90s Music

From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!


Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.
  3. Consider using song.link links. Those will embed/offer links to the song from multiple platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube/YT Music, etc). Most of the time, they'll also provide an embed video to YouTube which will render interactively in some Lemmy clients (Tesseract, Photon, etc).

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

Makes me think of House M.D.

Does that mean Lupus?

I remember back in the late 90s to early 2000s, we had one of those big ass audio component systems with a 3-disc rotating CD player and 2 cassette slots and separate stereo speakers. We had a pirated CD of Mezzanine (no place to buy original albums in my hometown) and I always used Teardrop to demo what I thought at the time was a good bass system. lol

I did the exact same thing back in the day and by default over the years, it has become my go to song for tweaking my AVR when I move, lol. I know there are absolutely better songs/tools to use but I just love this song.

Someone said on the internet that the best music to test sound systems is one that you are very familiar with. I think it makes sense.

There's a pretty compelling theory that one of the dudes in Massive Attack is Banksy, which is cool

Would this be considered House music?
