90s music flashback. Who remembers...

Oh, those 1990s... allegedly time for Guru :vulcan:

Some of my favourites from the 90s:

"Boom Shack-A-Lak" - Apache Indian :guffaw:

"Killer" - Adamski :borg:

"Real Real Real" - Jesus Jones :cool:

"Loaded" - Primal Scream :D

"Faster" - Manic Street Preachers :klingon: [So THAT explains the accent - someone]

"The Rockafeller Skank" - FatBoy Slim ;)

"A Life Less Ordinary" - Ash :bolian:

Actually, speaking of the last one (which is the exception to the rule), I'm sorry to bring this up, but the 90s were also remembered for some truly awful movie soundtrack songs.
You know the ones of which I speak.
They were everywhere in the 1990s.
They went on and on and on.
I dare not mention their names. (Actually, this last one's aged pretty well. :adore:)


Still, something else to cheer most of you up (and disgust others):

What a buncha mainstreamers you people are. Yeah, shitty alt-rock became mainstream! Ha! "Black Hole Son" still plays 10 times a goddamned day around here.

They still play some shitty early 90's dance...like that Katy Perry...oh, she's new? She only sounds like she should be from the LaBouche/Snap era...

Sophie B. Hawkins sort of faded away, seems like she had talent...and that's NOT WHAT 90'S MUSIC WAS ABOUT!

There's so many 90's songs I still hate, by artists like the Gin Blossoms, The Spin Doctors, Paula Cole, Hootie & the Blowfish, Blind Melon, The Backstreet Boys, N-Sync, Brittney Spears, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, Deep Blue Something, Jesus Jones, Hanson, No Doubt*, Blues Traveler, and many more! And you can OWN THEM ALL in one great collection: MEAN JOE PHASER'S MOST HATED HITS OF THE 90'S from (Anger Management) SESSIONS!

*While some of their songs were okay, I fuckin' loathe "Don't Speak", which was played 1,000 an hour at its peak.
 
^While the radio stations need overkill "Don't Speak", I rather enjoyed the song. Actually, I think that the radio stations did overkill much of the music of the '90s..for instance they played (at least in the Philly area) Hootie & the Blowfish way too much (did have enjoyable music).

Early '90s I was in high school and mid-90s I was in college and by the end of the decade I was (and still am) married. So I remember much of the music prior to '98, but after '98 until about a few years ago, I wasn't into the current scene. What I listened to during this time was mostly oldies from the '50s, '60s, '70s, & '80s, and sometimes the '40s (I love Big Band music), which helped since I worked in a music store for about a year. The few artists that I listen to that were from the current era were..Amanda Marshall, 10,000 Maniacs, Garth Brooks, Harry Connick Jr, Indigo Girls, INXS, etc.

I just think that today's music is just too easy to make..just take an average singer with the help of some computers, voila..you have an instant pop singer..hopefully, the times are a changing in this industry and that they actually bring back some talent.

You want Nirvana on a "who remembers these guys" list?

Yeah. Whatever. :rolleyes:

I know you are trying to pretend to be a music gourmet here in an effort to impress everyone...but it comes off only as pretentious.

But hey...if you want to play pretentious with me, I can match you: Let's talk classical music. After all, the ONLY sort of music that is really worth listening to in the end. Because the rest? It comes, it goes. Here today, gone tomorrow. And 100 years from now, no one will remember a note of it.

Not even your obscure gourmet bands.

Actually, ESPECIALLY not your obscure gourmet bands.

Classical music, in fact, makes your entire self-appointed connoisseur-of-music position completely moot. Because the music you no doubt like will be just as forgotten 100 years from now as will be Black Hole Sun.

It will be as if they never happened.

But I promise you....Mozart and Beethoven and Chopin and Brahms will still be around.

So this whole superior attitude you have going on here? It's ridiculous. Especially since we are talking about music that will be largely forgotten - NONE of it is built to last. It's ALL just fluff, in the grand scheme of things. Silly little tunes that amuse us for a time. Until we, with our super-short attention spans, get bored and move on to the next silly little tune.

And so what the heck is the difference, when you think of it like that? What is the difference between 'mainstream' silly little tunes and whatever silly little tunes you listen to? It all means nothing, in the end. It will all be forgotten.

In fact, probably the only band to come out of the 90's that will get even a footnote in the music history books is Nirvana as they were the only ones to break some new ground. Everyone else fertilized and watered what they did....but Nirvana broke the ground...and if anyone from the 90's is remembered, it will likely be them.
 
Agree 100%, PKTrekGirl. :)

Besides, Ace of Base were great! [:rolleyes: - everyone]
(Incidentally, if anyone manages to find the version of that song mashed up with Nine Inch Nails... :guffaw:)
 
Soundgarden was by far the best band of the 90s.

Anyone remember Collective Soul, they had some good stuff.

What did they do that was anything different or better than anyone else? Mumbled a lot louder? Soundgarden to me is the one that broke the most ground. They actually had talent and could play the most different styles.

I have the 12" single of Shine which I quite like, I saw them supporting somebody but I can't remember who. I have the Hints Allegations album but I don't like it very much.

And Soundgarden are definitely in my top 3.

I thought this was a memory test-not a list of obscure music!;)

I'm ashamed that I didn't mention the Gin Blossoms first-seeing as how I went to school with half of them, worked with one of the others at one of my early jobs and hung out with them when they weren't playing at bars like the now -defunct Long Wong's. I guess it's still hard to wrap my mind around the idea that this particular collection of drunks and a-holes were famous. I guess your perspective is different when you've picked 'em up off the barroom floor and poured them into the back of their van....:lol:
 
I like most dance music from the early 90s.

Others favourites I remember besides snap:
Real McCoy, Alex Party, Capella, Felix... all happy memories. :)


edit:
Usura
haven't seen or heard that one for almost 15 years. Those picture/face morphings were very popular in the early 90s, as were the 3D computer geometry things. (I'm all smiles laying here watching this video :):):):):) )

It was fun graphics stuff like this that got me interested in maths.

I *loved* that one. :hugegrin: I always wondered if the sample used in that song was Mr. Spock himself...
