Well friends, after an eight month absence, it’s great to be back again. I wish I could tell you that I was making my way in the world in search of fame and fortune, or, perhaps, that I was engaged in some noble and righteous cause, but the truth is that I simply forget my password. Yeah, I know there’s a thing to click on to reset your password. Believe me, I tried that several times, but never got an email from the board with the link on how to do it. And so, I basically had two choices – create a new username and email address, or keep my old one and enter different passwords until I got it right. I picked the latter, and after many tries (and locking up my account as a result) it finally came to me.

I am Guitar George, and I still don’t know all the chords, but practice makes perfect so there’s always hope. I’ve traded in my lava lamp avatar for a CBGB's one to keep the spirit alive. For those of you who are already familiar with “The Home of Underground Rock”, no explanation is necessary; for those of you who aren’t – no explanation will do. I consider myself a student of music, and song compilations are my thing. I decided to return with a 90’s Playlist. Yeah, I know, I know …. not another 90’s Playlist, sheesh ! I get it, alright ? I get it. But this one comes with pictures ! Some songs are obvious, some aren’t, and some you would rather forget, but they all got air time on Modern Rock radio and/or MTV back in the day, so let’s get to it.

Where to start ? Well, if I were a VH1 count down, I’d make you sit through ten freakin’ hours of programming and commercials to reach this point, but I say let’s start with the elephant in the room shall we ?

1. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana from "Nevermind" (1991).

What can I say or add about this song that you haven’t already heard a bazillion times over ? Let’s just call it what it was – the death knell of 80’s music. The times, they were a changing, folks … and it all began on September 29, 1991 when the video premiered on MTV, and the rest, as they say, was history. Here's nine more to whet the ol' appetite:

10. "3:00 AM" by Matchbox 20 from "Yourself Or Someone Like You" (1996).

Swing became a "thing" in the 90's with bands like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy & Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Even Stray Cat Brian Setzer got in on it ! I'm not quite sure why it got so much airplay on my Alternative Rock station, but all I can say is "a gin and tonic sounds mighty, mighty good to me !"
