classic rock songs<\/a> from the 1990s that just make us feel good.<\/p>\n\u201cTwo Princes\u201d by Spin Doctors from \u2018Pocket Full Of Kryptonite\u2019 (1993)<\/p>\n
While the West Coast in the mid-90s was overflowing with grunge music that highlighted the depressing side of life, from rainy days to drug addiction, there were bands on the East Coast that were basking in more of the sunshine that life had to offer. Example: Spin Doctors. The New York City (via Princeton, New Jersey) band broke out in 1993 thanks to their debut LP, Pocket Full Of Kryptonite, which featured the goofy, fun rock hits \u201cLittle Miss Can\u2019t Be Wrong\u201d and \u201cTwo Princes\u201d. Both songs you still hear today\u2014why? Because they simply induce so many grins!<\/p>\n
\u201cWarehouse\u201d by Dave Matthews Band from \u2018Under The Table And Dreaming\u2019 (1994)<\/p>\n
Virginia-born jam band Dave Matthews Band released their debut studio LP, Under The Table And Dreaming, in 1994. And with it came a slew of now-classic songs from the group, from \u201cAnts Marching\u201d to \u201cSatellite\u201d. But one of the songs that is both most fun to hear on that album and to hear in concert these days is the tune, \u201cWarehouse\u201d, an epic offering that can sometimes extend for a dozen or more minutes in a live setting. And when paired back to back with the DMB song \u201cDancing Nancies\u201d, with one song bleeding into the next, it\u2019s chef\u2019s kiss.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I Come Around\u201d by Green Day from \u2018Dookie\u2019 (1995)<\/p>\n
The California-born pop punk band wrote a lot of hit songs in the 90s that were both rambunctious and riveting. Their songs were often combinations of three-chord rollicks and introspective dalliances. But while some of their music could be very cerebral, some of it could also simply just be fun. And that\u2019s where this track, \u201cWhen I Come Around\u201d, which is from the band\u2019s famed LP, Dookie, comes in. It\u2019s loud and it\u2019s confident. The song\u2019s chest is definitely pushed out. It makes you want to hear it again and again. Indeed, you want the song to come around as often as possible!<\/p>\n
