SHINE!!!
Gosh, all three of my votes would go towards that song if they could, but, I ended up voting for the Alice n Chains and the Tom Petty tracks as well.

I voted for Shine, No Excuses and Black Hole Sun. I think this is the last year Tom Petty had a number 1 Mainstream Rock track as well. I did not realize how prolific he was for such a long time.

Yeah, Tom Petty really is one of my favorites. He and the Heartbreakers made some great music.

No Excuses, Black Hole Sun, Interstate Love Song.

No Excuses, Black Hole Sun and You Don't Know How it Feels.

Mason and I are stickin' to our Petty.

Sorry Connor, but I went with Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and STP this year.


But I am trying to have all of those, plus Tom Petty break
Because I love all four of those song!

This was a tough one but I voted for the one I am most familiar with.
