Comment:

The final disc in a five-disc set. My version of VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years." The countdown is backwards ("London Calling" is #1). "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a cliched choice, but it's a cliche for a reason, I suppose.

Great finale to an impressive series. I'm surprised by how many of these I agree on; good to see the Pavement and NMH tracks getting their due here. I'd probably get some Sleater-Kinney up here ("Little Babies" or "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone"), might opt for a different Husker Du track ("Divide & Conquer" or "Terms of Psychic Warfare" perhaps?), and would probably yank the Weezer track, but this is really beyond reproach. Nice job.
