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. Put the link to the song in the URL field and not the post body.
  5. 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.

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

Possibly the GOAT song from Smashing Pumpkins

My friends and I discovered them shortly after they released Gish. I went into the military and they released Siamese Dream during that time. When we got to go to the base store for the first time, my friends were asking about all the new music and I suggested that Siamese Dream might be good, their first album rocked.

I was the coolest kid for a couple weeks, having turned everyone on to them.

Siva was the first Pumpkins song I remember. They have so many great songs it would be hard to pick a favorite. Rockers like Bury Me and slow buildups like Soma are up there though.

one of my favorite memories of getting together with an old friend I hadn't seen for a few years, we were probably 20 and we drove out to the country after dark and found a good summer road to park on and blasting Silver Fuck after smoking a couple joints

staring at the stars, that slow buildup and then pow

love that formula when they do it right
