#195 - Spin Doctors - Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
The 90s were a pretty good time to be into alt rock. The good stuff was real good, and even the stuff that didn't really last, like this band, were pretty good too. This remains a favorite.

I love "Little Miss". Got that funk rock I dig like Scatterbrain, Royal Crescent Mob, Living Color, 24/7 Spyz, and late 80s Chili Peppers.
One of their later tracks, "You let your heart go to fast" was an enjoyable one. Top 300 (no I won't be posting it!)
#194 - Little River Band - Lonesome Loser
One of those bands you can't help but get into despite maybe not being into the genre. Also heard a lot in my youth, so it just kind of stuck with me growing up.
And there will be one more appearance by this band in the countdown.

I remember hearing this as a young kid and thinking, 'Why would someone write a song about this? How sad!'.
It’s kinda funny that The Cure became one of your favorite bands.
I've been listening to the EVH tribute channel on SXM quite a bit over the last few days.
There's some good tracks I haven't heard in a long time.
Check this song out at the 4:40 mark.
It was released 3 years before Eruption.....

Isn't it?!?!?!
I know that Ed get credit for inventing the tapping in popular culture, but guitarists (especially jazz cats) know it goes back much earlier. Django Reinhardt was someone that I've heard was doing that kind of thing.
The crazy part about Eruption is that it even has the same effects as Hierophant.

I think while many think Eddie created that technique, it's more accurate to say he popularized it and built on it.
#192 - Icicle Works - Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)
A nice little one-hit wonder from the 80's. Always did like the drum work on this song.

Indeed. He made it accessible and cool. Even though the Hackett song is a few years older and sounds exactly the same, it ain't the kind of music that woulda helped a guy in the 70's get laid.
