These were the Top 10 songs of the year from the first year Alternative radio was really widespread - 1994 - IMO these are some classic songs...which one is your favorite?

Excellent poll man. This was definitely one of the best years for the format. I'll rank them like this:
1. Selling the Drama 2. Interstate Love Song 3. Basket Case 4. Zombie 5. Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm 6. Black Hole Sun 7. Longview 8. Loser
I don't think I know the other two.

No, he answered #10. I said which of the top 9, because I know he loves that song.

^He never votes for some reason.
I'm glad to see that both you and DJ had "Selling the Drama" in your top 2. It's one of my favorite songs ever, along with "Interstate Love Song". For some reason, I can't believe that it was "Plush" that gave STP their biggest hit on CHR. I actually like it better, but it's pretty heavy to reach #12. This, though, had crossover written all over it imo.

Yeah most stations actually played the acoustic version of Plush (think it was off MTV Unplugged) I forgot about that version, but that makes sense. I remember the Hot AC from Winchester, WINC, playing the heavier version of the song around 2005.

Most of them are replayed on Alternative even today- for some reason the Crash Test Dummies aren't though, even though that was such an epic song My station has this running gag going about not playing Crash Test Dummies. WWDC, they do this thing weekdays at 5:30 called "Doo Doo Time Spectacular" where they play forgotten songs. People have been asking for "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" since around June 2009. They still tease playing it.
