Udiscoveredmusic - 100 Of The Best 90s Alternative Songs: When The Underground Went Mainstream

Lists by single critics or musicians, published in magazines or on websites, have lower priority. The amount of such lists would be impossible to handle.
(However, priority is given to single author lists from books, very famous music critics and artists with albums or songs ranked on Acclaimed Music. Single author lists are also more likely to get priority if they are not limited to a genre or artist.)

It seems a personal list. If would be a list made by at least 3 could be added.

I do find it confusing sometimes, it does indeed look like a single writer, yet I thought "but it looks a lot like a website instead than a blog".

One reason why I went ahead and post it is because there has been post threads from Udiscovermusic before. One has been positively received: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/vi ... ic#p143350 :?

and the other one has been posted by no other than dear StevieFan13 4 years ago, which had a Henrik stamp approval comment response: http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/vi ... 930#p82930 :(

That list was, in fact, by multiple writers. Not a ton of those.

Oh whoops, that's true. I thought it's the same one writer using the "we" plural in their site. :o
