^so you are picking from a wiki list?
That must have been the year one Mr. Hugh Rection discovered Columbia House. I forgot his middle name, please don't smite me mods! We all did it, right?
Ok referencing your earlier story I'm now slightly confused, was 91 the year you got out of camp or were you still in HS?One more hint about what you can expect next round: the town we were living in when I went to high school, we lived in the black neighborhood, of course, but I still went to a predominantly white school, and I was the only black student in any of my honors classes, aside from US History and English Lit... So, when we had in-class pizza parties, or whatever, you can probably imagine the sort of music I became accustomed to listening to.
EDIT ... So, if you were planning to get away with a "steal" in the later rounds, you might want to double-check to see what was poppin' on the rock charts, between 1990 and 1993... 'Cause ain't none of that crap safe.
I was still in high school. I graduated in '93, dropped out of college after a year, enlisted in '95. I was, relatively speaking, late on CD players.Ok referencing your earlier story I'm now slightly confused, was 91 the year you got out of camp or were you still in HS?
Aside from the ability to jump tracks easily it wasn't the most sensible format. Delicate, skipped in cars, not really portable when walking whatever. I was a reasonably early adopter but my brother kept getting cassettes as well. I have a bunch in the garage and I wonder, why?I was still in high school.

I had the yellow sports one. They came with possibly the worst headphones I've ever suffered through.Ah, the Walkman! I walked around a lot, when I was younger: I didn't live anywhere that required me to have a car until I was 23. My tape collection is tremendous.

Grungy. Crunchy. Dirty.
A masterpiece. This may satiate my Seattle sound for now...
IMO, AIC's music evoked quite a variety of emotions in me. A lot of it had to do with the way their music and lyrics tended to blend into one giant feeling. And, being a kid of the 90s, it fed into my general feeling of angst and disillusionment.
1. "Them Bones"
2. "Dam That River"
3. "Rain When I Die"
4. "Down in a Hole"
5. "Sickman"
6. "Rooster"
7. "Junkhead"
8. "Dirt"
9. "God Smack"
10. "Intro (Dream Sequence)/Iron Gland" (sometimes unlisted or listed as "Untitled")
11. "Hate to Feel"
12. "Angry Chair"
13. "Would?"
Not sure I have any intention of revisiting Seattle during this draft but I'd definitely consider picking the Singles soundtrack were it eligible as it contains possibly my favorite single AIC and PJ songs plus some other stuff I really like. And those others dip on and off of spotify for whatever reason to my utter and total frustration.
Really dated and crap movie though.
also: is my institution the only one using WebEx? Everyone is Zoom Zoom Zoom. It's like a Mazda ad.
Don't forget Bargain was also a staple of classic rock radio in the 80s/90s not sure whether it was when it came out. I'd say Baba, Won't Get Fooled..., and Behind Blue Eyes are the big highlights. Plus the middle inadvertently helped produce one of the better political quotes of the last 20 years.
So who’s next?
maybe we should have an online educators thread. I'm working on getting telehealth simulations going but I guess today could have been a little more productive. that's ok because I have to do a bunch of linked in learning tonight when the house goes quiet.
*mods could you copy/move the relevant portions and help us get that going if others want?
Their longtime producer, Dieter Dierks, was replaced with well-known rock producer Keith Olsen, who would produce Crazy World and assist in making it one of the Scorpions' greatest recordings. Their music had certainly changed since (redacted), sounding a little bit heavier and less glamorous. But even with the metal sound, the songs remain melodic and catchy. The power ballads on the album, "Wind of Change" and "Send Me an Angel," are arguably two of the band's greatest slow numbers, boasting soothing harmony and lyrics. Crazy World remains the Scorpions' finest '90s album and is sure to please its listeners.
Kontakte - Karlheinz Stockhausen (1964)
Karlheinz Stockhausen is one of the fathers of electronic music and contemporary classical music, and subsequently is one of the most important composers of the twentieth century. From musique concrète to Krautrock, a lot of my favorite music is early, experimental electronic music. Before one could go to the store and buy a synthesizer, artists had to invent means to create electronic sounds and Karlheinz Stockhausen was one of the key innovators. He experimented with electronic media and tape to create a wide array of sounds and compositional techniques. Musique concrète relies on taping sounds, and manipulating the tape to create otherworldly sounding compositions. It is one of my very favorite genres, and Kontakte is in my opinion the finest example of it.
