The Bloggers With The Most To Say




I've spent the last few days on a super flashback into the 90s. Not just awesome music, but weird obscure music that only I seem to remember.
(Cannonball- The Breeders, look it up) Then there was a discussion on 20SB
last night about this exact subject which made my mind churn up more
music that I haven't thought of in years. I've even taken a trip out of
my usual alternative/rock/metal comfort zone, and into some strange
R&B, hip-hop, pop through the 90s. I know that what we listen to
throughout our teenage years stick with us for the rest of our lives
(Thanks Ross) and for me that was an amazing time. I can listen to
Violent Femmes or Blur and think of an exact moment in time when I heard
those bands. Who I was with...what was happening, it's like a window to
a great moment. I've noticed when I get really stressed, playing Fiona
Apple and just being alone takes me to a place where everything gets
better. I don't know when it really started, but music has always been
the most healing element of my life. For someone who loves music to the
point I do, the inability to make it is depressing. I've toyed with the
idea of singing, and I guess anyone can sing...only some do it well.
(Let's not discuss how I have two amazingly talented sisters with great
voices) This doesn't mean I don't break out into song at parties with
friends jamming on guitar...yay for spontaneous "Zombie", it just means
that I'd never get paid for my vocal abilities.

So I'm gonna grab some flannel and Doc Martin's, listen to Radiohead and Jane's Addiction and
just remember the days. I think everyone should join me in celebrating
some of the greatest music of our lifetime. So leave a comment to share
your favorite songs/artists of the 90s...

Music has evolved so much over the past decade. Hip hop is completely different. Rock has become mellow and RnB.. does it still exist? Check this site out. It's a nostalgia website for people that miss the past :) . Do you remember the Boy Band burst in the 90's ( Backstreet boys, NSync etc. ?) I was around 10 or 11 when that happened and I'm ashamed to say that I was so into them. I am was a big fan of bands like Sugar ray, the bare naked ladies, Oasis, Arrested Development, Mr Big, RHCP, The proclaimers and smashmouth to name a few. Also, how could you forget... The arrival of Britney Spears, The Spice Girl phenomenon, Michael Jackson and the Macarena. I miss the 90's... everything about it, including flannel, torn jeans and timberland boots. This was a nice post. Hope to see more of the ' 90's '.
