1999 in music. • Page 7

"Mona Lisa" is my ultimate Guster song.

 

Lost and Gone Forever is my favorite, with Keep It Together a close second

 

The guster and dispatch love in hs was bizarre. Like an enormous 3rd group of music listeners outside of the radio and scene kids for lack of better terminology

 

Dispatch are greattttttt

 

I think O.A.R. could be lumped into this as well, at least their early stuff.

 

i like dispatch more than rhcp but that’s about it

 

where I grew up, a lot of that 3rd group is attributed to church kids who were "cool"

 

I have this one friend who was obsessed (still is) with both Guster and Dispatch in middle/high school (1998-2002)...along with DMB. She's literally the only reason I even know who Guster and Dispatch are.

My brother who is 26 is probably the biggest Dispatch fan I know, and he's 11 years younger than me. Insane!

 

That is the best Guster album IMO.

 

The one dispatch album is awesome.

 

great band up until about 03.

 

Hell yeah, that song is the bomb.

It only started to seem bizarre to me once I discovered this group existed at seemingly every high school. Haha

 

Do people like Dispatch or do they like "The General"? I've never been sure.

 

I think there's a lot of love for this album especially: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Bang_(Dispatch_album)

 

both. A few of my favoites if at all interested:

PLUS, I don't know if many people realize, but Matt Embree of Rx Bandits has been in the band since 2016, and he's fantastic

 

Listen, not gonna lie, that's where it started for me. I'm not ashamed.

 

Summer tour announcement relevant to this thread, haha. And yeah, I like G. Love also

 

Has anyone mentioned Moby's "Play" yet? Revisited that this afternoon and, while it wasn't hugely impactful for me at age 15 in 1999, it's a really cool record. It often got categorized as "electronica" or "techno" because people weren't sure what to make of the genre-hopping but it's actually a very organic album built off of old samples with minimal electronic beats.

 

I had Play on CD as a kid and while I listened to it every so often, it never really was a favorite. Years later after not listening to it for a long time, I came back to it and was waaay more into it and impressed, very cool record

 

i can smell the weed from here

 

That’s the one.

 

Dispatch and O.A.R. are coming to MT and I love concerts but don't know if I would like them?
