✅ SiriusXM Lithium (USA) - Lithium's Top 100 (2017)

Post by StevieFan13 »

SiriusXM's Lithium station, which is all about grunge and alt-rock in the '90s, did a list of the best grunge/alternative songs of the decade. Their selection process was as follows:
Narrowing down a decade’s worth of music to a list of 100 was a great deal easier than one would think. It only required two teams of experts, working 1,700 miles apart. The first team consisted of 9 of the world’s top alternative and grunge music experts locked in a conference room in the former Kmart World Headquarters in Troy, MI. These musicologists needed only 3 weeks to compile a list of songs they felt deserving of being on the Lithium Top 100.

But in what order? That’s where the second team began their work, in a laboratory built nearly a quarter mile beneath the surface of a nondescript patch of New Mexico desert. There, 17 rogue scientists used math, Bunsen burners and a particle accelerator to determine what song was truly number 1, and which one was 2. And 3. And so on.

So, enjoy! And give a silent nod to the brave men and women who gave so much to give you the definitive, undeniable and absolute Lithium Top 100 Countdown. Unless you don’t agree with the list, in which case, blame Twitter and Facebook.
Checking their Facebook page, it doesn't appear to be a listener's list. The link to the full list can be found here:

I had asked Henrik whether or not I should post anymore lists, but I haven't received a response, so I'll just post what few I have left and he can decide whether or not he wants to include them in this update or the next one.
