Matchbox 20, The wallflowers, The gin blossoms, Sheryl crow, 3 doors down, Michelle branch, Alanis Morisette, Counting Crows, Howie Day, Third eye blind, Nirvana. I could go on and on man. My generations music is trash, 90's music was really music with real instrumentals. None of that computerized autotune shit, and no damn smartphones. People actually talked to people, every one is a zombie on their phones in this day in age. Its funny that my "generation" (especially hipsters) try to emulate the 90's style to a certain degree. No one is authentic anymore !

      90s music is what I grew up on. This, grunge, punk, anything on the local rock stations. But then I discovered Pantera. And Slayer. And Sepultura. And Lamb of God. My love for the guitar grew so much when I watched a video of Dime playing 'Domination' in Moscow '94. He became my idol, and metal is what I became. But still, I'll listen to the songs that remind me of when times were so much simpler, and this is one that I'll crank up in the car.

    This song helped me through a narcissistic abuse situation. This played on the radio when I was thinking about the future of my so called "relationship" with someone who "really had me going, wishing on a star". But the black holes that surrounded them were, indeed, heavier by far. But I was thinking it over anyway. Because I wanted to believe or imagine they really did care about me the way they pretended to. Despite all the ways they emotionally abused me. But this song helped seal my decision. I have no regrets. Because I, too, didn't suppose it was worth the price that I would pay had I continued. It wasn't worth the one I already paid. I feel a lot better now... still a lot of healing to do but it's a step up from where I was✌

      The best songs grab you after a few listens. But, it's a rare one that grabs you the very first time. They usually have an often repeated hook--either a sung or melodic part--that have you singing along with it by the end. This is one of those. I also liked and remembered it from the very first time. (Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald/G Lightfoot proves it can be done with no singing required in the hook).

Though the music of my youth is generally my favorite (at least my favorite to revisit it now and again) I've found great music in many decades. I did think earlier today that I am stuck in "English" music though. At least as far as language and geneology. I love me some classic Handell and Behothven as much as I love Green Day, Tonic, Stone Ponys, Sade, Nanci Griffith & Bob Mould.

When the 90’s ended, in the year 2000 was when you saw the 80’s bands reuniting because there was still a market for them. I don’t recall that for the 90’s, and trust me I was looking for them

    The summer I worked at A&P, Duncan Sheik was appearing at PNCArts Center in NJ. They promoted the hell out it at A&P and every 20 minutes an ad for the concert came on with just the chorus playing. Stuck in my head forever.

    I haven’t heard or thought of this song since it originally came out…last night I woke up in the middle of the night signing it in my head for some reason. I googled the few lyrics of the one verse I had in my head, got the music video, and I still knew all the words. Like it was yesterday.

    90s!!!! I recall this song hitting big in 1997. I was between my junior and senior years of high school that summer and working at a crappy grocery store as a cashier. I hated that job then, but I look back on it now with good memories. This song was ALL over the radio around that time, and it got lots of airplay well into 1998. Now I'm instantly transported back to those days when I hear this. To be that young again, haha. Great song.
