Радиостанция Lithium сервиса SiriusXM подвела итоги масштабного голосования, в котором слушатели выбрали 250 лучших альтернативных и гранж-композиций 1990-х годов. Опрос стартовал 4 июня, а его результаты были представлены в эфире в минувшие выходные во время празднования 250-летия США. Главной неожиданностью рейтинга стала победа Foo Fighters с песней Everlong, которая сумела опередить один из самых знаковых рок-хитов десятилетия - Smells Like Teen Spirit группы Nirvana.
Топ-10 лучших песен 90-х по версии слушателей SiriusXM Lithium:
- Foo Fighters - Everlong
- Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
- Beastie Boys - Sabotage
- The Cranberries - Zombie
- Alice In Chains - Would?
- Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
- Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name
- Pearl Jam - Black
- Alice In Chains - Man In The Box
- Radiohead - Creep
В итоговый список вошли практически все ключевые представители альтернативной сцены 90-х, однако некоторые коллективы получили особенно внушительное представительство.
- Alice In Chains - 11 песен
- Pearl Jam - 11 песен
- Soundgarden - 8 песен
- Nirvana - 8 песен
- The Smashing Pumpkins - 8 песен
- Stone Temple Pilots - 8 песен
- Foo Fighters - 4 песни (две из них в первой сотне)
Несмотря на ориентацию списка на альтернативный рок и гранж, в него вошло немало тяжелых композиций:
- Korn - Freak On A Leash (#65), Got The Life (#170)
- Tool - Sober (#53), Forty Six & Two (#84), Ænema (#156), Stinkfist (#182)
- Nine Inch Nails - сразу шесть песен, включая Closer (#20) и Hurt (#88)
- White Zombie - More Human Than Human (#143), Thunder Kiss '65 (#189)
- Rob Zombie - Dragula (#225)
- Helmet - Unsung (#162)
- Faith No More - Epic (#38)
- Primus - Jerry Was A Race Car Driver (#235)
Пользователи Reddit, обсуждавшие рейтинг после его публикации, обратили внимание на несколько неожиданных моментов. Многие удивились тому, что Everlong смогла обойти Smells Like Teen Spirit, которую традиционно считают главным альтернативным гимном 90-х. Кроме того, некоторые поклонники отметили относительно низкие позиции Tool, Korn и Мэрилина Мэнсона, а также отсутствие в списке ряда культовых композиций эпохи. Тем не менее рейтинг хорошо отражает вкусы аудитории SiriusXM Lithium, где уже много лет звучит классика альтернативного рока, гранжа, индастриала и ню-метала 1990-х годов.
