Win, even though you got the date (and genre) wrong (it's 1989 [alt. rock, mang]) and it's the worst song off the album. Oh well.

I forgot I still had that labeled as final guitar.

I'm a man who will admit his past mistakes.
1: Nirvana? Probably grunge. I'm not the one to ask, really. When it's your favourite band ever, they sound so unlike anything else because you know their discography like you know your own house. There's a reason why I don't list genres on this sort of thing any more, because idiots like past me will never agree with anyone.

2: Love Buzz? DEFINITELY not the worst song on Bleach. That title belongs to Floyd the Barber. Love Buzz is still in the lower half, though (but it's a good choice for a Rock Band game)

But one thing I will never, EVER back down on, even seven years later, is this:
BLEACH CAME OUT IN 1989

I was rereading this list, and that was the exact first thing I noticed. My inner Nirvana fanboy could not let this one go.

1989 was a GREAT year for music, but Bleach is DEFINITELY the-...


...
...
LOVE BUZZ WAS RELEASED AS A SINGLE IN 1988?!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
using the date the single was released is pretty lame tho
