you and me both but i'm more mainstream 90s
a few of my faves from back in the day, unfortunately one of my favourites went by the name Pure, make searching for songs like Anna, Denial, Lemonade, or Chocolate Bar more or less impossible. the album this came from was quite literally all over the place, spanish rap? check, a song about farts? check, old school spiderman theme? check, a tune about reservoir dogs? check, a king crimson cover to close it all? Red. good fun and a much better band name / single / album than anything the released after renaming themselves to finger eleven. esthero - if more pop stars followed her path maybe more than easily impressionable teenagers would pay legitimate attention to the mainstream. i was lucky enough to see her the summer this came out prior to splitting with her producer. anyone who's ever read any comment i've made about Canadian music should have know this band would be listed here. one of my favourite tracks from their entire catalog too bad there are only like 5 of their tracks on youtube. |

I've been meaning to check out Glueleg but trying to find a CD by them is next to impossible, at least for me. The guy who introduced me to The Gandharvas was the one who told me about them and also got me into some of the older stuff by The Tea Party.
Good call with Esthero, but the only album I really liked was Breath From Another, but it was a really ****ing good album. |

@Pete - i was actually thinking of old Tea Party when making my first choice of clips but found the Rainbow Butt Monkeys first haha give me a couple of days to dig through my crap to find my Glueleg discs and i'll hook something up. for now here's the classic opener to the Tea Party's 'Edge's of Twilight' album for those who've never heard it. i remember being in like grade 11 and my friend's telling me of this new band that sounded like Jim Morrison singing for Led Zep and i doubted them. i stopped doubting about 4 seconds in haha as for Esthero i totally agree 'Breath from Another' is a fantastic disc although i'm left to wonder how much of it was due to Doc's production and musicianship. i never actually managed to get her 2nd full length but i had the single for 'OG Bitch' and 'We are in need of a musical revolution', they aren't bad discs but lack that special something from her debut. although the EP features the closing track 'Amber and Tiger's Eye' which is reminiscent to her early stuff. unfortunately not on youtube... BUT i did find this most excellent clip showing her live potential. i was 10 when this song came out. i didn't quite get it then. but it's hard to not f*cking love it as you get older haha oh man, it links to the Northern Pikes hahaha i shouldn't go back that far. enjoy getting this unstuck from your head i like the album this is on (Glee) so much i've bought it twice. i still think it's a great track and there's just something about the brunette backup singer |
