Supporting young musicians and artists and writers?
Several young students of music and writing would probably say yes.

I think Alfred was asking about your cat supporting young musicians and artists and writers.
― The Ghost Club, Saturday, 1 October 2022 22:48 (one year ago) link
Haha I just fed him some mushroom and he gobbled it up.

I try not to get too worked up by what gets considered a one-hit wonder, but I am a little surprised to see Arrested Development show up on Pitchfork's list of the best one hit wonders of the 90s. A flash in the pan? yes. But certainly not a one hit wonder, when People Everyday and Mr Wendal charted at around the same high ranking spots.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 4 October 2022 15:04 (one year ago) link
Yeah, a one-hit wonder with three Top 10 hits...
― hi hole im dad (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 4 October 2022 15:08 (one year ago) link
Which one is their one hit? Mr. Wendel and People Everyday have more Spotify streams than Tennessee.

arrested development is a one-album wonder, different thing

The list feels pretty... noncomprehensive, but I guess it's just meant to be a smattering of "favorites."
― Linkin Bio (morrisp), Tuesday, 4 October 2022 15:59 (one year ago) link
Tom Green. Everyone's favorite.

I seem to remember the Squirrel Nut Zippers' Hot being more of a one album wonder than Hell being a one hit wonder too. I see only Hell charted but "Put a Lid on it" and "Got My Own Thing Now" seemed like they got plenty airplay too -- it could have just been a local radio thing or that I'm confusing the ubiquity of the 90s swing revival with the one CD I bought from it though.

i only ever heard "hell" which was on vh1 every five minutes. love that song tho

My gf showed me the p4k 90s songs list the other day. I ctrl-f'd "Missy" and was very pleased.
In 2008 when I was a 20yo college radio DJ my station started holding regular 1990s dance parties. The top 25 of this list includes many of the songs I was most excited to play out, including their #1. My first thought is "Wow I really knew what was up," but the reality is probably just that this list was assembled by a bunch of 30something former college radio DJs with similar taste lol
For a look at how things have changed (or not), here is a playlist I made last year when I was trying to assemble a top 10 for each decade. I am a lot less high on either the boom bap or the shiny suit era hip hop than I used to be, but Nas will always have a place in my HOF https://open.spotify.com/playlist/32xQXPJ3kT1y0u9mEdKlS5?si=wlWHLakoRByn8dOA3-bhVg&utm_source=copy-link

ok so, afghan whigs, sonic youth, and pj harvey are grunge
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Thursday, 6 October 2022 17:43 (one year ago) link
I feel like the Whigs are at least defensible but not those other two.

Dirty is at least grunge-adjacent/informed, no?

Best Grunge was made in the 80s
― “uhh”—like, this is an insane oatmeal raisin cookie “uhh” (President Keyes), Thursday, 6 October 2022 18:02 (one year ago) link
idk, for some reason I always associated Experimental Jetset more with grunge than Dirty.
― a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 6 October 2022 18:46 (one year ago) link
Neither of them really sound "grunge" to my ears, but the former is just some weird association I've always held.
― a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 6 October 2022 18:47 (one year ago) link
If Dirty and Gish are grunge, then Come’s Eleven: Eleven sure as fuck is and needs to be there
Also, no Gits? Love Battery? What a basic list

“Best grunge was made in the 80’s”
I’d probably say so, given the work of Band of Susans and Live Skull
― beamish13, Thursday, 6 October 2022 19:13 (one year ago) link
Hardly think of those as grunge bands. Capital-G grunge in the '80s was, unfortunately, the likes of Green River or Mother Love Bone.
― The Ghost Club, Thursday, 6 October 2022 19:19 (one year ago) link
best grunge was in the 60s, blue cheer, everybody knows this is nowhere

Superfuzz Bigmuff, Ultramega OK and Bleach all feel like outliers rather than representative. The was a lot of unlistenable dreck in that late '80s Pacific NW scene.

they made a grunge list and didn’t include Screaming Trees? lmfao dumbass publication, no wonder i don’t read it any longer

Next thing you know they’ll do a list if 2000s minimal and leave Villalobos off the list

Was going to complain about this same glaring omission but noticed they threw Mark Lanegan on there to compensate, I guess
Like many of you I loathe all of these lists on general principle but I will concede I enjoyed the One Hit Wonders list, which was obviously not meant to be complete or exhaustive, and was just a fun read. I like a lot of those songs more than I remembered. That Sixpence None The Richer song sounds a lot better to me after not hearing it constantly in the 90s everywhere I went. Now I'm wondering if "Sex and Candy" and similarly once-ubiquitous hits have aged as well
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 7 October 2022 14:07 (one year ago) link
"Sex and Candy" reeked like a damp sock in 1998.
― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 7 October 2022 14:09 (one year ago) link
No argument. I associate it with that Sixpence song and a few others that seemed to follow me everywhere I went the year it was released
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 7 October 2022 15:22 (one year ago) link
Speaking from somewhere where it was only a minor hit (UK #29 but completely forgotten) I think Sex and Candy mystifies me more than any other US one hit wonder. It's so tuneless and comatose and it turned up very late.
