Just boarded a 2 hour flight and I think my picks are coming up.
Can I send someone a couple picks?

Entirely due to overexposure in my case. Like Loser, it's an extremely overplayed first hit from an artist that went on to do much more interesting things.
At least Radiohead got some of its better work on the list, unlike poor Beck.

10.18 (No. 42) -- Redemption Song -- Bob Marley
I was issued my copy of Legend like every guy my age upon entering college. This has always been my favorite. Maybe because the specific Rastafarian religious elements feel completely alien to me. Anyway, I like my Marley stripped down.

Also outrageously fun to sing. I haven't done full blown karaoke of it, but I've knocked it out on Rock Band at a firm event.

ANNOUNCE: Beginning with ROUND 11, we will have a two hour and 27-minute clock for the rest of the weekend, from 8 a.m. PDT to 8 p.m. PDT. On Monday, we will switch to a faster clock TBD, and we'll make the hours a little shorter on the back end so that the east coasters won't kvetch.
Sincerely,
Mgmt.

@Pip's Invitation, I suggest just giving another five minutes in case Eephus didn't leave yet, and then go ahead.

You gotta get the actual albums not just the greatest hits.....but I get the point.....you could say the same thing about phish.....every other dude I knew in college was into Phish or widespread panic.....or (insert pot head jam band)
And people listening to music that they like the sound of, but don't really get the message is hardly unique to Marley......the fact is Marley and the Wailers we're reeeeeally good and that's why they reached such a large audience

10.22 Up on the Roof -- The Drifters (#375; bloc 351-375)
This bloc was down to 9 "no hesitation" picks for me, few of which I felt really strongly about, and is full of "hesitation" picks I don't like/care about at all, so now is the time.
One of my favorite pre-British Invasion songs, this was written by wikkid's nemesis Carole King with her then-husband Gerry Goffin. It hits on a favorite theme of mine, finding a special place/thing/state of mind that helps take you away from the hassle of everyday life. King has performed it herself, as has her friend James Taylor.

Not in college in the early 90s, you didn't. You had Nevermind or 10 or August and Everything After or 3 Years, 5 Months, and 2 Days in the Life Of ... New albums by new acts. But everyone also had a bunch of greatest hits CDs of legacy acts. Marley's Legend. The Queen, Steve Miller, and The Eagles greatest hits CDs. Prince's The Hits. The Rolling Stones' Hot Rocks. And I didn't have actual albums like Exile on Main St., or Sign O' the Times until later.

I can't even explain the Steve Miller thing. I wasn't exactly invited to all the ragers in high school, but I got out a bit. I don't think I ever heard Steve Miller played at a party. Only on the classic rock station. And then I get to college and every party someone is playing Take the Money and Run and people are doing the clapping. My wife went to college 1000 miles away from where I did, and it was the same thing.

Yea I hear ya......I was in college in the late 90's and collected all the Marley stuff on CD but I get ur point. I also collected all the stones on CD at the same time.....my dad was way more of a Beatles guy so I didnt get much other than what was on the radio until college-ish years

I think Scrapple is gross, but I love pork roll/Taylor ham. Go figure.

I went in the early-to-mid 90s back when our bookstore was really the place you might find something cool. Borders and Barnes And Noble weren't up and going where I went to school until a few years after that, but once one found them, that was like an oasis in an area that had nothing in the way of record stores.

Was in college in the early '90s, can confirm. I was one of the first adopters of Phish on my campus, that didn't become a huge thing on campuses outside New England and upstate New York until the mid-90s.

For some reason, I just love James Taylor's version of this.
Actually, I do know the reason I'm just too embarrassed to share

I mean, we definitely were aware of them. The kind of move to the newer generation of jam bands was just happening Dave Matthews was a big thing at my school because he was still playing Trax directly over the mountain in Charlottesville every Wednesday night or something (I think his major label debut was my junior year or something). And our most popular band composed of guys from our school, Everything (you might remember they had a cup of coffee with the charts with Hooch), went from being a band that did pretty generic white guy funk to a band that did pretty generic jam band stuff.

I guess going to a boarding school in Massachusetts during the '91-'92 year has me thinking that people were early adopters of Phish. That's all our student radio station played back then. I was a post-graduate and remember that jam bands were the musical currency there. Blues Traveler, Phish, the Spin Doctors were all pretty popular among the popular set. There was very little of what I was into, actually, though the grunge scene swept culture so definitively that most of the kids by the end of the year were into those bands that I'd been listening to all year.
I remember hanging with the music hispters and got introduced to some really good stuff that way that wasn't in the jam band vein. But jam bands dominated that scene.
Different places, different classes (I was thoroughly middle class and out of place), different tastes. It really depended on where you were, what exact years you were, and etc., etc.

In Oregon in the mid/late 90's we used to go to a fair amount of local band shows. Floater is the band we used to try and see as much as possible.....Corvallis, Eugene, Bend, Portland.....they played bars and smaller venues and they were awesome!! Always surprised me they didn't make it big......equally surprised Everclear (same era, same area) did make it big.

I CAN'T STAND that song. It's literally one of the worst things I've ever heard on the radio.
Sorry if you're friends with them.

It's terrible. I do not have the freshy, freshy.
In college, their most popular song was called Soul Fish. Which went from being like a five minute, silly funk thing to a 13 minute extended jam over the course of my college career. The length of Soul Fish is a far more accurate dating device than tree rings or carbon dating if you're looking at the years of 1991 to 1996.

The other popular local band at my school, who never sniffed a major label or the charts, was called Johnny's Heritage. And they were awful in exactly the way you'd think a early 90's college band would be. So one year, my friends and I took a spring break to New Orleans and we saw the lead singer of that band in some bar on Bourbon St. And my friend Rob delivered the greatest low key burn when he mentioned he was with a band. "I know, my friends are fans."

BT/Phish/SD was definitely a regional thing until SD started having radio hits (and the first HORDE tour happened, which was around the same time.)
On my campus in NJ, there was a lot of BT adoption in '90 and '91 because it was well-known they were locals. The Phish/SD connections to the area were not known until later. You started hearing SD out of dorm windows once they started having hits, but for Phish, that wasn't happening until my senior year (fall '92/spring '93), and even then, with much less frequency than BT/SD. Panic was a nonentity. I never heard them until after I graduated.
"College rock" and grunge (as well as "classic rock") were much more prevalent than jamband stuff. That likely changed shortly after I graduated.
