Sorry, Kurt Kobain died and the rest of the Grunge era committed suicide by the mid to late 90s. But hey, it counts since their debut was released in 1989.

the date of that recording was in 89. go away.

I meant as part of the 70s/80s choices. That song was one of their more aggressive.

Half of it is mainstream, I put many mainstream songs here because I figured most "rock fans" (posers) who got addicted to Guitar Hero weren't too interested in the non-popular songs or bands, so they just go for their most popular tune. For Black Sabbath, Paranoid is something that I don't care too much for, when you have songs like Children of The Grave, Neon Knights, Heaven And Hell, Electric Funeral, NIB, Sweet Leaf, Hand of Doom, etc.

For Van Halen, hey, atleast I didn't pick Jump! I could've maybe chosen Hot For Teacher over Panama but oh well. Actually, I pretty much prefer Van Halen's DEBUT album over anything else by them IMO, with songs like Runnin' With The Devil, Eruption, or Ain't Talkin' Bout Love. But then again, I figure poser rock fans only know of their more popular songs, so I gave it to them.
can't let those guitar hero bastards TAINT our precious 80s!!!!

Can't not pick Crazy Train.  I don't even like the song, but that's probably one of the most memorable riffs of all time.

Well, Nirvana was one of the, of if not the biggest, reasons that I started playing guitar, so I was glad to see that video posted. School is another good one, and even Breed was out, albeit under a different name, by 89.


So, for me it is probably a close three way tie between that and two Danzig songs, Twist of Cain and Am I Demon.

see i can't understand how anyone could like danzig and nirvana at the same time, unless for nostalgia like ^ mentioned.
it's like hey my favorite composer is tchakovsky but michelle branch is up there too.
not that danzig is some amazing thing but nirvana is one of those bands like green day or something, and it get's held to some standard that it really doesn't deserve! I hate to blame the guy's death for their success but there really is nothing special or original about any of their music!
