Do you feel deflated every time you turn on a current pop or rock radio station? Me too. In recent years, music has taken an unfortunate dive into meaningless mush. Don’t fret, Millennials. It was not always this way. Here is a list of songs jam-packed with angst, melodic lyrics, hopeless romanticism and all things, well, grunge. From a time when musicians wrote music and sang with voices unaltered by anything but chemicals, here are seven songs celebrating music's last grand moments.

1. Heavy - Collective Soul

The title says it all: HEAVY

2. Walk on the Ocean - Toad the Wet Sprocket

Get your flannel on, get emotionally involved with a lesser known overseas political atrocity, and don't wash your hair for at least a week before listening to this song.

3. In the Meantime - Spacehog

For your dose of British Alt Rock.

4. Tomorrow - Silverchair

Like most songs from the generation I affectionately call "The Whatever, Nevermind Era" the lyrics are convoluted. But we all can relate to them anyway, right?

5. No Rain - Blind Melon

Encapsulating the weirdness that the 90's truly was.

6. Cannonball - The Breeders

From a time when "angry white female" really meant something.

7. Head Over Feet - Alanis Morissette

Well, Alanis Morissette is God, after all. Is any further explanation necessary?

8. My Name is Mud - Primus

Two words; one name: Les [expletive deleted] Claypool.

9. Far Behind - Candlebox

A great song for lighting candles, wearing beat up Dr. Martens, and writing "Meat is Murder" on your high school notebook.

10. Hunger Strike - Temple of the Dog

Little known fact: this song was the first time Eddie Vedder heard his voice recorded. How's that for 90's trivia?

11. The Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana

Only Nirvana can cover an unplugged version of a David Bowie song and change acoustic sets forever.
