evobatman posted:The 90est of superheroes got the 90est of soundtracks I always thought that the Spawn soundtrack was a direct ripoff of the Judgement Night soundtrack. Judgement Night was Rap artists collaborating with Hard Rock bands wheras Spawn was Techno collaborating with Metal. A small difference, but an important one to teenaged me.

whiteyfats posted:NIN's cover, while not terrible, is noticeably inferior to Joy Division. Should have just used the original. I did prompt me to go out and find out who joy division was. The 90s was a real time for Soundtracks to be bigger than the movies they were for. A Band could become an over night success because they made it onto a soundtrack album that sold well. The Cardigans were probably the most well known for their song on Romeo and Juliet in North America. There was also the Trainspotting soundtrack that probably was a kickoff of the brief domination of UK house and techno on the charts as well and what was known as Britpop. 1. "Lust for Life" (Iggy Pop, David Bowie) Iggy Pop 2. "Deep Blue Day" (Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Roger Eno) Brian Eno 3. "Trainspotting" (Bobby Gillespie, Andrew Innes, Robert Young, Martin Duffy) Primal Scream 4. "Atomic" Sleeper 5. "Temptation" (1987 version) New Order 6. "Nightclubbing" Iggy Pop 7. "Sing" Blur 8. "Perfect Day" Lou Reed 9. "Mile End" Pulp 10. "For What You Dream Of" (Full-on Renaissance Mix) Bedrock (feat. KYO) 11. "2:1" Elastica 12. "A Final Hit" Leftfield 13.

whiteyfats posted:A shitload. Having recently dusted off that  for some reason, I made an amateur analysis on 90's Alternative music.In the beginning of the 90's the airwaves were still haunted by the remnants of the 80's, and were fairly set on trucking along in that manner. Then the success of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit happened. After that, the record companies scrambled to put out more of that to varying success. The Peak of "new" alternative on the radio was about 1995, (1994, and 1996 are second and third respectively) with a heavy drop in 1997. Most of the 90's alternative being put out during that time were small bands that didn't quite fit anywhere, they were distorted to metal levels, mostly simple tunes, but more skilled than punk, and often influenced by album oriented rock. Vocals ranged from harsh to melodic, basically these were your average garage bands with a minor record contract. The bands that had put out a couple of albums (most of them had at least one album prior to 1993), and would have called it a milestone to be the first opening act on a local leg of a large band's tour. Around 1997-1998, the initial wave was fairly mined out by the airwaves, and were starting to release follow-up albums. The problem is, with the record companies were putting a lot more production onto these albums, and they almost unanimously were lackluster compared to the previous ones, for that very reason. 90's alternative was best when it was relatively unpolished, and those that did survive either became nu-metal, or pop-punk. I think that this was also why the record companies attempted to push ska onto us. They mined out all the "new" alternative, and needed more to fill that gap, of course no one really liked ska.

I've read that one overlooked factor in the alternative rock boom in the 90s was Dan Aykroyd et al. setting up the House of Blues chain, because that allowed a new string of mid-sized concert venues to spring up in a very short space of time which gave a lot of new bands somewhere to play where they'd get attention. On Nirvana, one of the things everyone remarks on is how Nevermind displaced Michael Jackson's Dangerous from the number-one spot on the album chart. One of the things people don't tend to talk about is how Nevermind was itself replaced by a Garth Brooks album which stayed there for ten weeks straight. You look at the music that defined the decade and it's all the alt rock guys and the golden age hip-hop guys, but the artists who sold the most records were Garth Brooks and Céline Dion.

And the Archie's got a number one hit in the country when some of the greatest rock bands of the 60's were still performing. Doesn't really mean anything except record sales don't actually equal good music. The 90's were no different, most week's top five were an undifferentiated string of bland, popular R & B singles or primordial frat-country if you were stuck in the midwest.

The 90s was also sadly the reason Rock Radio died. Rock Radio was pretty quick in larger markets to start playing Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots and the others, but as the 90s wore on the popularity of these bands lessened, and New Metal started to become popular, so they were replaced by Limp Bizkit, Linken Park and a whole host of bands that had poorly spelled names. This was so sudden and popular, that it completely pushed 90s rock and Grunge off the air, but as the rise was as fast as the fall, as people quickly turned on this bands because listeners seemed to wake up and realize "wait, this music is for assholes" and listeners dropped for the radio stations, which caused their ad revenues to drop, and they ended up getting bought up by Virgin or the other radio stations that are basically just long google play lists that are made up of random music from the last 40 years. That's not really that much the 90s, but I always want to bring more hate for New Metal as it really was the biggest pile of poo poo every hoisted onto the listening public. Though I think that the Grosse Point Blanke soundtrack is probably the earliest catalyst for the resurgence of 80s music. Anyways, I was watching one of my favorite Angry Video Game Nerd episodes, Nintendo Power https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eegQI9WM6mk And I came to wonder, why was all marketing to kids weird and gross in the 90s? Like their would be some random things happening, or it would have a line like "more fun that picking your friends nose!". Yea i know marketing is always trying to get peoples attention, but there was a really specific time when the grossness and weirdness was really turned up. "Don, our sales for toys are slipping, what do you think we should we should do?" "Lets make kids think of barfing when they see our products!" "Double your salary!"

You're more likely to hear Alice in Chains: Rooster, or Cake: The Distance.

When it comes to soundtracks, I doubt any performed as well as the Titanic soundtrack. They even made a second part ("revisited "or something) that mixed songs with dialog from the film. I owned both. I'm a straight guy.

There is a book called the Console Wars that details the fight between Sega.and Nintendo in the 80s and 90s. It goes into detail about Sega's marketing. They were the cool older kid/college console, whereas Nintendo was for little kids. The ads are so 90s it hurts. Leon Einstein has a new favorite as of 14:32 on Apr 14, 2017 |

Something I was thinking about the other day is how in the nineties, the eighties felt like ANCIENT HISTORY. The "Grosse Point Blank" soundtrack might as well have been the Forrest Gump soundtrack. When Billy Idol made his appearance in "The Wedding Singer," it was only 8 years after his most recent big hit, yet it was treated as a completely wacky and crazy gag. That would be like someone from 2009 appearing in a current movie as a funny "retro" gag.

Grosse Point Blank brings up something I've always wondered about the whole "classy hitman" genre that popped up a lot in the 90's. Started with Leon I guess? There seemed to be a bunch of movies that aped it, and then you had Boondock Saints which parodied it (poorly). But just a whole lot of "Killing people is a good thing if you have good reasons" films.
