Oh, and in regards to the OP, I believe the PJ song title you were looking for was "Not for You".

One more for me:
Temple of the Dog - Reach Down
Eight minute guitar solo by Mike McCready! The story goes his headphones fell off right as he began to rip into the solo, and he kept playing the whole thing without hearing the backing music. That's like some Beethoven / deaf composer **** right there.

This conversation begins and ends with Soundagarden's Outshined. There have been a lot of great songs added here, but Outshined is an absolute paint-by-number grunge masterpiece laid out in the early days when the sound was still being fully defined. Alice In Chains perfected the formula in the early the mid 90's but the building blocks were all presented to them by Soundgarden.
I will say this since were talking about grunge. AIC's music is far superior to that of Nirvana(the so called kings of grunge) IMO!
The rest I agree with, but STP is most definitely grunge. Core is a freaking work of art. This thread just inspired me to listen to Naked Sunday for the first time in forever. Amazing. If I had to pick a single grunge song though, it would probably be Would? by AIC.
Wow, some really good songs listed so far. For me anything on Nirvana's unplugged in New York album. My favorites are "Oh Me" and "Lake of Fire". Anything Chris Cornell had a stake in is freakin awesome. Not sure of the release date, but "Burden in My Hand" is one of his better. Also surprised no "Rage Against the Macine" has been mentioned but they may not quite be considered grunge.
I know you are generally supposed to take Wikipedia worth a grain of salt, but I usually find their music/band descriptions dead on, as everything on those pages are referenced to death. They label STP as Alternative Rock/Hard Rock/Grunge/Post Grunge.
Stone Temple Pilots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And while Offspring is a punk band, they tend to have a lot of grunge elements to their music, which is why they can be confused with grunge.
