I would just like to note that apparently the title track of Wax Ecstatic is actually "Wax Ecstatic (To Sell Angelina)"

want to be pedantic about you including a song from Neil's '95 album instead of Broken Arrow, though

i'm just going to remove neil entirely then cuz broken arrow has great stuff but he kind of stopped being "alternative" after mirror ball, imo.

the first POTUSA record was the first CD i owned when i was a kid iirc

i'm listening to "tiny music" right now and this is OTM:
"Tumble in the rough" -> "big bang baby" - > "lady picture show" is a pretty awesome 3 in a row.. "Ride the Cliche" is great also.

I went to a PUSA show two years ago and literally everyone I saw was in their mid-20's. "People born in 1986" is basically their whole audience.

yeah, Neil was still headlining horde and doing crazy, post-sonic youth versions of "Like A Hurricane" in Jim Jarmusch directed footage, but if I was going to put a song from Broken Arrow on this it would be "Big Time" or "Music Arcade" and neither have anything to do with the other shit on the playlist while "I'm The Ocean" at least has Pearl Jam on it.

re: Factory Showroom, I pretty much only know the 3 songs they did on their live album a year or 2 later, but "SEXXY" "XTC Vs. Adam Ant" and "Til My Head Falls Off" are all decent IMO

I'd be more worried if 'Strange Attraction', 'Club America' or 'Bananafishbones' was her favourite Cure song, really.
― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Thursday, 3 May 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link
perhaps she's never heard "push"?

It was the '90s - "The Orange" and "County Scene" might well have been two separate bands.

Afghan Whigs - Black LoveI think most bands would have a hard time following up on Gentleman, which was excellent but also not a hit. Record is way dark and some of the lyrics might push it, but it’s Dulli, that guy isn’t exactly subtle. Definitely not one of the records for someone to check out first, but if you like the Whigs, you pretty much end up liking them all.
The Black Crowes - Three Snakes And One CharmI definitely give a longer look to these guys than many on ILX, where this band is pretty damn well hated by some. That said, this one isn’t nearly as good as the three before it even if you dig their shtick.
Bush - Razorblade SuitcaseKiller sound, but the tunes are not as catchy. Never ‘owned’ this one, but I had roommates and if you turned on an “X” station you couldn’t really avoid them.
Counting Crows - Recovering The SatellitesKind of see above, as you could hear them around. I kind of like some of their mopey popular tunes like “A Long December”.
The Cure - Wild Mood SwingsThis is the last Cure CD I bought and I don’t remember it much at all.
Metallica - LoadThis thing makes the black album seem like Masters of Reality. Heard it and thought it sucked. To me a big difference is that it didn’t sound like a band in a room, it had that real tight ass sound with all of the freaking life sucked out of.
Ministry - Filth PigIt’s way different than what Ministry had been doing, as I think they got over the whole speed thing and tried to go a different way and some of the fans just didn’t dig it. I kind of remember digging this one more than popular opinion which thought it was total crap. It wasn’t nearly as catchy as their last two records either, which didn’t help. My CD disappeared years ago though and I haven’t got it back. Probably could get this for a buck out some CD bins.
Neil Young - Broken ArrowTunes on this one are just not that great or memorable. This is a big shake above say Landing on Water and sounds a heck of a lot cooler, but after a few listens it is still on my shelf and I haven’t probably heard it in 15 years.
Porno For Pyros - Good God's UrgeThis band just pretty much sucked.
R.E.M. - New Adventures In Hi-FiI kind of which I had this CD, as borrowed it a long while after it came out and kind of dug it. Last REM I bought new was Out of Time.
Screaming Trees - DustCool and unique album and it caught on with like 150 people in the whole country.
Soundgarden - Down On The UpsideLike all of their A&M albums, they would probably make better 40 minute CDs instead of the long ones they did. I liked it, but definitely some of the indie rawk purists I knew f’in hated them.
Weezer – PinkertonI’ve only heard this one in passing. I heard their first one a ton and the one that came a couple years later from roommates a bunch.
