## Resource

Step back into 1994, when flannel ruled, guitars were loud, and alternative rock officially took over the mainstream. In this episode, we dive into the biggest alternative hits of the year and build our ultimate draft—stacked with iconic bands, unforgettable hooks, and just the right amount of angst. From grunge heavyweights to breakout alt-rock anthems, we revisit the songs that lived in your Discman, dominated MTV, and still hit just as hard today. Along the way, we share memories and debate what truly deserves a spot on the ultimate ’94 playlist. Whether you were there the first time or just discovering it now, this is your time capsule to one of the greatest years in alternative music history.
