Alright friends, it's time to pull out those flannels, grow your hair long, and enjoy some Excellent Adventures. It's been fun these last couple of weeks reminiscing with my friends John, Levi, and Dana about their favorite 90's bands. In the spirit of reminiscing I've been looking up some of my favorite bands from the 90's with the help Top 100 lists. Honestly as I look through, I realized that a lot of what I loved wasn't really Top 100, yet I managed to enjoy it any way! :D Below I will list some of my favorite bands of the 90's and a few of the songs that Rock my face off!
