C) Anything bad in the world is already on YouTube As someone who came up in the "video mixtape" scene of the eighties and nineties, and who is well-known for saying things like "You have to see this, it's fucking terrible," I lament this. In a world where everything is cataloged and archived and at your fingertips, it's getting harder and harder to find good trash.You should read the politics thread here |

I remember looking through my dad's (mostly tastefully curated) record collection as a kid and looking at the Stevie Wonder and Who records and wondered how I was going to explain CDs like Nasty As They Want To Be and We Can't Be Stopped in my collection to my kids one day. Luckily.... A) Kids don't even know what CDs are B) There is no need to use CDs anymore so they all sit in a box in my attic C) Anything bad in the world is already on YouTube D) Those albums are still awesome I'll agree with you We Can't Be Stopped, but I recently relistened to that 2 Live Crew album, and all those sex rhymes get old pretty fast. |

I haven't listened to it in years and I always preferred Banned in the USA, but it's still got to be worth a few laughs. Will add it to my listening queue. |

I really just want to nominate Operation Livecrime just so I don't need to use Empire as my Queensryche vote. Ugh. I was looking for something to listen to this afternoon and this worked perfectly. |

We are going to have very similar lists. I was going to comment about the lack of "Pump" (given your inclusion of "Get a Grip") but then I realized that came out in '89 too. I keep getting duped! |

I had to verify Pump's release date last night as well. There were so many 1989 releases that just missed the cut.

The 90s are my least knowledgeable decade by far, so I’m hype for all the new listening I get to do in the next few weeks. There’re tons of massive bands (mostly of the alt-rock persuasion) and other acclaimed stuff that I’m either totally unfamiliar or only heard once or twice.
That said, I’ma do a few write-ups too. I think my first will be on Bedhead? Stay tuuuned

Pale Hose if you've got Pantera there you've got to have the first Down album there too. So good.

Sparklehorse- Good Morning Spider You must note when listening to Good Morning Spider is that Mark Linkous almost died before he made it. Collapsed on his hotel room floor for 16 hours after an accidental overdose while in London opening for Radiohead (their favorite band at the time), it changed the course of his life, to say nothing about the tone of his second album. The eerie presence of ghosts, the feelings of spirits, the shadow of death; it’s all baked into the album. You can hear it on Vic Chesnutt’s voicemail on “Sunshine”, or the radio static that swallows the second verse of “Chaos of the Galaxy/Happy Man”, or the Daniel Johnston cover “Hey Joe”. All of it sounds coming from beyond the pale. And yet this contrasts with the lightness of tracks that often follow those darker ones, with music assembled from thrift store keyboards, cellos and violins, and Linkous’ own words (pushed a bit in spots by David Lowery of Cracker, who handed him a guitar in his hospital bed). It’s an album of contrast, and in my opinion, his best work (with all due respect to 1996’s vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot). Major labels of the late 90s were all trying to find the post-grunge sound to catapult sales in the wake of Nirvana, or at least get precious airplay on MTV. The idiosyncratic sound of Good Morning Spider stands out as something that never wanted to be on the radio or the TV, only to show purpose in the aftermath of personal tragedy. Linkous was in fact the “tough skinned bitch” he sang about on “Pig” after all. He found beauty and maybe even joy out of tragedy. And for the lifelong depressed kid in me, I can’t thank him enough for it. The Songs: “Pig”, “Sick of Goodbyes”, “Chaos of the Galaxy/Happy Man”, “Hey, Joe”, “Maria’s Little Elbows”

Also, just because there have been a few questions: Feel free to post whatever writeups you'd like in the thread itself. I mentioned in the first post that I'd collect them and spread them out a bit since this project will go on for like 2 months, so if you've got more than one written initially or something, you can shoot it over to me in a PM and we can save it.

The Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker While this album is very good, the next two are much better and also eligible. |
