ultimate 90s ROCK playlist. Though rock is a bit broad as a category, the songs had to be released in the 90s, now more than 2 songs per artists, and the songs needed to be played on the radio- even if it was an "alternative" selection. The entire playlist idea came about from hearing Better than Ezra in the Jeep one day, so I started there.

I had lots of help, but here is the list as of now. I'll update the final song selections soon:

1. Better Than Ezra: Desperately Wanting and Good
