The 90s thread

[Plugger35]

Out of all the great U2 songs that Bono has written, this is the U2 song you're most likely to hear on commercial FM radio stations.




It's a stupid little song that Bono wrote to his wife to get back in her good books after he was off on his sex, drugs and rock'n roll tours.

Bono hates it and is embarrassed that it was released, the rest of U2 hate it, even his wife hates it, the only people that like it are FM radio stations.

One of the greatest 90s singles from one of the greatest Australian bands.




That song was huge in the early 90s, it broke them in the States as Molly would say, they were still playing it on the radio in 1999 when I was there,

Silverchair were all the rage in the States back then too and they got a lot of airplay but it was never any of their good stuff off Frogstomp.

It was sh*t like this from Neon Ballroom which was the polished Americanised commercial rock version of Silverchair.

True, this one was good though

 

[Plugger35]

True, this one was good though

They played that song fair bit on the radio there too, didn't mind it.

Wasn't as good as their Frogstomp stuff though.




Never forget the first time I heard that song on Triple J, they sent it in on like a cassette tape and they were called the Innocent Criminals.

I remember thinking that is a great song but a terrible name for a band.

Then they changed their name to Silverchair and I still thought it was a terrible name for a band but then it caught on and I got used to it.

 

[Plugger35]

The best Silverchair song since Frogstomp.




Hard to believe they have haven't played at an AFL GF.

They would sh*t all over Tones and I.

 

[Roobs321]

Achtung Baby & Zooropa were U2's 2 best studio albums, so I'm fairly happy with their 90s.

Post-Frogstomp singles better than Straight Lines: all Diorama singles, Ana's song, Reflections of a Sound, Freak.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Freak is my all time favourite Silverchair song.

 

[Cleavy]

silverchair doesn't exist to me after Frogstomp and Freakshow (aside from Anthem for the Year 2000).

 

[Shell]

I agree but All You Can't Leave Behind was the exception in the U2 pop era.

How can you not be moved by Bono's heartfelt tribute to Michael Hutchence?




That is poetry.

Never knew that was about Michael until the mini series came out. (never knew the two of them were friends either) Just heart breaking.

 

[Cleavy]

Yep i remember Donahue, Sally Jesse Raphael, Oprah and Jerry Jerry Jerry

do you remember the parody show "Nightstand" which aired on the Comedy Channel?

Nah never really watched the Comedy Channel tbh

 

[Shell]

Listening to Zoo Station rn on my ipod. This would have to be one of the best intros of all time..

 

[Scotland]

I remember in the 1990s the Christian Television Association used to advertise on Channel 10 (in particular) all the time. And I don't mean at 3am either, during Saturday morning cartoons or NBL highlights hosted by Bill Woods. That sort of died in the arse. But now they have their own channels I guess.

You know how powderfinger were at times called the finger?
was silverchair every called the chair?

 

[Scotland]

I've heard Silverchair called the 'chair.

 

[Cleavy]

You know how powderfinger were at times called the finger?
was silverchair every called the chair?

yes. It was probably a JJJ or MMM thing.

 

[Hawk Dork]

90s produced some good Aussie music

 

[Gough]

My brother sent me The Soft and Sexy Sounds of Dave Graney, that and Hourly Daily were on high rotation in a corner of deepest darkest Berkshire for quite a while.

Slowly walking down the hall faster than a cannon ball? I was doing a lot of coke back then too but what the f*** was that about? Liam Gallagher is often both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious a lot of the time though.

This is what I'm talking about. A lot of Oasis's lyrics are just drivel. But you don't notice it/care because the songs are so catchy and listenable.

 

[perthblue]

Heard this song on the radio yesterday, reckon it's been at least 15+ years since I've heard it
