best radio rock songs from the early/mid nineties

[Fit of Rage]

Ah, closing time.

I know it wasn't on the radio much, but Pantera's cover of Cat Scratch Fever by Ted Nugent is absolutely wonderful.

[Cops]

I fucking HATE that song. HATE HATE HATE. It's not bad, but in Seattle it was overplayed so badly that it made me want to kill every time it came on. I still can't listen to it without getting the urge to find a clocktower.
let's see...

Crash Test Dummies- Mmmm (So bad, yet so memorable)
PUSA - Super Model
Nirvana - Plato
Butthole Surfers - Pepper
Reel Big Fish - Beer
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Rascal King
That dizneyland song.. god I can't remember the artist...
Trio-Da,da,da Although "fondly remembered" might not be the right description
Soundgarden - Spoonman
Soul Coughing - Super Bon Bon
Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike

wadi likes ska? HELL IS RAISING FROM THE GROUND UP.

Did you check out Reel Big Fish's new album? it's kinda crappy in my opinion.

zeus i think i'm missing the secret behind manic street preachers...sounds really generic to me

I'm a sucker for rock legacies. For the first three albums (Gold Against The Soul, Generation Terrorists and The Holy Bible) the band were a four piece, four lads from the Welsh Valleys. They had a weird set-up in that two of the band wrote the music and the other two wrote the lyrics, however what was key was that they were really political and ultimately wrote catchy songs. In 1991 guitarist Richey Edwards proved he was was for real by getting a knife and cutting the words FOR REAL into his arm. However he was a bit of a fruitcake and he committed suicide a few years later. The band decided to a carry on as a three piece from their 4th album Everything Must Go onwards, and despite that album being great all subsequant albums saw them deteriorate. They put on a good live show though

MSP... anything past their 4th album is part of their sell-out pop phase. I loved their stuff before that (they used to be my favourite band). Albums 1-4, the main strength is in the lyrics but I really love the music too. After that, their main lyricist went AWOL for whatever depressive reasons making their lyrics go from deep to cheesyshallowdeep.

1. Generation Terrorists: Anti-establishment Stadium Rock, 80 mins.
2. Gold Against The Soul: Angsty soft metal.
3. The Holy Bible: Fragile and suicidal, probably their best album.
4. Everything Must Go: That album bands tend to have that is still good, but just before they completely mainstream. Poppy but good.
5+ Shit shit shit shit shit.


Gimme a message if you want to have a listen to anything in particular. Not into them anymore at all, nowadays, give me "Don Caballero".

I own both Turn the Radio Off, and Why Do They Rock So Hard, but after that like 3/4s of the band quit, so it's not really the same. I got kinda in to Third Wave in High School, although not so much now.

That Temple of the Dog song I mentioned is one everyone knows, but doesn't thnk they know I'm guessing.

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Verve Pipe - The Freshmen (this song is ridiculously good)

...if you have a vagina.

[Dabram]

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69

Definatly. First album I bought as a kid was Bryan Adams' So Far So Good. Haha, best album ever!

[Mr. Peanuts]

Jesus Christ, please no.

...if you have a vagina.

I was actually going to say that but about the Breakfast at Tiffany's song.

ahh good stuff, don't bother touching another 'fish album they're headed straight down.

I've wondered who the hell did that song for years, but never bothered to look it up. Thanks.

I just remembered the crack cocaine of 90's radio rock: Offspring - Come Out and Play.

[Kim]

Which reminds me TK, sex and candy was one annoying song

[bloodzombie]

I HATE that stupid offspring song.
