If I was going to answer your question excluding Nirvana I would probably go with Rusty Cage from Soundgarden off of Badmotorfinger.

If you want a off the wall entry and maybe one a lot of people has forgot about I would go with In the Meantime by Helmet.
Those were the first two songs I thought of.

The third song was Faith No More - Out of Nowhere on the Epic album, but that actually came out in 1989. So I'll say Alice In Chains - Them Bones off of Dirt instead.

Seriously thought about this one but it's 1:54 run time dissuaded me. Great song to open a great album.

Windfall is probably Farrar’s best song, so no argument from me.
