Two things happen when people don't label the videos they post. 1) No one can search the thread to see if something has already been posted. 2) If a video is yanked from YouTube no one will have a clue what that was that garnered 15 likes.
Good Idea, sorry! The videos I posted up thread were: The Oblivious - Crush, from 1993 Sparklehorse - Someday I Will Treat You Good, from '94 or 1995.
One of my favourites from the 90s - Smoking Popes 'I Need You Around' - someone once described the band as Frank Sinatra fronting Green Day..an under rated classic anyway..
1993. William actually HATES this video and is grateful it was rarely aired. Nice psychedelic track though (severely edited for the video) off an album that I listened to a lot during difficult times as a teenager. (I'm concerned it might be blocked outside of France but oh well...Giving it a shot).
Somehow I missed this one in the 90s and discovered it only this year. It may be one of the best tracks of that decade Carry The Zero Built To Spill
@Blastproof was correct and here are my exact words from the other post in question: the 80s were a dumpster fire. It's true. Dismal doesn't even begin to explain the horror show that 80s music was.
While poking around older threads I came across this - Into Paradise, Yesterday's Men: I think I have this CD, Churchtown; I hope so! I certainly have their first one.
You can call this one an, "oldie-but-such-a-goodie-some-Country-dude-stole-itty": Also, whoever slapped it up there takes credit for "up-sampling" it for "HD" (yeah, the wheezing compression just adds soooo much); also, was so nice to re-("mis")-title it so Jerron Neimann fans can find it.
Some cool suggestions in here. I came of age in the 90s, so I could do this for days, but I'm restricting myself to acts that were too small to even get a video made. And everybody got a video in the 90s, so if you didn't you were pretty low-profile. JEF LEE JOHNSON - FEEL SO FINE (catchy, soulful power pop)
Some friends of mine who recently got back together after a 10-year hiatus. Small but passionate fanbase in the 90s, but never quite broke through to the mainstream despite some solid TV placements and praise from Sir Elton himself! JUMP, LITTLE CHILDREN - VIOLENT DREAMS
A band with tons of raw talent (virtuoso guitarist Josh Zee and future Alan Parson drummer, forgot his name) that basically dicked around in the studio and made two albums to amuse themselves apparently. Still, some really catchy stuff in there and lots of impressive chops and weird musical ideas for a band that was likely being sold to skater slackers who didn't know what they were in for. Also, one of the worst, least thought-out album covers I've ever seen on a major label release. But it sounds great! PROTEIN - FROM MERCURY TO TEXAS
I'm breaking my own rule a bit here, as I think Josh Rouse got a high enough profile to make one or two music videos in his day, and he certainly got great press. Nevertheless, the view count on this video serves as a reminder that not that many people listen to Josh Rouse. His first album has a couple songs that I will literally never skip if they come up on shuffle. JOSH ROUSE - A SIMPLE THING
Nashville's answer to Beck (whom he later toured with), Matt Mahaffey is one of the great unsung pop talents of the last 20 years, a multi-instrumentalist and studio whiz who made an album on an unknown regional label pretty much by himself at home in the early 90s that still kicks ass today. If Prince and Todd Rundgren had a mid-90s alt-rock baby, it would be Matt Mahaffey and his vehicle Self. SELF - BORATEEN
I saw Sweet Vine open for Gov't Mule in the mid-to-late 90s. They're super derivative (even moreso than the Mule!), and not really special compared to the acts they aped, but their one album is pure 90s Southern Rock fun. In a world where even Sister Hazel got to have a big hit, it seems unfair that Sweet Vine never got a chance. They're both the definition of guilty pleasure. SWEET VINE - MOUNTAINSIDE
