"Swallowed" is a horror
― some dude, Friday, 25 May 2012 15:19 (twelve years ago) link
I really like the sound of "Swallowed", which is probably largely thanks to Albini.
I really think Bush in general would have a far better rep if they could somehow keep Rossdale the riff-maker from Rossdale the singer

Is Pearl Jam into their sensitive-guy phase yet? Add them to the Green Day list.

doesn't that sum up most acts from this era?

xp Looking at the Billboard 100, my most played 1996 song -must- be No Diggity, then Digging on You because I play CrazySexyCool all the time. I can dig it. /groan

the time between this pearl jam song and the first creed song must have been a painful time for some rock fans

Not just Gibby, but Lou Barlow made Top 40 Airplay this year. Their Alternapop Crossover Changed My Life.

Yeah, I totally remember it being really weird that both BS and Sebadoh got top 40 that year.

Primitive Radio Gods for me. Never liked 1979, and No Code has some way better tracks.

I have that PRG song in my head now but I don't now, nor have I ever known the words so it's just nonsensical humming going on. ARGH! Also, I associate this with that White Town song that was big around then even though they don't sound alike.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 25 May 2012 15:28 (twelve years ago) link
You know the largely-forgotten '96 alt-radio song I remembered recently and realized is pretty effing tight? Imperial Drag - "Boy Or A Girl".

Yeah, it's a good song. Was the Sneaker Pimps big hit also around then?
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 25 May 2012 15:29 (twelve years ago) link
I think of Sneaker Pimps as very early '97.

The Saint soundtrack
btw LimbsKing i believe you said you're new here, and i would like to welcome you and make a friendly suggestion to a) jump into the conversation on your threads more and b) try to space these things out a bit so that we don't have 3 very similar threads at the top of new answers at the same time.

This is helping me pass this horribly slow day at the office before a long weekend quite nicely.

These threads, I mean.
i too have no problem with the board being clogged with 90s nostalgia
― da croupier, Friday, 25 May 2012 15:32 (twelve years ago) link
hey i have no prob with the threads, i'm just saying that having so many in action at once is both confusing for the people reading them and probably annoying for those that aren't
― some dude, Friday, 25 May 2012 15:32 (twelve years ago) link
OK, thanks for the tip. I wasn't sure of the protocol... nor did I think that these would become so popular.
― LimbsKing, Friday, 25 May 2012 15:33 (twelve years ago) link
I loooove Your Woman. And 90s nostalgia!
Folk Implosion! I tried to find 'Kingdom of Lies' which was the only song I really knew by them and it wasn't on iTunes. Jerks.

There was a video for Natural One. It had earthworms in it or something along those lines.

xp I think Kingdom of Lies was on the A Life LEss Ordinary soundtrack, which naturally I flocked to post Trainspotting/Ewan McGregor fangirling
Wow 90s rap was so much better than the rock but I never gave it a chance at the time! Except I loved Exhale (Shoop) because I bought the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack for that TLC song. I need to find that TLC song!
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Friday, 25 May 2012 15:37 (twelve years ago) link
I probably listen to "Come On Ride That Train" almost as much as any alternative song from '96, tbrr.
― Quiet Desperation, LLC (Deric W. Haircare), Friday, 25 May 2012 15:37 (twelve years ago) link
wow i had no idea that "If Your Girl Only Knew" peaked before "Pony"

Oasis, "Wonderwall" - for some reason I willfully ignored these guys at the time - too British?Smashing Pumpkins, "1979" - loved this albumAlanis Morissette, "Ironic" - ...Oasis, "Champagne Supernova" - long and boringCranberries, "Salvation" - don't remember this at allTracy Bonham, "Mother, Mother" - Great angsty '90s one hit wonder - better than all Alanis songs combinedDishwalla, "Counting Blue Cars" - this is when even 13 year old me started to think alt rock had lost its way. Basically Hootie & the Blowfish alternative. It's still in my 90s iTunes playlist though.Butthole Surfers, "Pepper" - at the time seemed like a good bookend to "She Don't Use Jelly" - nice guitar riff - I prefer King Missile's "Detachable Penis"Primitive Radio Gods, "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth..." - does anyone really think this song would have been big if the title were 2 words long?Pearl Jam, "Who You Are" - dreadful311, "Down" - I admit to liking this song at the time...Eels, "Novocaine for the Soul" - forgettableSublime, "What I Got" - has aged much better than 311 - harmlessBush, "Swallowed" - gross
― skip, Friday, 25 May 2012 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
I have never heard this Dishwalla song before in my life
i have a hard time believing this, and expect you're in for an OH THAT SONG unless this was written while listening to it
This happened to me, too, with the added twist that for the first five seconds I was like "huh, maybe I've never heard this before, but whoever made this song listened to Document really carefully and have taken pains to construct a guitar/drums opening that sounds like a lost track off that great record" and then the singing starts and OH NO NOT THAT SONG
This whole period was very painful to R.E.M. fans since I think a lot of these groups sincerely and vocally saw themselves as carrying on some version of the R.E.M. project (this is true of Live and Counting Crows at the very least)
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 25 May 2012 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
to those of us who, haters that were & are, had always disliked R.E.M., this era was a vindication of the hateration we'd been nurturing since Chronic Town
