The 90's Music Thread • Page 3

I think Soft Bulletin / Yoshimi / At War With The Mystics was my favorite run of Lips albums

 

I definitely agree, no question about it. I really do like The Terror and Oczy, but in a different way. I also recently listened to Clouds Taste Metallic and that album's pretty awesome. But again, not in the same way as those 3

Another great list! So many greats in there. I just played the S/T Eve 6 on my drive home last night. I think every 90's - early 00's Teen Comedy used at least one song from that album.

 

SO good, the follow up, Horrorscope, was my favorite album of theirs though, that one meant a lot to me when I was younger and I still really dig it

 

Here's To The Night is such a good song.

 

I graduated HS in 2001, so Here's To The Night was timed pretty perfectly for that post-High School unknown. I saw them on the tour for Horrorscope and it was awesome. Since they had two basically perfect albums, it was one of those sets where no matter what they played, it was great.

 

Pearl Jam's Yield would definitely make my cut for 1998. My friends and I played that album to death! I think we were too young to really appreciate No Code for what it was and we were just happy they were playing harder rock music again.

 

I only ever got into Pearl Jam's Greatest hits, but did listen to Vitalogy recently and might dig deeper afterwards

 

my favorite things about your lists is the diversity, nice

 

Thanks! I really try to keep my scope expanding. And even within the mix itself, make sure the song transitions still work when multiple genres are on there

What a great decade.

 

Wow... this list! I basically agree with all of this. So many great memories attached to literally every one of these albums!

 

I haven't seen Our Lady Peace make any of these lists so far. But, Clumsy and Happiness... Is Not A Fish... were two huge 90's records for me

 

I never could get into them for whatever reason

 

Same here. Another band that I should have gotten into but didn't would include Oasis.

 

Oasis have 1-2 pretty great albums, but most all the albums after the first few kinda blend together. They never really had much diversity or experimenting, very straightforward and stuck to one style

 

Not to mention the vocals were so distinct that they always sounded the same.

 

I know it was Oasis vs Blur for a while, but boy do I believe that Blur are the far superior band

 

And the fact that the Gorillaz exist because of Blur.

 

Yep! Damon as a musical force is unstoppable, he has made so much great music in many genres

 

I wish Del was still used in the Gorillaz instead of De La Soul.

 

I don't dislike De La Soul at all, and I think that between Plastic Beach and the upcoming album that the addition of MORE rappers has worked really well.... but I would love more Del along with it all

 

Just if I compared Del The Funky Homosapien to De La, Del wins.
