A little over a year ago, I finished polling all of the #1's on Billboard's Alternative Chart (available here) as well as the songs that peaked at #2 (available here). Time to complete the set and go through all of the songs that went to #3.
So far:
Part 1: The 1980's
Part 2: Pre-Nirvana '90s
Part 3: Nevermind thru Kurt Cobain's Death
Part 4: This page
Coming Soon:
Part 5: The Nu-Metal craze
Part 6: Bush's 2nd term
Part 7: Current era
Without further ado, here are all the songs that peaked at #3 on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart in the mid-'90s (from about 1994 until Limp Bizkit, et al, took over):
