#872 Mercury Rev – Deserter’s Songs

Mercury Rev? I have never heard anything from them, at least I believe that is true. They released their fourth album Deserter’s Songs in 1998. The band expected it to be their last one, but as chance would have it their fate changed. They found fame mostly in the UK and Europe, and a small […]

#871 Hole – Celebrity Skin

Hole is a band that I really enjoyed in the early 90s. Unfortunately, their third album Celebrity Skin was released during my time away from music so i completely missed it. The album was a critical and commercial success for the band. Courtney Love proved that she could make great music without Kurt Cobain. My […]

#838 Radiohead – OK Computer

Radiohead did the same thing as Blur in 1997. Both bands moved away from Britpop. Radiohead became more alternative and more art rock. OK Computer their third album was when I paid more attention to them. My favourite songs are “Let Down”, “Karma Police“, “Climbing Up the Walls”, “No Surprises”, “The Tourist”, and “Lucky”. I […]

#831 The Cardigans – First Band On The Moon

I am not enjoying the 1996 that much. Another band that I do not know is The Cardigans. Their third album First Band On The Moon was the breakthrough into mainstream. It was the Swedish bands best-selling album in the USA. I thought I would like this album more than I did. I could not […]

#820 Wilco – Being There

I know I have heard Wilco before today. Unfortunately, I cannot remember my feelings toward them. I know their second album Being There is alternative country and alternative rock. It has a 50/50 chance of being terrible. One of my favourite genres and the worst collide. It must be the end of the world. I […]

#787 Garbage – Garbage

Garbage eponymous debut album was released in 1995. I remember the band and the album, but I do not remember if I liked it. I think I might have owned the compact disk of it. I remember lead singer Shirley Manson was a bit odd. Overall, I was not totally sold on the album. I […]

#739 The Afghan Whigs – Gentlemen

I have never heard anything from The Afghan Whigs. Supposedly they were influence in music, especially their fourth album Gentlemen. They disbanded in 2001, but since have reunited in 2014. Never say never. Singer Greg Dulli has a decent voice at times, but sometimes he sounds strained and I find it irritating. The music is […]

#733 PJ Harvey – Dry

Honestly, I have never heard anything from English musician and singer-songwriter PJ Harvey. That being said, it makes me wonder if it will be another artist that I wish I could skip. I have not really found any treasures in the 90s that make me want to rethink my whole life. I wonder how it […]
