Since I screwed up number 7 decade wise, I shall give the answer : The Song is " The Real Thing " off of Faith No More's album titled " The Real Thing ". The other 9 are up to you.

#3 is Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden.  I love this band and usually Cornell's lyrics, but that line is just stupid (IMO).

Correct. I agree, but would rather hear this line than anything from say " Spoonman " :)

" Save me". This is possibly the worst Soungarden song that got regular airplay.

I agree.  I'd recommend "Slaves and Bulldozers" to anyone who'd like to hear some great Soundgarden.

I like the VOCALS on that tune, but not the LYRICS that much.

Well, as a single song recommendation from Soundgarden I'd have to go with " Outshined " or " Burden In My Hand ". Even " Sunshower " for Chris Cornell's softer side. :)

You got me on that one, I didn't recognize that Soundgarden song untill I listened to it ( right after " Outshined " on Badmotorfinger ).

Sometimes a single note or word will stick in my head on a song. In " Outshined " when Chris Cornell hits that line " Still I feel I'm sinking " the way he carries the word " sinking " is awesome. Also the trademark grunge/alternative vocal inflections, carrying /stretching syllables and ooh's, yeahs, and mmmm's make this song my personal favorite.

Must say as an album I like "Down On The Upside" better than the others ( I even like " Ty Cobb " ( Hot Rod Death Toll ) ). :)

Now, I LOVE the lyrics of Slaves & Bulldozers.  "Full On Kevin's Mom" from Louder than Love are some silly lyrics, but I still like it.

Fine, I did not answer this one before because I figured I would let other people get it since there were not many lyrics on this quiz.  But it seems no one wants it.

6.) "Am I Inside" by Alice In Chains (atleast I believe that was the name of the song)

I am listening to Song 5 on your list there right now.

Correct*. I figured this would be the hardest of all the questions.* The only AIC member  in this band was Layne Staley and this was Mad Season's only CD.
