i find it weird that you guys dont still listen to 90s music. This thread is probably 75% of my ipod.


Black Lab is probably my "somewhat obscure but still mainstream" addition to this thread. Your body above me is an awesome album.

I didnt see anyone mention Candlebox. "You" is maybe the best song of the 90's.

Other than that I like Nirvana, 3EB, Tool, NIN, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.

Anytime I go on trips I always make 90's CD compilations with a few random 70's songs thrown in. Always nice for road trips, drunken car rides from the bar, etc.

You'd be surprised how many of your friends suffer through current music rather than just listening to songs they actually like most of the time.

90s on 9 is definitely one of my presets on my radio! My kids think that I'm crazy, but most of the time I am one singin' fool whenever the radio is tuned to this station.

There is plenty of excellent music in the current age, it's just that the crap hasn't been filtered out yet: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NothingButHits

This basically explains the earlier trope: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Sturgeon's_Law

There's also the matter of the fragmentation of music distribution, so that it's easier than ever before to have playlists composed of stuff that nobody you know has ever heard of but that also doesn't suck.


Also FTR my iPod has slightly more music (by total tracks and by total time) from after the '90s than from before 2000, and my '90s collection is heavily skewed toward the last half of the decade; a similar trend holds for my iTunes collection, and it's also interesting that I now have almost as much music from the current decade as from the '80s and '70s combined, soon to be more than every decade before the '90s combined...

1899: 1, 1:16, 1.8M

'50s: 10, 1:54:35, 95.8M
'60s: 30, 2:42:28, 178M
'70s: 176, 19:56:40, 1.71G
'80s: 399, 1:06:19:20, 2.43G
'90s: 4766, 17:12:44:19, 34.84G
'00s: 8513, 28:16:38:49, 57.34G

ahhh... the 90s... back in those days the music was made my instruments not producers and computers.

I would say that siamese dream is the best album of the 90s

But

i don't think benfolds has got any credit for "brick", "song for the dumped" and "the battle of who could care less"

Deftones "my own summer" rocks

Matter of fact almost everything on the matrix sound track finished out the 90s well

Manson should be given some credit for a couple of his songs tossed in there

Spybreak by the propeller heads is sick.


Hive "Ultra sonic sound"

The Granja Kru "super sharp shooter"

And Rage Against the machine was my jam.

i think its funny that korn and limp bizkit haven't been mentioned... maybe cause they suck

The Cake fashion nugget cd as a whole is pretty bitchen too.

How Bizarre

^^While you may be correct, Korn did have some decent stuff in the 90s

2/1/2012 8:32:01 AM

yeah... i mean i listened to adidas for a while because it was pretty much the only thing that sounded like that...


Ohhh and coal chamber... i still listen to them...
