2. "Big Brown Eyes," The dB's
3. "Looking At The Sun," Matthew Sweet
4. "No Matter What," Badfinger
5. "Flavor Of the Month," The Posies
6. "Down In Your Dreams," Orange Humble Band
7. "Every Word Means No," Let's Active
8. "Serious Drugs," The Gigolo Aunts
9. "Hey Jealousy," The Gin Blossoms
10. "13" Big Star
with hon. mentions to "Surrender," Cheap Trick; "Too Much Passion," The
Smithereens; "Daylight," The Judybats; "Roll To Me," Del Amitri; "When We're
Alone," Chris Stamey; "Super Tuesday:" The Shazam and "Bubblegum Factory,"
