Leaving Here but no I've Got a Feeling or Sonic Reducer?

I can understand Sonic Reducer, being a fan club track, but IGAF is a legit b-side.

that's a fan club single and an unreleased demo. Leaving Here was on the Home Alive cd, back in the era when you bought these stupid comps because a band you liked had a song on it

I love Mellow Gold, but Beck wasn't grunge at all.

It was played on the same stations, but so was Jane's Addiction, Live, RHCP, Matalica, Collective Soul, and so on. Mellow Gold is folk, blues, and a little hip hop.

Toadies and Tripping Daisy should be included...

definitely Rubberneck, Bill, and Elastic Firecracker...

not adding these would be a travesty!
