I'm still busy tabulating (the 1999 Super Deluxe has me overawed so I have been slack lately), so I haven't closed this poll yet!

I find it impossible to list Gin Blossom's "Hey Jealousy" in the 1989 poll since I associate it with all the alt-rock 1990's songs that made it big after Nirvana opened the floodgates. The 1992 New Miserable Experience re-recording should have been the one used in the AM list and not the original 1989 recording.
