Last minute before the next round...

Going to continue with the late 80s/90s dip into acoustic music.

14

Melissa Etheridge - Occasionally (1988)

This is a live version of the song. Zilla, you can use the version off her debut album. As she explains in the video, all she plays on this song is the back of an acoustic guitar for percussion. She has such a great voice.

Eric Clapton (Acoustic) - Tears in Heaven (1992)

This is the version off his 'Unplugged' Album. I have heard that he no longer plays this song, as the subject matter is just too tough.

Hadn't heard that Wilson Phillips song before.

Oof.

how is this possible

Heh - I was thinking the exact same thing. Then again, the song came out 26 years ago and I have no idea how old Abrantes is. If he is in his early 30s I could believe it - it isn't like people request that song.

:lmao: I was 8 in 1990, yeah. Could also be it never got a lot of play in Brazilian radio, mercifully, but I have no stats to back that up.

15.A "Carnival" - Natalie Merchant (1995) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ_Wqtnlv4U

These are for the 90s hippie chicks in my bar. Until Paula Cole came along, Merchant was the queen of the unshaven armpit fem-crew. "And Jakob! He's sounds like his daddy, but better!"

Both records have snaky beats and kinda off-kilter vocals that sound good.

I've gotten through the worst of my bad years now. I've got a few more recent years yet to take, but I'm not too worried about my targets getting sniped and, if they do, I can pick others off of the same albums and be just as happy.

 
Round 15 Double Shot

Your Time is Gonna Come - Led Zepplin - 1969

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZVsGxa_Vzk

Keep Your Hands to Yourself - Georgia Satellites - 1986

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0Ut6gen578

The Satellites song is a little cheesy but the lyrics are kind of clever and it rocks. I'm probably the only person on Earth (besides the band's immediate family members) that owned all three Georgia Satellites studio records and two Dan Baird solo records.

That GS record is FAR from the cheesiest taken in this draft. And, anyway, "cheese" ain't a bad thing on a jukebox.

 
Some Canadian power-pop with great lyrics...

She said, "You is funny"
I said, "You are funny"
She said, "Thank you"
and I said, "Nevermind"
She rolled her eyes
Her beautiful eyes

Sloan - Underwhelmed (1992)

Everyone who sees you thinks you should be smiling
That girl she's so pretty, that girl she's so beguiling
Everyone who sees you thinks you should be happy
Thinks you should coo-coo her and start acting all sappy

But it's hard to laugh when you know that she's been cheating
Had her hands around him and she's been giving it a beating

The Pursuit of Happiness - Hard to Laugh (1989)

15.a Midnight Oil, "Blue Sky Mine" (1990)

There isn't much of a better way to hook me at the start of a song than an instrumental introduction in which the parts join in sequentially to form the whole, long before the vocal ever begins. Make those sounds a flanged guitar, a Hammond, and a wailing French horn and you've got me for sure. NOW make the song about a despicable act of industrial corporate greed resulting in human suffering, and, yeah, this will make my playlist for the next, oh, 26 years and counting. The vocals from Peter Garrett and the backing musicians are also outstanding. An all-time classic for me.

15.b Lifehouse, "Smoke and Mirrors" (2010)

This outstanding track has been on infinite repeat in my car on many a long drive. The lyrics evoke Tom Petty, the overall musical approach suggests Rascal Flatts, the growling lead vocal is very similar to a lower-pitched Don Henley (complete with two nice backing harmonies and a fourth one I finally concluded that I've ghosted for years), and the familiar but always effective "loud Hammond B-2 stacking behind three R.E.M.-sounding guitar parts" chestnut (which recurs throughout my playlist) works perfectly. Nice percussion, too. Love this one.

There was another Midnight Oil song I really wanted, but I was bummed when I saw it was in a year I already drafted.

Same here - couldn't make it fit in a strong year.

Now that I'm immersed in the early '90s, I forgot how poor those years were. There were a couple of behemoth albums and as always, some good underneath the radar stuff, but overall pretty weak.

The 90s as a whole sucked for an average radio listener in comparison to previous decades. The internet hadn't gotten rolling on music yet and commercial radio was as conservative as it had ever been up until that point. I read somewhere several years ago that the 1990s had, by far, the fewest #1 singles of any decade in the rock era which meant "not much competition" and a log jam.

 
15.a - Alkaline Trio - 97 (1997) - :heart:

15.b - Dead Kennedys - Bleed For Me (1982) - Plastic Surgery Disasters

One hand touches the other, one hand touches the heart. Either way, brilliance on both ends.

The 90s were a very lucrative decade for the music industry. They made a ton of money reissuing catalog titles on CDs and spent a lot on hookers and blow. Downloading was a big deal then and the margins on CDs were huge.

I think the amount of money floating around had a negative impact on the art, at least in this country. Labels got into bidding wars for the next big thing. The bands got big advances that their debut albums couldn't possibly recoup. If the first albums tanked, the A&R people moved on to the next next big thing and the bands broke up after losing their deals. This cycle lead to the industry making safer bets on mainstream artists they thought would sell and on veteran artists who had an existing audience. REM's deal with Warners is the classic example of the latter. Based on a quick google, it was $80M for five albums, the first of which was New Adventures in Hi-Fi. And that's why Peter Buck can afford to tour with whoever he damned pleases now.

Yup, was wondering when One Headlight would finally be taken. Outstanding song (from a weak year).

Different tastes, and all that - 96 is one of the years i have the most options written down for.
Click to expand...
Yeah, our tastes definitely are a bit disparate. I like a lot of your selections, though. :)

1996 - 1998 look pretty slim on my playlist. I remembered hating almost all radio during that time period. There was only so much Lilith Fair radio one could handle before your soul started to shrivel up and die.

Then Napster and, more generally, the internet hit. And satellite radio. Then Tower Records went broke. And the music industry fought a rear guard battle against it, just digging in their heels instead of embracing the new tech. Just like cable companies, they are ####### themselves and don't know it.

Did you want it, or do you not want to ever hear it on our collective jukebox?In any case, I can be bought off rather cheaply.

I wanted it. No worries. I'll look for another cut of the album
