10 rock songs that turn 25 years old in 2019

Have these songs aged well?

As with all popular music, some stuff ages well while others are permanent fixtures of the time they were recorded in.

Almost everything that Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains did transcends the '90s, no question. You take just about any song any of those bands, release it today, and it would sound fresh. Their '94 releases have aged very well.

Everything that Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Green Day did back in the '90s stays there. That's classic rock now and not fresh. Whether they've aged well is debatable.

For the others (Candlebox, Collective Soul, Cracker, Meat Puppets), their '94 songs are also fixtures of the year they were released and have not aged well. Still groovy to some, but mostly just to people who grew up in the '90s.
