well i'm primarily going to stick with the 90s but i'm totally down with the idea. you looking specifically for American musicians? what about those who had influence stateside? (thinking Wonderwall).

either way, first contenders based on this bit - "for those of us who lived then, this is the best of what we produced." mixed with a healthy dose of 'something everyone should know'

RHCP - Under the Bridge
Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
Soundgarden - Spoonman
Faith no More - Last Cup of Sorrow
Jane's Addiction - Jane Says
Nirvana - Lithium
QOTSA - Go with the Flow


these aren't necessarily my favourite tracks by the respective artists but in terms of what i think the songbook idea embodies i believe they fit the bill.
