Day 24: A song from the 90s
I weirdly agonized over this. How do I narrow it down? I listened to so much music in the 90s it was nuts. I was into punk, alt-rock, Sup Pop stuff, Electronica, jazz, blues. I had both BB King and Ministry in my CD case. I ate up all kinds of stuff.

This song was my first introduction to Bob Mould. I gave Sugar's Copper Blue album many, many spins over the years. Every song is just so great. And the sound is this perfect combination of loud and melodic. This is actually one of the quieter ones. ;)
 
Day 24 a song from the 90’s So much to choose from, as I have found with all of these decades, went with Jay Z cause I didn't see it up yet, and although hip hop was dabbling in main stream - I'd say he def pushed it beyond what others imagined.
Can't Knock The Hustle - Jay Z
 
After getting out of the army in 93 my musical tastes had changed. Music had changed and so had I. I started college and had to start my life.

Hardcore was out (except for NYC HC: vision and madball), the next gen of punk was getting started, but I wasn’t feeling it. Grunge was still there but dying. I got into britpop in a big way. Blur, Pulp, Manic Street Preachers.

And some of the punk/indie rock was good too: Thomas Jefferson Slave Apts, Guided by Voices, Prisonshake.

Garage rock came back: hellacopters, the hives, Demonics, Riverboat Gamblers.

And Oi! and working class punk restarted - the Dropkicks, Cockney Rejects reformed.

It was another great decade in music - maybe the best!! How to choose??

St. Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart

I have a theory that the best decade of music is the decade when you were doing the most things that the music was the soundtrack to. So in my case, yeah the 90’s. But it’s not a thing I’d argue hard.
