Rock Survey - Shine (Collective Soul)

Artist: Collective Soul

Song:  Shine


Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m0bI82Rz_k

Quick Thoughts:  #1 Album rock song of 1994, featuring guitar with a slight distortion. Having originated in Georgia, Collective Soul performed at Woodstock in 1994, at the time riding the wave of the emerging and maturing grunge scene. The band's name is taken from a line in Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead.  Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins hates this song

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  987
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List9

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
