Pixies Bossanova album, released back in 1990, was one of the great albums of the 90s that shaped the music landscape of the decade.




Being the music expert I am I was massively into them before anyone else in Australia.

Truth be told hardly anyone knew about them in Australia until Kurt Cobain name dropped them as an influence and said that they were better than Nirvana.

They took off after that but by that time they had already broken up, their Death to the Pixies best of compilation CD released in 1997 sold like hot cakes.

This song wasn't on it though, it had to be an oversight as it was one of their best songs imo.

The late show was great. Gleisner, Sitch, Molloy, Martin,Kennedy etc (basically working dog/g generation). Jeez that was a funny show and the music guests Mick always mistakenly hired were great.

Have the best of at home and still watch it from time to time. Never gets old.

Shitscared with Rob and Mick was champagne comedy.




People used to stay in on Saturday nights just to watch the Late Show, you didn't want to miss it, it was that funny.

Pearl Jam was definitely one band I had time for during the 90's....Eddie Vedder certainty had a unique voice & an excellent grasp on the dark side of the masculine psyche.

Yeah. They get a bad rap but Vedder was a pretty clued in guy.
Inevitably suffered comparisons to Nirvana which was ridiculous.
Showing the label "grunge" was loosely applied and hardly definitive.

This one from the amazing voice of Annie Lennox was as moving as they come....George Steiner's' work Language & Silence always come to mind, whenever I hear it.



How do we evaluate the power and utility of language when it has been made to articulate falsehoods in certain totalitarian regimes or has been charged with vulgarity and imprecision in a mass-consumer democracy? How will language react to the increasingly urgent claims of more exact speech such as mathematics and symbolic notation? These are some of the questions Steiner ...more

 

[Procrastinator35]

One of Annie is never enough in my books.....Another brilliant composition from her during the 90's here.

Pearl Jam and Neil Young was a big hit in the 90s.




Pearl Jam were trying to introduce us 90s kids to Neil Young,

We were already smoking bongs to Cowgirl in the Sand, we were one step ahead of them.

 

[Plugger35]

This was the ultimate 90s song.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Powerful song & an even more powerful voice....This one hit close to home.

 

[Plugger35]

One of the last great Cure songs.

Lime green and tangerine.




I had the best laid plans this side of America.

Is there room in your life for one more trip to the moon.

Another Gal who made it big in the 90's....Quirky as, but she understood that life is all about paradoxes.

Phenomenal song this one. Proving that the 90's wasn't all about bubble-gum & squeak pop.

Wrong.
A couple of my mates were like that. If they controlled the vehicle that night and not drinking, we ended out having to wait to go out. It was funny but had a lot of stuff that did not work between the funny stuff.

The 90s featured the last great black album before douchebags like Kanye West took over with his pretentious super serious garbage,

3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life Of...






Arrested Development were fun, remember black music when it used to be fun and they weren't all rapping about shooting cops and banging bitches.

Early 90s I wasnt a big fan of Nirvana or Pearl Jam.. More a Pumpkins, STP, Nick Cave, You Am I, The Tea Party, Pulp, Supergrass, Jeff Buckley, Soundgarden, Chemical Brothers, The Flaming Lips kinda fanboy. I first picked up a guitar in 1990 and got to the point I was busking these songs and making 50 bucks an hour on a good day in Franga or the city.

By the late 90s I started digging Pearl Jam. It started with Give in to Fly. No Code.

One of my favorite albums of the 90s,
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Masterpiece.





90s are my era for music, up there with the 60s and 70s for quality IMO.
