1994-1995 was a lovely era for music.

Digable Planets/Blowout Comb


Portishead/Dummy


Björk/Post


Hole/Live Through This


Weezer/blue album



those are the kind of songs that are so intrinsic to my being that they could wake me out of a coma, for real.

You were significantly hipper at 13 than I was, I'll guarantee that.

Stevie Wonder - Superstition

War - Cisco Kid

Todd Rungren - Hello It's Me

Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar

Jimmy Castor - Troglodyte

Eddie Kendricks - Girl You Need A Change of Mind

OK, I have to think about what was goin on in 84

Oh wait, that would be the entire album and B-Sides galore:

:jealous: I think that was my grade 9 (throwback) joint.

When you were in the 8th grade I as 24-25

All the music from around then was hipper in general.

Prince - Sign 'O' the Times


Cyndi Lauper - True Colors


Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill


Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet


Janet Jackson - Control

As I typed this out, I just came to the realization that this was twenty years ago for me.

There's that element to it, certainly - but you were listening to Portishead for god's sake.

in grade eight.

I was listening to k-tel compilations at that age.

Grade 8? I guess i was around 12/13 years old so.....


nirvana
oasis
cream
eric clapton
dire straits (knofler was my guitar hero when I was first trying to play)
Queen
Cast

cant remember the rest. Quite different to now though. Now iam a walking, living and breathing in music from my childhood and that era. My love for newjack died for years until around 17 years old, and my tastes were considered quite cool back then. Infact, they always were, even as a 6 year old.

Now my collection is the biggest joke around LOL

and I had to sneak this one in the house:

Not quite as scary as when I went out shopping this week trying to find a CD copy of Don't Be Cruel. Most of the stores did NOT carry this album (which I assumed was an essential catalog album like Tracy Chapman's `88 joint) and that's if they carried Bobby Brown at ALL. They had a bunch of Chris Brown though.

I was with my friend who is 6 years younger than me and he was asking me to break down exactly what I was looking for!

"I don't want a 20th Century Masters millenium hits compilation; I want Don't Be Cruel".

I finally went to a used store and bought these:

Bet you don't have "she ain't worth it" do you?

CinisterCee said:

Pfft! I bet you don't have any Jennifer Love Hewitt either?

RipHer2Shreds said:

or the album by that chick from Who's The Boss

Oooh Lawd.....not Craig Mack!! I used to wear the Flava in Ya Ear Remix out!

I've had to replace this cd three times:

My, how the tables have turned.

Look what CD I bought for $2.99 this week:

I'll have to check my facts, but I seem to recall reading that one of her albums kept Madonna out of the #1 spot in Japan. Sounds too good to be true.
