Pumpkins = Smashing Pumpkins.
Gish, Adore, Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie and the Infinte Sadness – all released in the 90’s. The bulk of their career.

If your list went to 1989 – The Pixies and Operation Ivy. Basically informed the next wave…

First off, Clover is such an obscure reference that unless your’e older than 30, I don’t think you’ve ever even heard of it. Also I’ve never even heard of Pavement or Pumpkins.

Second, the responses I’ve gotten through Facebook and the comments have been great. I would most certainly add Live to the list. Fantastic album with I Alone, Selling the Drama, Lightning Crashes, and All Over You. I wasn’t a huge Offspring fan although I do recognize that Smash was better than Americana and should make the list for its popularity.

I have the same story as Gourlay – but I rode my bike miles away to Clover, to get the Posse and Aladdin soundtrack. Btw – the Aladdin soundtrack should be on this list. Timeless.

This is probably closer to my list – from my experience. Radiohead and Pavement dominated the 90’s . Pumpkins also released the bulk of their work during this period (and should be visited/revisited in full). The Roots “Things Fall Apart” was pretty strong as well. And Billy Bragg!

Weezer, Oasis and Green Day were certainly in the rotation…

That’s actually a hilarious story, Gourlay.

After this list being up for a few hours and getting some feedback amazingly, I already would knock out the WallFlowers and Boyz 2 Men and add the Offspring and Sublime album.

The first album I ever bought was Offspring’s “Americana”. I rode my bike to the mall by myself when I was like 10 and then came home and put it in the CD player in my room. I skipped to “Why Don’t You Get a Job” because that was my favorite song, and I turned it up to full volume.

The song starts out “My friends got a girlfriend, he hates that bitch”. My mom heard that, came upstairs, took the CD, and I never saw it again.

I spent 10 bucks or whatever it was to listen to a CD for a total of 10 seconds.

I actually think this list is awesome and pretty accurate. Jagged Little Pill was my first CD ever.

Can’t argue Sheryl Crow, I definitely would have put that over WallFlowers.

Didn’t you read the intro, Radiohead doesn’t do it for me.

I also have an early tee-time on Saturday so I’ll be back for Soccer by 3.

Tuesday Night Music Club – Sheryl Crow

Also, not having Pablo Honey, The Bends or OK Computer on here…wow. Or *NSYNC.
