Matthew Sweet deserves more listens. He came from the same Georgia music scene as R.E.M. He’s had some hits, but Dinosaur Act was not one of them.
Karl Wallinger, the force behind World Party, passed away last week. World Party had some great albums in the late 80s and early 90s, and my favorite was Goodbye Jumbo. And my favorite track – Way Down Now – had classic lyrics.
This is one of the coolest and moodiest songs of the 1990s, and I missed it for over 25 years. Hell, it would be one of the coolest and moodiest songs of the 1960s as well.
Tori Amos plays a Bösendorfer piano. Impress your friends with that. They make 97 and 92 key instruments in addition to traditional 88.
Can you tell in this song?
So, I love this song Funky Céilí, it’s just so catchy. Black 47 had a hit on their hands in 1993, and I kind of thought we’d be hearing a lot more of them going forward.
Maybe this isn’t Pearl Jam’s greatest song. But I think it’s their catchiest.
Love and her band Hole were no musical hanger-ons. They had some great songs.
“Wake Up Dolores” is definitely my favorite song by Los Lobos, and is from a fantastic 1992 album, Kiko.
I heard Shawn Colvin in the 1990s but I didn’t listen enough. She’s good.
Is there a more evil song than Possum Kingdom by The Toadies?
