The key to any good song in my mind whether it be rock or anything else is that it has to have a good melody to it and the music has to be something that is timeless and unforgetable, outside of the few standout bands from the era nothing in it will be remembered. The reality is with loud staticy guitar and singers with a sub standard range in general, all it gave me was a headache. Open your throat my friends anything that even had a falsetto in it in the early 90s was a no no. Thats why U2 were so against the norm and I think that had to do with their audience just like they said not many bands could get away with it....its very true.
