That album is loaded with great music! I haven't had the opportunity to see them live but thanks for the review. I know you're picky about what you think is good just like I am.
When those bands like Pearl Jam, STP and Counting Crows were popular was around the last time period I sang in R&R bands. It was nice to have a fairly abundant amount of good music to choose from with which to perform.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
Saw Radiohead in ‘94 also in Hawaii, they played with a 3 girl Japanese metal band, that was really good even if I couldn’t understand a word they were singing.

They will probably hit 1 billion views for this video
Finally getting into OK Computer. It took a few listens... after sitting on the "to do list" for ages. Definitely a unique band that imposes atmosphere on the listener.
Pretty sure I posted this in one of these threads a while back. I could watch everyday and it would still send chills up my spine...
One of my favorite bands from the 90’s. One of the under-appreciated. One that may have been missed because their hit was so quaint and poppy. Written off as that Bee Girl album band. Meanwhile the rest of that album sounded little like their hit. It was much darker and psychedelic, with midwest alt-rock and southern influences.
A lot of good music slipped through the cracks in the '90s.
Heard this seeping through crowd noise -- not enough for google to recognize. Riff stuck in my head. Took me about five minutes whistling it into google once I got home.
Spacehog? Never remember hearing that band name but definitely the song "In the Meantime". Did a deep dive into their catalog and found some really good stuff... and a lot of diversity:
The Bee Girl album is one I can still go back to to this day. I love every song on that album. Even No Rain… though I do tend to skip it. The song Sleepyhouse is one of my favorite. It feels like a warm, comforting, psychedelic hug.
There are lyrics in Tones of Home that still resonate with me… even more so now. “And I always thought this would be the land of milk and honey Oh but I came to find out that it's all hate and money”
…and the heartfelt “I only wanted to be 16, and free” in the song I Wonder… boy do I relate every morning when my alarm goes off.
I love Blind Melon. Shannon Hoon is an under mourned rock and roll death. He was a tragic poet with a drug addiction that he struggled to beat. Ultimately succumbing to it. Sucks for music.
I’ll see your Space Hog and raise it with a Toad… the Wet Sprocket. Another under appreciated 90’s band that may have gotten pigeon holed by their hits. They actually made some interesting music beyond the radio play stuff. I saw them in like ‘94ish (?). They it on a good show. Much ‘rockier’ than one would think.
A hit…
Not a hit, but also not what you’d expect if you only know their hits…
I went to the Atlanta Agora which were the same people who ran the Agora in Cleveland.
Went there to see Leon Redbone who I love. The show was opened with a guy I never heard of Tom Waits. He blew my mind. I had never seen or heard someone like him. Creative, dramatic, and fascinating to watch. He did this "song" which really was more like beat poetry to jazz. You could not take your eyes off him. I have been a huge fan since. His songs are so unique, lyrically, musically, vocally, and visually in person.
I find it rather ironic Willie did that song with the guy who sang "Okie from Muskogee". I remember a song Pure Prairie League dedicated to Merl after he released that song.....

It's staggering to realize how fast and furious those hits came; and the whole doc is centered around a legendary performance in front of people that had no idea they were about to have their faces rocked off.
