After Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Dave Grohl, Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac and Queens of the Stone Age were cut short during their incredible live performance at the 2014 Grammys Jan. 26, I felt inspired to create a playlist that pays tribute to an iconic era in music history. With the ’90s came the glorious rebirth of rock music. Alternative rock and grunge were born, and bands like Nirvana, Mudhoney and Chicago’s own Smashing Pumpkins overpowered airwaves. Even today, the sounds of this decade in musical history still reverberate on the radio waves.
