I never would have expected to have someone mention this. Back in my weed smoking days we considered this album one of our anthems.

It was the first album I loved from the first to last song. To me it was poetry set to music. I still listen to it occasionally and still never skip a song.

A ex-girlfriend made an overture after our breakup by putting two albums she thought I would like on an extended play tape. One side was A Storm in Heaven by Verve, the other was Exile in Guyville by Liz Phair. She was right on the money with those, I got the tape right before going on a long road trip with my buddy to go hiking in the Smoky Mountains, and popped it in the tape deck as we were heading out. We listened to those two albums the whole 5 hour car ride there, and the whole ride back. I eventually got both albums on CD but until then that tape got a lot of use.

King's X - The self titled album.

Came out in '92, and is still criminally forgotten, as are their first three albums. Just brilliant songwriting from start to finish. There's a reason King's X always catches the label "Your favorite band's favorite band."

Jesus did you hack my Reddit? Where’d you grow up?

[-]

GoldenMonkeyRedux@reddit

Hah, believe it or not the Appalachians in PA. Completely outside civilization.

Pretty sure I figured those out from SPIN or some alt magazine that we could get very rarely.

Luckily, I could receive the radio signal from a college somewhat nearby.

Got to see both The Cure and Depeche Mode on those album tours by a friend's dad driving us into Philly when I was in high school. Nose bleed seats, but freaking awesome.

[-]

BeforeLongHopefully@reddit

Yeah I loved Spin too. I grew up in a small city where I could go to a proper record store and I made friends not into metal or classic rock, the seemingly only music choices. In Canada where I’m from our version of MTV played a ton of videos from the UK which helped.

Into Kate bush? REM? Radiohead?

[-]

GoldenMonkeyRedux@reddit

Much Music? I watched the heck out of it. We strangely received the signal via our ancient gigantic satellite dish which we got when I was a teen.

And yeah, I love those acts/bands. I had to decide between The Cure or REM because they played on the same day. I stick by The Cure. My brother went to the University of Georgia and ran into Stipe often.

Kate Bush is very popular in our house, but Radiohead is way up on my pantheon. I own a ridiculous amount of their vinyl.

[-]

BeforeLongHopefully@reddit

Awesome. Yes Muchmusic! It got all the huge American stuff like the thriller world premier (it felt like my whole city, or at least my block totally stopped everything for that) but was very heavy on Canadian and British artists which was great.

Moved to the Boston area in my late 20s and that really opened up my ability to see amazing concerts so was lucky enough to see 3 Radiohead shows including the kid a tour and the HTTT tour which were so so good. Say REM too. Even saw the beasties.

[-]

GoldenMonkeyRedux@reddit

Hell yeah. I saw the B-Boys twice in Japan in small clubs on the Hello Nasty tour. Got to meet Adam Y at one of those shows . the Boredoms unexpectedly opened.

Tapes in the 90s? Trust me, we were desperate to move away from tapes by then. The CD technology was just taking hold and it was MUCH preferred over tapes. No more having to skip through 3 songs on >>FFWD to get to the one you like.

As for today, I drive a 1999 Toyota that has a tape deck. You can be sure I'm listening to my tapes and not the CDs. The CDs skip, which we later learned happens, but not before we got rid of, or put in storage, all our cassettes. Thrift stores and hip 2nd hand stores are my friend now! Peter Murphy, Catherine Wheel, The Replacements, INXS, Depeche Mode, Motley Crue, Ozzy, AC/DC. I like it all!

I'm a big Genesis/Phil Collins fan. Phil's divorces helped him crank out some bangers back in the day, but unfortunately his absence in his family played a hand in it. There was controversy when he divorced his wife via fax too.

Do you know of the band God Lives Underwater? They were a mix of industrial with a very 90s vocal style. The first album was released in '95.

Arc Angels.

They were a band out of Austin that had two young singer/guitarists and the bass and drummer from Stevie Ray Vaughan’s band. They made one album and it is a masterpiece. Unfortunately, one of the young guys developed a drug problem and the band had to break up. The good news is that guitarist is Doyle Bramhall II, who recovered and has played in Eric Clapton’s band for 20 years. The other guitarist, Charlie Sexton, went on to be a band leader for Bob Dylan and Roger Waters.

If they would have stayed together, they would have been huge.
