90s Music - Nostalgia

Saw/heard the two girls from The Clouds at 16 Lovers Lane at the Sydney festival a few weeks back. Voices like angels.
The Clouds reformed and released an EP last year. A wonderful surprise and every bit as good as ‘90’s releases.

Saw Weezer in Melb a few weeks ago. Rivers looks like he hasnt aged.

I didnt get into their new album 'Pacific daydream' that much, but after hearing their new tracks live I get the vibe now.

Happy hour is my favorite song at the moment

Violater and Zooropa are also albums I love (and enjoy a few others mentioned), but don't quite make the top 30 or so cut. A few recommendations in there for me!

Can understand preferences for different albums. ATCQ for many is a line decision, and Slowdive transformed into something different across their first few albums. I find with a lot of the grunge acts I can tend to gravitate towards one release (likewise with Vs. or Jar of Flies) among some other quality work which doesn't appeal as strongly.

Oasis - (whats the story) morning glory
Nirvana - Nevermind
Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar
Rage against the machine - Battle for Los Angeles
Guns n Roses - Use your illusions
Foo fighters - The color and the shape

Yeah there isn’t too much between the first 3 ATCQ albums really.

I need to listen to more Alice In Chains actually, and id probably stump for Ten out of any Pearl Jam albums.
