Another Nashville favorite, David Mead, who had the gorgeous tenor, the perfectly crafted pop songs, and enough good looks to beg the question why he never made it bigger. Most of his albums were in the 00s, but his debut was '98 or '99, and it's filled to the brim with memorable melodies and arrangements. DAVID MEAD - WORLD OF A KING (which apparently was on the soundtrack to a terrible movie)
David Garza has had brushes with fame - and certainly famous friends and supporters - but he never broke thru despite a terrific debut and wall-to-wall TV placement in those Best Buy "you don't know me, but you will" ads they used to run for artists in the late 90s. This song still smokes. DAVID GARZA - GLOW IN THE DARK
From a similar thread Forgotten Gems of the 90's This was a fairly big hit in England and mainland Europe in 1995 or so; it made it to a volume of the UK version of Now That's What I Call Music! But it didn't make any national chart in the U.S., even though the group was from North Carolina and had four previous hits on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. I never heard this song in the 1990s; in fact, the first tine I ever heard it was in early 2016, on a local college radio station. Here's " '74-'75 " by the Connells:
a recent discovery for me .... ACETONE - come on ACETONE - all you know "All You Know" Acetone ACETONE - louise Acetone Louise
Much of my favourite music came out in the 80s: Prince, Marc Almond, Peter Gabriel, The Police, U2, Kate Bush ... just to start a very long list. You're welcome to your opinion but writing off an entire decade is an opinion I could never respect and which, frankly, I don't think that you could in the least substantiate.
Best band of the Nineties? Well, certainly up there, anyway.They should have been huge. Great live too.
If you dug the below the surface, there was plenty of good stuff. Minutemen, Husker Du, Replacements, Joy Division, etc. etc. But yeah, the stuff that sold was mostly garbage.
Save your tomatoes, but I can't agree with you on that. For as much as I hate 80s music, I somehow LOVE 80s movies.
Can't go wrong with a guy named Bill in a band Great album- Treble Charger-Maybe It's Me, 1997 (Produced by Lou Giordano) Fade-
I’ve posted this on two other threads - saddest song and another one. But it’s worth posting again, it’s so amazing. What a voice. “Dido's Lament" from the opera Dido and Aeneas. As rendered live (and luckily recorded by some fan) by Jeff Buckley. When I am laid, am laid in earth, May my wrongs create No trouble, no trouble in thy breast; Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate. Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
Terry Lee Hale - Backroads Singer/songwriter and alternative country artist from Seattle/Washington. Perhaps, he is best known for his song "Dead Is Dead" which was included on the seminal 1988 "Sub Pop 200" compilation, the only singer/songwriter there. "Backroads" is a song from his 1994 album "Frontier Model", released on the German Glitterhouse label. Produced by The Walkabouts' Chris Eckman, and engineered by the ubiquitous Seattle studio wizard Kevin Suggs. Terry Lee is residing in France since nearly 20 years, and is touring Europe quite frequently. Perhaps, he may be better known here in Europe than in the States. ""But it makes me mad", I said Ain't got no cash But Ginny says she got a plan We're just gonna have to take a chance That' s all Be nice and easy She knows a little store Not too far from here An old man alone Ain't nothing to fear Then we'll go And leave by the backroads"
Dogs on Ice- "On a String" One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands from my beloved hometown of Tampa, Florida.
