Chachie Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I'm going to answer by only listing songs from bands that didn't really make it out of the 90s as far as impact or being "memorialized" by the mass population. There are a ton of great songs by acts like these but I can only think of so many in the moment. I LOVED these songs... Stereo MCs- Connected Matthew Sweet- Girlfriend Stone Roses- Fool's Gold Semisonic- Closing Time The Prodigy- Breathe Luscious Jackson- Naked Eye Soul Coughing- Super Bon Bon Spacehog- in the Meantime I realize I'm limited to only a few genres here. Forgive me. I wasn't into country or R&B at the time and I left heavy metal behind after Guns and Roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me. I wasn't into country or R&B at the time and I left heavy metal behind after Guns and Roses. Guns N' Roses was not really metal, but kind of get your point. After the early 90s there wasn't a whole lot of good metal, and the format pretty much went as far as it could. It was telling when MTV cancelled Headbangers Ball in 1996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I mentioned, there were so many great songs from that decade that I know I'm missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I remember seeing "Welcome to the Jungle" for the first time on the ball back in the day, what a time to be alive. And I play Matthew Sweet in my car all the time, love that CD. Speaking of which... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm gonna have to go re-purchase that album. Fantastic. The 90s was also (in my perception) the big start of festival culture. It's not the same now.

Just get together, and be family. We're all going through the same ****, but this is our day off from all that. I miss being able to tell the real world to **** off.

Also- A big shout out to WHFS radio and their annual festival. HFS was around long before the 1990s but I consider that decade to be their big era and to be the era that pulled me out of the 80s hard rock/metal scene, which had gone so stale. I didn't dig into the 80s new wave/alt rock music until the early 90s and WHFS was responsible for that too. (I was in the Navy during the end of the 80s and was limited to what I could listen to.) Loved that station with all my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I saw the Cranberries mentioned, but I liked their "Memories" song more. Also, I haven't seen this song from 1990 mentioned, "Freedom" by George Michael. Others from my high school college days include "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot "Mysterious Ways" by U2 "Mary Jane's Last Dance" - Tom Petty "Boombastic" - Shaggy "No Diggity" - Blackstreet "Let's Talk about Sex" - Salt-N-Pepa Even though I hate to mention it, I feel like "Macerena" by Los Del Rio belongs on the other side of the ledger for great songs of the 90's.

skinsmarydu Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Remember this, y'all? Listen carefully...bad area (or so the radio station people say). Watch the whole thing. If this is "madness", count me in. All day, with no phones in my face blocking my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 So... Props to @Metalhead for this post here: and also @Spaceman Spiff who I hope listened to it on his ride home that day. I FINALLY listened to that album (Toadies - Rubberneck) this last weekend. Rubberneck is ****ing ROCK ****ing MUSIC. While @Metalhead said that there was nothing that sounded like it, it reminds me of SO many 90’s artists. Lots of Nirvana and a little bit of The Pixies. Most importantly, it ****ing bangs for like 30 something minutes straight through. LOVE this album. Sorry it took me so long, but the right frame of mind at the right time and I’m in love with this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a personal fave of mine and will always be with me. I just love the dude's voice, especially his raw yells which have a crackly edge to them. Lol here I go again....

It was great because I lived very near Annapolis then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
