I voted for No Rain, Are You Gonna Go My Way and Daughter

I went with Daughter by Pearl Jam and Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty. I couldn't find a third song to suit a vote. :/

I went with Plush, Are You Gonna Go My Way, and Mary Jane's Last Dance.


Now is it just me, but as I was watching the Stick it Out video for Rush, but does it not look and sound like a mix of Alice in Chains and Rush?

I was going to vote Mary Jane's Last Dance but I don't want finals to turn into THE TOM PETTY SHOW plus 3 or 4 other songs lol

Hahaha, I can see that, too.

That song, though...not good. Rush wasn't churning out the best tunes around this time.

Lol, I have to agree on Cjanz's Rush statement. But it looks like for the next few years we should be getting some quality music. The next 3 should be better than the last 3. :S

I think this year was pretty decent, better than last year for sure.

But after the '90s.....I am expecting more polls of 6 to 9 votes again.

I don't even know what I'm going to vote for post-99 lol

Well, there is always Creed, Velvet Revolver, and Audioslave

Mother Effin CREED! ha

If I have to vote for Creed...

You always have to vote for creed!

Please vote if you haven't! There is no Creed on this poll!

One more reminder! Please vote if you haven't! Not much time to spare!

cryin, living on the edge,stand up(kick love into motion)

And with that vote Adan, Lenny takes the lead!

Ugh..of all the Lenny songs to choose...

What? I personally think that is one of his best songs.
