I used to record Dr Demento's show on cassette tapes with my little boom box.....good times!Did you listen to Dr. Demento? It was a syndicated show featuring musical humor. He played this all the time.

Same here.I used to record Dr Demento's show on cassette tapes with my little boom box.....good times!
First time I've ever heard it, actually. I was young...but so were you! I just don't remember it.
that Bilbo song is wildAt the time, I didn't. Not sure if it was on in my town. But Bob The Dragon would play his homemade tapes a lot freshman year. It's how i first heard Leonard Nimoy's Bilbo Baggins and some bizarre ode to Hyapatia Lee.

Oops. I meant 1992. Or maybe I didn't. I'm all confused. Outside doing yardwork so can't check the wiki.This slipped by. Is there a Pantera fan that would roll his eyes at a song off of Vulgar?
I think I know which one it is. That's still a (probably too intensely macho) good song, though Anselmo's preening takes on a different meaning these days. It's sorta ugly.

There was one song from '93 off of a '92 album that was released as a single. You might have it totally right.Oops. I meant 1992. Or maybe I didn't. I'm all confused. Outside doing yardwork so can't check the wiki.

Far Behind was 1993
gotcha, I'm guessing most of what I listed was '93?
Ehhh it’s not terrible. More than I was thinking that I don’t feel like listing right now. Maybe will break it down laterI was about to come in hear and kick and scream because no country songs and then I looked at the actualy country songs this year.
What a gosh darn nightmare. Just absolutely awful. Nice job by Scorchy not forcing a genre into the mix. JFC, was it bad.
Never heard the MC Solaar track or Guru.Gang Starr--Mass Appeal
Digable Planets--9th Wonder
I was early to the gangsta rap scene, and by 1994, I was more turned on by the jazzy Native Tongues stuff. If anyone is unfamiliar, check out Guru's 1993 Jazzmatazz Vol 1, and thank me later.
Songs there is no excuse to leave off, and shame on you:
James--Laid
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds--Red Right Hand
Yup - at least according to wikipedia and discogs. It can get complicated when the single was released at different times in different countries or hit the charts in the year following the release.gotcha, I'm guessing most of what I listed was '93?
Cake and Sodomy and Get Your Gunn both packed the floor at my club. Unfortunately, I've had to retire my "3 am breakfast at Denny's with Marilyn Manson" story in light of recent allegations.Nothing from Korns self titled (Blind, Ball Tongue, Shoots and Ladders) or Marilyn Manson Portrait of An American Family? I mean who doesn’t like Cake and Sodomy?
Manson is one messed up guy but that American Family album absolutely rocks. My brother suggested I buy it since I liked NIN. I really got into Mansion for a few years and seeing him live was always a blast.Nothing from Korns self titled (Blind, Ball Tongue, Shoots and Ladders) or Marilyn Manson Portrait of An American Family? I mean who doesn’t like Cake and Sodomy?
Solaar and Guru actually recorded together at some point. For real, that Jazzmatazz album is a classic, you will dig itNever heard the MC Solaar track or Guru.
As for the rest, Gang Starr (and Bone Thugs N Harmony) were both on the last 4 out list and Digable Planets weren't on my radar after Reachin'.
I do have an excuse for Laid - my sources say 1993. For Nick Cave, I just never got it. Take away my goth card now...
I actually had never really listened to Failure until I heard Wild Type Droid by chance a few months ago....I really dig the album. I need to explore their catalog for sure.Great stuff, scorchy.
Obviously Cobain's death was the watershed music moment for me in 1994. It happened right after my birthday, which made it even more of a downer.
But the moment in 1994 that had the biggest impact on my tastes today happened on Valentine's Day. I went to see Tool on Valentine's Day, because why wouldn't a young single guy do that in the '90s? That's not what made the lasting impression, though; I drifted away from Tool a few years later. Rather, it was my first exposure to the opening band, Failure. I went through my history with them in this post so I won't rehash it here, but today I probably listen to them more than any other band I discovered in the '90s. A few songs from their 1994 album Magnified would make my top 100 for the year.
I know its easy to bash on pop, but there is a lot of skill and craft that goes into making these songs. Ace of Base could definitely deliver catchy pop.Luckily for me, only one was released in '94 (Don't Turn Around). According to my research, The Sign was a huge hit in '94 but was released the year earlier and All That She Wants the year before that. For the record, I consider the latter two "pleasures" rather than "guilty pleasures."
Loved reading the Failure story - thanks for linking. Crazy the power that music can hold.But the moment in 1994 that had the biggest impact on my tastes today happened on Valentine's Day.

Yeah, I never got the outsized hatred for all things "pop" either. Even at my most pretentious in regards to music (roughly, most of my teenage years), I was still buying Bo Donaldson, BC Rollers, and John Denver records. I'd just hide them when my equally pretentious friends came overI know its easy to bash on pop, but there is a lot of skill and craft that goes into making these songs.

Definitely. The album that’s considered their best is Fantastic Planet (1996).I actually had never really listened to Failure until I heard Wild Type Droid by chance a few months ago....I really dig the album. I need to explore their catalog for sure.
