Winner!

Clue #1: Not a Bruce solo song, though it might remind you of one. — The arpeggiated clean guitar bit leading into the verse of “Wasting Love” is lifted from the beginning of Bruce Dickinson’s “Son Of A Gun”, another composition of Janick’s.

Clue #2: Finite Dreams — A reference to the lyric “dream on brothers, while you can”.

Clue #3: Don’t ask who’s to blame, I don’t know — A lyric from Megadeth’s “Almost Honest”, which is an indirect reference to the lyric “maybe one day I’ll be an honest man”.

Clue #4: First-born of the empire in 1990, but the official coming out wasn’t until the following year — As @jeffgt14 already explained, “Best I Can” was the first track off of Queensrÿche’s Empire album which was released in 1990, but “Best I Can” wasn’t released as a single until 1991. The song title references the lyric “up till now I’m doing the best I can”.

Clue #5: The sun shines in the bedroom when we play — A lyric from Nirvana’s “Son Of A Gun”, referencing the song alluded to by clue #1.

Clue #6: Swiftly flow the days — A lyric from “Sunrise, Sunset” from Fiddler On The Roof, referencing the lyric “long roads, long days from sunrise to sunset, sunrise to sunset”
