Bands From The 90s

I’ve always viewed the 90s (the decade in which I spent the majority of my 30s) as kind of a musical wasteland (mirroring my personal life), exemplified by grunge rock and rap. Ben and I were discussing this over lunch, and upon digging deeper, I actually remembered quite a few groups/performers that stood out for me during that time. And when pressed to start naming them, several immediately sprang to mind, which makes me realize that perhaps it wasn’t such a wasteland after all:

    • Cowboy Junkies
    • Melissa Etheridge
    • Duncan Shiek
    • KD Lang
    • Vonda Shepard
    • Hooverphonic
    • George Michael
    • Chris Isaac
    • Björk
    • Garbage
    • Pussy Tourette
    • Annie Lennox
    • Marla Glenn
    • The Sea And Cake
    • Engima
    • and of course continuing work from Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, and Madonna, arguably at the peak of their respective talents

What say you? Who springs to mind when you think of the 90s?

I Can Understand the Resurgence of Vinyl…

I was chatting with my buddy Ken a couple weeks ago, discussing our audio equipment, and he asked, “What cassette deck do you have these days?”

I told him I didn’t have a cassette deck—and in fact hadn’t owned one for nearly 20 years. He was flabbergasted, just couldn’t comprehend how I didn’t have one…
