Final set. Two of the four ain't bad and almost made the list. I remember liking Milla's song back then but maybe I really just had a thing for Milla. Jann Arden, not so much.
I don’t think I would have predicted that Whale would make your list but Frente would not.
I really like the Des'ree record. It sounded like nothing else when it hit and - to me - was a breath of fresh air.
I think I just got annoyed at all the freshmen who didn't know Bizarre Love Triangle was a New Order song. Whale, OTOH, were wholly original.
I wonder how you cope with Gen Zers who don’t know what Bizarre Love Triangle, New Order or Frente are.scorchy said:
I think I saw Rollins do all of that album at CBGBs..or maybe the first Rollins band album...somewhere around this time. I partook waaaay too much that night, and like seeing The Big Lebowski, don't remember a freaking thing unfortunately...only the bass. I haven't listened to any of it in 20 years...I think Disconnect was off that album too- maybe not Beavis and Butt-Head worthy, but a better song.scorchy said:
This one became almost a satire of itself back then. But listening to it now...it's so damned catchy- perfect for 10yo floppinha to sing and play on guitar.Uruk-Hai said:

I got tired of Loser quickly when it came out. But Beck went on to do great things, and he may not have had the opportunity to do those things if not for the success of Loser, so I appreciate it in that way.
Lol. I'm trying to picture Billy Joel singing "I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death."
I’ve recently made the switch. I’ve seen KMFDM 3 times but never Thrill Kill. Two of the times were part of Wax Trax reunion specials along with Revolting Cocks and Front 242. Now Front 242….let’s talk!
Finally saw Front 242 late last year. They still put on a great show. Seeing Front Line Assembly for the first time next month. Should be awesome.
I've seen Front 242 twice. Once was at Lollapalooza where they went on at like 11 am - not really the ideal time for Belgian industrial.
CC is one of my wife's favorites, I've seen them live several times -- they're fine, I enjoy a bunch of their songs. Round Here is not one of them; when this comes on in our house I usually leave the room. Just sounds a bit whiny to me. Recovering the Satellites is a much better album than August & Everything After IMO, though my wife disagrees, ha.
I can't imagine the "cultural appropriation" jabs he would endure for those dreads now.ADDENDUM to the Duritz "Sideshow Bob" comment - in spite of that look, i will give dude credit for pulling a ton of A-List tail (and, of course, Winona Ryder is one)
so i'm sure he had 0 effs to give.
i like Dogma don’t know much else of theirsrockaction said:
I’ve had the privilege of seeing a few intimate-setting shows with other artists like the one you described with Durwitz and they are always a pleasure.
Was waiting for you to show up and diss CC. But man, comparing them to Spin Doctors is a low blow.I hope to never hear this song anywhere ever again.
I might even prefer a Spin Doctors song to this.
Funny you should mention Spin Doctors, as I passed Two Princes on the radio yesterday, and the thought occurred to me that, when it comes to songs that I once at least didn't mind that I now hate with a passion, I'm not sure there's another one that comes close.I hope to never hear this song anywhere ever again.
I might even prefer a Spin Doctors song to this.
I don't know if it got airplay, but I think "Goodnight Elisabeth" is my favorite from Recovering the Satellites.
