Got any songs that are from that era, and are your favorites?
Anyone else remember these guys? I feel like this was their biggest song, but it could very well be that I just don't remember the others, since this was so long ago (1992). I saw these guys live at some festival back in the mid-1990s, and I thought they were pretty good for having one of the worst band names I've ever heard (and that means a lot in the 1990s...I'm looking at you, Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Melon, and so on!). It feels to me like they were the inverse of the 'grunge' that was popular once Nirvana broke: softer, more melodic, but still vaguely weird enough to be included in 'alternative' (but not so weird like Sonic Youth, Ween, etc) -- like something they could still play on VH1 (not just MTV), so long as it was after 9 pm.
Another strong candidate in the Horrible Band Name contest, but these guys also had the misfortune to rip young me off by releasing one good single (heh) on an album full of crud, which I've never forgotten or forgiven them for. I was so sad when I got home and listened to the whole thing and had to skip everything that wasn't the hit (which, now that I listen to it again for the first time in 25 years, really isn't that great; they chose an appropriate name for it). If mp3s/itunes/spotify had been around back in 1995 so that people could just buy the single track, their terrible album would've never have gone platinum.
That guy can really scat / beat box!I find myself gravitating more to the country music of the 90s as I age and away from most of the rock. I was playing in school sports when the Nu-Metal craze kicked off and that was the regular fare in the locker room. Then we got emo/pop-punk a couple of years later which didn't even have the ridiculous masculinity of the Nu-Metal.
I still think this is the coolest music video of that era though, even better than the Evanescence one mentioned earlier:
It was more the aesthetic than the music. I don't remember anyone doing a cartoon like that before Korn. And the edginess of tracking the bullet.That guy can really scat / beat box!
