Yea as soon as I saw that album cover I instantly thought about that song. Like we can talk about amazing growth of grunge and britpop and what that inspired, the acceptance of rap and hip hop as a major force in music, but what were people listening into in the 90s? New Age and Christian music that was more mainstreamed. That reminds me, at the time, their video for Sadness was like the weirdest video i'd seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F9DxYhqmKw I mean, its no Tool video, which the video for Sober still haunts the gently caress out of me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hglVqACd1C8 Yea still unnerving. What other video I saw in the 90s that freaked me out, His Name is Alive Are We Still Married https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9uf25wHhs0 Speaking of Britpop, I mentioned that back in the thread that if you asked me in the 90s who my favorite britpop band was, i'd of said Oasis, but now I'd say Blur, I had no idea that this was a huge thing between them in the UK. But what did I know? I was just dorky teenager in Canada that was limited to what i saw on MuchMusic because the radio didn't play this stuff. It played what i mentioned above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vTDXvkslk8&t=2s

Blur was the better band overall but the five best Oasis songs are greater than the five best Blur songs. There's no Blur song I want to listen to more than "Acquiesce", and that was an Oasis b-side.

90s new age music is a huge guilty pleasure for me. Hilary Stagg is my favorite; his music sounds like a Lisa Frank folder come to life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1JnGidBB6Y

For a video they played fairly regularly here, there''s a lot of butts in it. Its funny how early Blur sounds like coherent Happy Mondays more than anything, which is funny because they're from London. Sometimes I forget the UK has a big South/North thing, where the people from the south think the northerners are a bunch of uncultured thugs while the people from the north sees the southerners as a bunch of posh twits. And all that newage/world music stuff just puts me to sleep. You need to get real raw emotionally to get me to enjoy a slower song.

There's no Blur song I want to listen to more than "Acquiesce", and that was an Oasis b-side. Oasis turned into mediocrity the last half of their career but the first ~70 songs written by Noel Gallagher are pretty great. My only problem with Acquiesce is that the live version sucks and Liam just sings the same lyrics twice instead of doing the actual second verse.

Different Class is one of the rare truly flawless albums, start to finish. I bought it in 1997 and I've never stopped listening to it regularly to this day. Sure, Pulp never came close to equaling it, but nobody else has either. I was a little bit hipster sad when Shatner's cover of "Common People" was a thing most people heard about because up to that point most fellow Americans had never even heard of Pulp, despite them being absolutely massive in the UK in their day. So it was one of my go-to "here's something amazing you've never heard" recommendations until the Shatner thing. But then again, recommending music to friends is kind of a '90s thing. Nowadays nobody gives a poo poo what music their friends recommend. Just scroll right on by. In the late 90s and extremely early 2000s I was an authority among my friends when it came to music, and kind of worked hard to become and remain so. Now Youtube and Spotify and Pandora are the authorities, and nobody gives a poo poo about personal recommendations. I think because there is an element of social pressure to a music recommendation -- the recommender is going to ask you what you think (or worse, they're watching your face). Spotify doesn't care if you just go meh and hit next. The mix tape or CD as an object and the mix tape as a social phenomenon are probably the thing I miss the most from the '90s. That and the ability to believe things were pretty good and were only going to get better. Imagined has a new favorite as of 00:27 on Jul 10, 2019 |

That definitely sounds like the soundtrack to a second tier adventure game in the early CD-ROM / red book audio era.

I’ve got a bit of request here, because the most 90’s things I remember is also somehow borderline impossible to find for me. Back sometime in the mid-to-late 90’s, I played a kid’s educational game, who’s title I’m probably remembering wrong. It was something along the lines of Professor Solve-it-All Adventures, an interactive game where a cool, funky Science Guy has a hotline where people call in to get help for their problems. Basically it was a pre-rendered 3D point-and-click type game which also taught basic science to kids. That said, the game was ridiculously Nineties era - you knew the “Professor” was cool because he had a backwards cap and talked like a  cool guy who had attitude and you could also hang out with! Each part of the game also had educational side where there was a bickering couple (the smart girl/wacky boy combo) who taught the fundamentals and small scale DIY projects, with the final challenge of the game being a gigantic Rube Goldberg machine you had to figure out.Better yet, the game’s menu had him rap the intro, which for some stupid reason I still remember part of it (“I’m Solve-it-all and that’s alright, I’ll solve your problems day or night, if you’re in trouble don’t have a clue, then Solve-it-all is the man for you!”). I’m bringing this all up because I spent an unnecessary amount of time trying to find this goddamn game today and somehow it appears to be purged from the internet. If anyone can possibly find this stupid, stupid thing, you would have my deepest gratitudes!
