While I'd love to have voted for L7 and Screaming Trees (both good songs) for some diversity, "Rooster" and "Daughter" are just too strong.

When I was 16 I thought Rooster was about chickenshit crank(which was some of the best crank on the market at that time).

Tough matchups today.  Love "River of Deceit" though, had to go with it.  And "Jeremy" narrowly edged out "Dead and Bloated" for me.

And for anybody who's interested, an ode to the first 2 eliminated songs.

A relative of Cantrell's (Father or Grandfather) I believe.

I'm not sure if it actually is or not, but due to a friend of mine changing one line in the song, I'm convinced No Excuses is about getting caught masterbating.
