Top Twenty Songs : Rearviewmirror
Time for a bit more rock :
This was a bit of a tough choice. I didn't want Seattle saturation in this list, so I've had to axe 'Touch Me I'm Sick' by Mudhoney, 'We Die Young' by Alice In Chains, 'Hunger Strike' by Temple Of The Dog, and probably more I haven't even thought of. It also just pips 'Jesus Christ Pose' by Soundgarden, which was firmly in the top twenty until some eleventh hour capriciousness (or caprice, if you insist on brevity).
I saw Pearl Jam in the Cardiff International Arena. It was very busy and hot, and there was no air conditioning. Every time they played a more upbeat number, the exhausted crowd attempted to give it some, usually seeing the first chorus out, and then gave up. We cherished the slower songs, and telepathically pleaded with the security to douse us with cooling fluid. Or, y'know, just chuck cups of water.
