If anybody is itching for a project and wants to gather all of the songs in this thread into a super-mix, please do. Sendspace it so I can drink too much and rock out '90s style with sing-alongs and everything some time. I'll post video of my performance as thanks.

1) :beer

2) :music

3) :dancing

I've always found that i can never remember the most of the artists of the 90's. But if you play me a song from that decade i can probably sing all the words to it.

Anything by the Spin Doctors.

They were pretty fun. I didn't see the connection with jambands, but they did get lumped in with them.

 

I always liked Cracker - I thought "Low" was a pretty decent tune.

They wore silly hats, right? I think that's what it was.

There's a song I'm blanking on - the artist was a dude with a name that I'm confusing with "Edwin McCain" and the song had "girl" in the title, and it was a crooner-type performance (kinda Bowie-esque vocals) with a fuzz guitar hook. It's become an AOR favorite, but when it first came out (96ish?) it was pretty cool.

 

dude, check out his tune 'adidas world' as well. i'm not liek a huge fan or anything, but i that it was just as fun as 'girl like you'.

 

L7 - pretend that we're dead

young black teenagers - tap the bottle (maybe not alternative, but it sure reminds me of the 90's)

too much joy - that's a lie

I was thinking about too much joy last week, couldn't think of the name of ths song. I remember when they got pinched for covering 2Live Crew.

 

it's actually a LL cool j cover...we used to play it in our apartment all the time back in college. yep, i remember the 2 live crew thing as well.

Magnapop, "Slowly Slowly"

Ride, "Vapour Trail"

Adorable, "Homeboy"

Kitchens of Distinction, "Drive That Fast"

:wub

 

And though I know it's no great shakes to hear songs in advertisements these days, I gotta say I did a double take recently when I heard $*%&!@ Kula Shaker pop up in two commercials. :hmm

Belly - Feed the Tree

 

Good one!

 

Which reminds me of:

"Cannonball" - The Breeders

 

(Tanya Donneley was on the first Breeders record)
