I always felt Collective Soul was the most manufactured of the Grunge bands. There was also a trend for modern music to use samples or sounds from like a 1920s or 30s jazz band, which I can think of the best examples being Lucas With the Lid Off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY5zaDZq0sc And of course Doop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvLDm8821jQ There's others but I can't remember any specific names of bands or songs, this probably also primed people for the Swing revival in the last years of the decade. Did you know that an actual Zoot Suit Riot would occure because Zoot Suit wearing Latino and Black teens in the 40s would get attacked by gangs of cops and beaten and arrested? Lets make a fun song about drinking beer and combing your hair out of that! Whitetown's Your Woman had some of that, but mostly just in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVL-zZnD3VU I remember when it came out, djs and such would talk about "wow this is a really feminist song!" because it would be a man who would make the most feminist song on the radio. I do love the lyric "your highbrow marxist ways" though. Compared to Meryn Cadell's Sweater Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFfy0dMKIi8 I guess this is more spoken word and doesn't have nearly as funky a beat. This is sending me down a youtube hole at 4am I had no idea this was Baz Lurhmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJ7AzBIJoI Which cannot be posted without Chris Rocks's parody https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9yBPcn8IqU twistedmentat has a new favorite as of 09:05 on Jun 12, 2018 |

 I saw this at goodwill, circa 1991. You're supposed to pop the hour long tape in, turn the lights down, and play along. For 3-6 players, ages 12 and up. I thought about buying it, but I don't own a VHS player and already have enough junk cluttering my place.

Shine is the most 90's song, it was everywhere, and I'm pretty sure any movie or TV show that takes place in the 90's only needs to play part of it to set the scene. Ziv Zulander posted:
I had this game. They actually made more videos for it, because it's really a one and done type thing. All in all video board games were a cool idea IMHO, but they really needed something like DVD where things could get shuffled.

I've seen Collective Soul a lot. They always come back to the House of Blues at Disney Springs and tell the story of how they were driving through Orlando when they suddenly heard "Shine" come on the radio for the first time. Their last concert I saw a few years ago was great because Ed's given up all pretense of being a good preacher's son and is dropping F-bombs all over the place.

One summer my grandmother paid me 200bux to paint the side of her house that was all peeling. Which in the mid 90s was a hell of a lot of money. I listened to Stone Temple Pilots Purple, Pearl Jam Vs, Nirvana In Utereo, Sound Garden Super Unknown, Beastie Boys Ill Communication, and Beck's Mellow Gold. There was probably a mix tape in there too, but kids these days won't know the pain in the rear end it was to change tapes constantly, not to mention batteries. I'm sure its been mentioned before, but the Yellow Sony Sports Walkman was such a ubiquitous piece of 90s tech. This is the exact model I had, which was awesome because it automatically flipped the tape when it finished the side!

The only bad thing about this was that if an album had a secret song hidden on it you'd miss it becuase when the last song is done, you'd switch cds or start it again! I recently threw out all my old mix cds, which I burned and dated, and I have no desire to find out what was on Mix june 30th 1997.

It is the most jockey Dad music from the 90s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln6WQqRDrCo It is weird seeing Kieth Olbermann as a Human because I associate his voice with the Newcaster Whale on Bojack Horseman. Two Princes is perfect hippy nerd College Rock Anthem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsdy_rct6uo Before Nickleback, we in Canada exported Barenaked Ladies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28oxinZmrW0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkg8pkCPDLo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ilI6O6ZTiQ There was a fair amount of songs/videos about the sillyness and over seriousness and abstractness of alternative rock around this time I realize now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC_q9KPczAg Probably their most popular song outside of Canada. Canada didn't just produce radio friendly inoffensive pop rock though Moist - Silver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8xBETsR5ck Tea Party - The Bazzar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCye7v79Tz0 Treble Charger - Red https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjST_3hJnbM Plumtree - Scott Pilgrim (i actually dated one of the members briefly in high school) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb3TWNzMSr0 Jale - Not Alone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF_9R2xCP2o Sloan - Underwhelmed (they hit is pretty big with their later stuff but I was always more of a fan of their earlier rockier stuff) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF_9R2xCP2o Hayden - Bad as they seem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzQY7yRDil0 I'm really reliving my high school years here Though Canadian music in the 90s was really dominated by the Traigically Hip, who I admit, was never a huge fan of, and actually was kind of annoyed by how much play they'd get at the time, but I cannoy deny that there is a simple beauty to Ahead By A Century https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF_9R2xCP2o

Did you know, when it snows, my eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen... There was also U2's contribution to the Batman Forever soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDl1c0nR5SI For some reason no original version of this video exists. I never really understood why they make explicit Bono was reading The Screw Tape Letters at one point. I have never seen this before but holy poo poo is this 90s brit as gently caress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_RNAoBlUIo

I Swear Counting Blue Cars Roll to Me Found Out About You Kissed by a Rose Because the Night Bump’n’Grind Come to My Window I’ll Remember Linger And one random Ace of Bass song Just on constant loop for two months straight. I can’t think about anything that happened to me that summer without feeling like I’m watching a goddamn Cameron Crowe movie.

I'd have killed for auto reverse or a digital tuner. I had this one...  I got a story about mine too. I mowed god knows how many lawns to buy that thing. The day I got it I was so excited to test it's waterproofness that I decided to fill up the sink with water and enjoy a song or two with my awesome fully submerged walkman. That worked about as well as you would expect. That was the day I learned that water resistant is not the same as water proof. Thankfully I was able to pull a fast one and exchange it for a less soggy one. drat thing really was built to last too. I don't remember how it ended up dying in the end but I beat the poo poo out of it for a long time. I think of it whenever I see one of these driving around.  If I ever end up owning one of those I think it'd be fun to get some sports walkman decals for the hood and the playback buttons on the side. Now that I think about it, Nissan and Sony missed out on a great co-branding opportunity. Throw a Sony stereo and speakers in some of those yellow Xterras, slap "SPORTS WALKMAN EDITION" badging on, some special decals or pinstriping and charge $2k for the option. Xterras are pretty neat cars to begin with and the Walkman could have made for a neat special edition. Grumbletron 4000 has a new favorite as of 04:56 on Jun 13, 2018 |

I was a kid at the time (born in 1992), but I have distinct memories of pretty much all of these songs. I also listened to a ton of 80s stuff like "One Night in Bangkok" on local radio because it was only about a decade old at the time and hadn't quite become retro yet. The song that probably defines the 90s for me is "Mambo No. 5". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK_LN3XEcnw My church used to do fairs with proper fairground rides and games and poo poo, and this song would always be playing at it. I also listened to a lot of NSYNC and Backstreet Boys into the early 2000s.

Kiss from a rose is seriously awesome and pretty timeless tbh. It always makes me think of winter because of the "when it snows" thing I guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO6BtpIzIiM Oh a completely different note I just remembered this song coming on the radio in my bedroom when I was a kid and I was dancing to it then I realized what they were saying and I got scared my parents would hear and get mad or something so I turned it off. Just like when I got the album So Much for the Afterglow and it had the word gently caress so I had to keep the volume low or use headphones  Edit chitoryu12 posted:
Lol I hated this song because my name is Mary and when that part would come up all the kids would yell it at me to tease me. Idk if other girls with names from that song had the same problem but it was v annoying!
