Comment:

This is the first in a series charting this very broad-ranging style of music we have all come to know as 'alternative'. I'm gonna mail Avril Lavigne, Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback and other so called 'alternative' piss-artists a copy. This shit is the real deal. Be warned, the Music Police have been notified and will prosecute....

Great mix. As a former Minnesotan, it's always nice to see the 'Mats and Husker Du on a disk.
