Since I know this is probably the perfect place to discover/share semi-obscure '90s alternative rock/alternative metal/generally kickass songs, I thought I would start an ongoing thread in which we can all post stuff maybe not everyone has heard before.
I'll get the ball rolling:
Now give me some gems, RM.

Re: Kickass '90s Alt Rock Songs
Dirty, gritty, bitter rock and roll from lo-fi cult hero Jim Shepherd (who committed suicide like two years after this was recorded).
Cheeky, radio-friendly alternative rock with a poppy sheen and a subtle undercurrent of post-hardcore musicality.
My favorite song from a massively underrated '90s album(produced by Steve Albini). Emotionally raw. That opening lyric gets me every time.
A The Cure-influenced ballad (kind of) from an awesome alternative metal album.

I loved the first album when it came out, but I remember the second one being disappointing. I probably haven't played either in years. I should fire them up.

I'm just glad the 90s are finally being celebrated on this board.

You should celebrate the 90s by voting in the tournament thread!

I was going to but I got confused by the way the thread is set up. Admittedly I didn't study it that closely, though.stip wrote:You should celebrate the 90s by voting in the tournament thread!
