I tuned out of most pop and rock music in the 90s. I've always been very counter-culture that way. I listened to older things instead, or various forms of electronic music that was popular at the time (in addition to film music, of course). I'm starting to appreciate SOME 90s stuff now, though, but I'll always have a closer connection to the pop music of the preceding decades (and bits and pieces of 2000s and 2010s stuff).

Agreed. They were so much more than just THERE SHE GOES.

 

Its a damn good list, although I'd replace TRANCENTRAL...

with BUILD A FIRE, and ENJOY... with WORLD IN MY EYES, but otherwise...

No love for Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Rage Against The Machine, or Beastie Boys?

I'm really liking this for some reason

 

 

I have a feeling this could be a great listen with my father on one of those long highway trips

 

Never really sat down and listened to this, but I like Todd Rundgren's work, as a solo artist, with Utopia, and, especially, with XTC, so I'll give it a spin.

I'm sorry, i don't know if I should post this here, but I'm very proud and moved to post here this magnificent film song by the great Alex North, sung by my best friend and more than a brother George, in yesterday's The Voice of Greece. My friend is not a professional singer, he just loves singing with all his being and has taken some voice lessons. But it was enough to enchant all 4 judges and the people. I wish you could understand their comments, it was one of the most moving moments in the show till now..

 

 

(well, I'm not in any photo in the beginning because I don't like taking photos.:P Fortunately I didn't go in the Green Room because I would cry my eyes out and would be very embarassed! :lol:)

Do you have anything from the 70's for me, Melange? Preferably British and disco.

 

Nothing British for you at the moment off the top of my head, but here is a favourite of mine, a great uplifting song. 

 

I post the lipsynced video below first because though the sound quality is not so good, these dudes are having great fun doing it. 

 

 

And here is it with clearer sound quality........

You guys have the worst taste in pop music! 

 

Kidding. But this thread needs more prog rock, art rock and symphonic rock.

Needs more Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, and The Damned

You could say I'm am Omnivore about Music, I can find and absorb something of nutritional value from most forms. 

 

While we're on the subject, Welcome back to 80s Sunday................

 

I love the video filmed in Cairo, the local folks looking at them thinking - "Just what kind of western wackiness is this s***? " 

 

(especially the barber)

Most of those arent 90's songs.

 

Pop music only ever created one classic Christmas song anyway!

 

 

 

Fairytale of New York says hello. 

 

Driving Home for Christmas is also great.
