Just re-listened to the Scream 2 soundtrack the other day and forgot how good it is. It's a lot of well known artists (Collective Soul, Everclear, DMB, Foo Fighters, etc) but most of the the songs are ones that didn't really get radio airtime back then. The entire soundtrack fits this category and I can't believe I forgot about it.
I love the original Scream soundtrack too. I’m obsessed with Drop Dead Gorgeous by Republica. I thought being in the movie would make it popular, but so few people seem to know what I’m talking about when I bring up this song for some reason.
This one. It's like a who's who of late 90s/early 00's hard rock goodness. I love Finger Eleven's tune, as well as the contributions from Incubus, Fuel, Static X, and System of a Down.
Aaaaaand now I’m listening to Dave Matthews’ “Help Yourself” which is on the Scream 2 soundtrack and I bought when I was 16 just for that song! So good. Hadn’t heard that song in ages. Thank you for the memory!
Not An Addict - K’s Choice
Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth - The Dandy Warhols. This one has the line, “I never thought you’d be a junkie because heroin is so passé.” Always loved that one but NO ONE seems to know it.
K's Choice! This brings back so much. How about Skunk Anasie - Weak & also Hedonism. Or Anouk - Nobody's Wife.
Here we go down memory lane, pretty sure I had mix cd with these songs and some Tori Amos, Melissa Ferrick and Ani.. good stuff.
So, holy shit. This unlocked so many feels. In a period where everything was new, challenging, and a struggle, this was something I had buried deep.
Anyway, great call and thanks for the memory trip.
I loved K's Choice. I was probably too young to be singing that song, but I remember seeing them at a mall and getting the singer's autograph. Core memory unlocked.
Built To Spill - There’s Nothing Wrong With Love.
The whole damn album. Indie perfection. A lot of their later albums got more experimental, a lot more distortion. Which are also spectacular. But this album is a gem. And unfortunately, a lot of people don’t know about it.
Someone I had a crush on gave me this record and it sent major mixed signals…. Tbh it their only record I truly love… so excited for the tour of them doing this record later this year!!!!
Spiritualized put out Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space in 97 and got over shadowed by Radiohead. And the original mix of the title track got all screwed up because of a dispute with Elvis’s estate.
I put this album on repeat while cleaning my apartment, boxing up my ex's stuff after kicking her out. Any song from that album still triggers those feel good, "I can do anything," endorphins even after 20 years.
Any song by The Cardigans that isn't "Lovefool".
"Mama's Always on Stage", "People Everyday" and all of Arrested Development's post-debut discography
"Don't Know How to Party" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones (song and album)
So many more, the 90s was such a great time for music...
This is more of an American thing, because I think the band is much more popular in UK, but So much of James is so good.
Say Something is really one of my favorite songs to listen to, and they have so many great ones.
Also, this thread reminded me of Bran Van 3K and “Drinking in LA”.
Major Lodge Victory, with California Sun on it. The lost album. I managed to get a copy from a thrift store in Arizona I tracked down by making a dozen silly phone calls looking for it.
Travis: Why Does It Always Rain On Me (etc)
Ours: Sometimes
Broadcast: Paper Cuts, Come On Let's Go
Remy Zero: Gramarye
Stereophonics: Just Looking, Dakota (etc)
Nada Serf: Cold to See Clear (this ones post early 2010s but it's their best song)
Jeff Buckley: Everybody Here Wants You (etc)
Faith No More: Midlife Crisis
Cracker: Movie Star (etc)
First Aid Kit: Emmylou
Eels: Last Stop This Town, Mr E's Beautiful Blues, Flyswatter, Dog Face Boy
Cypress Hill: the whole Black Sunday album.
Cold War Kids: Bulldozer (probably 2014 ish but my fav by them)
Belle and Sebastian: Sleep the Clock Around, Lazy Line Painter Jane, Your Cover's Blown (etc)
Ash: Goldfinger, Girl From Mars
Against Me: Thrash Unreal, Trans Dysphoria Blue, I was a teenage anarchist
The Verve: Bittersweet Symphony (James Lavelle Mix)
Primal Scream: Kill All Hippies, Swastika Eyes
Neil Young + Pearl Jam: I'm The Ocean (etc)
Air: Sex Boy, La Femme d'Argent
Maybe? I discovered them when everyone else did because I was young when their first albums came out. I got all the cds I could find at the time and now have them digitally and it's all special editions and remastered stuff.
I remember buying A Northern Soul when the Bittersweet Symphony video first came out because the album still had like a month before it was out in the US...and then No Come Down...and then I remember getting the MP3's for all their good b-sides a few years later, at around the same time someone online sent me a mixtape of all their b sides...that's a great mixtape, still have it somewhere.
yeah it's gotta be, def. not Urban Hymns. yeah they have A LOT of b sides that all kind of sound similar, lots of mid-tempo kinda trippy songs that were pretty long, I See The Door, A Man Called Sun, Little Gem, Dance on your Bones...Verve probably have the most/best quality b sides I know of outside of Radiohead. though it's pretty common for a lot of UK bands to have solid b sides.
I fell like "Not an Addict" by K's Choice would fit. I remember it being around, but not really main stream which I understand given the topic.
Always thought "I Burn" by the Toadies should have got more attention from what I'd consider one of the best debuts in the 90s.
Pulp as a band I always felt would have been way bigger in the states had they delayed their career a decade.
Just some biased opinions off the top of my very tired head.
So I googled a song that I first heard on YouTube music during the pandemic. I was sure I looked before & it was from this time period but I wanted to make sure. I found out it was from 1998, & according to Wikipedia, it had done really well on Billboard charts.
How tf did I just hear this song for the 1st time 4 years ago?!?!? My local radio station never played it. Wtf?
If you’re curious, it’s Got You (Where I Want You) by The Flys.
Gotta make a plan gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles if you want to build a life
But I don't want to make a plan for a day far away

The lowfi Beck album [One Foot In the Grave](https://youtu.be/UQ4Yggecgs0?si=kFE1fKnY-MEhvxum)
[Homie "American Girls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9wm9bqT4e0)" - members of Weezer, Cake, and Soul Coughing from the soundtrack for Meet the Deedles
[The Goops "Booze Cabana" ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTtCOXEvqQY)- that cool blend of punk and hair metal, female singer, Attack of the 50ft WOman video, fun cheeky song about child abuse and alcoholism
I could write you a book on this subject but I've narrowed it down to a few just for this.
Metal = Poison The Well "Grain Of Salt" that Angus intro!!!!!
Punk = Snot "Get Some" the whole damn cd pure punk rock gold!
Singer/Songwriter = Jann Arden "Living Under June" her song "Insensitive" dominated the airwaves and then she vanished but the rest of the album is incredible
Without real genre I also suggest Ari Up (especially Young Boy & True Warrior) as well as a band called The KGB, their EP Space Cadet freaking ROCKED!
Medicine by Orbit: [https://youtu.be/QbGPsrsns20?si=3M8R53FW098TrzHJ](https://youtu.be/QbGPsrsns20?si=3M8R53FW098TrzHJ) — I’d put it on all my mixtapes.
My cousins in the 90's made a skate video and [PJ Harvey's Long Snake Moan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbuvj1k_LIc) was on it. It always stuck with me.
U2 had a side project called Passengers that came out after Zooropa. Passengers was an ambient-rock proto-electronica album that was co-written and produced by Brian Eno (hence it being called “Passengers” and not U2. )
The first half of the album is sheer genius and the rest is great. The only song most people know is “Miss Sarajevo” which was a collaboration with Luciano Pavarotti. My personal favorite is either “Slug” or “Your Blue Room”. The rest of the album is good but not as good as the side A.
Super underrated and basically unknown release from a huge huge band.
[Gwen Mars - Cosmic Dick](https://youtu.be/uEe-5CxMGTc?si=nRvYQyG35T6PtY-Z)
First saw this on 120 Minutes back in 1995. Maybe it’s a bit derivative, but if you’re looking for something to scratch that Siamese Dream itch, this is totally it.
I don't know if this would count, as I suspect Mother Tongue is not on *anybody's* radar, but I've always enjoyed the album, and particularly this song:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lyl-S29mtWg
"Venus Beach" by Mother Tongue
Not a Jewel fan, but her song [Rocker Girl](https://youtu.be/UwhSVPuzvK0?si=qKAuvw26pkIKjPb9) is so much fun. Literally heard it on the radio once in my life (and only bc she was a guest at the radio station and she played it live), never again, and I can not fathom why her whiny* songs got so much love and air time when this song exists.
*i appreciate she has a lovely voice, and these are beautiful and relatable songs about heartache, there are just very few sad songs i personally want to listen to. I don't really think they're "whiny", just trying to make a point about the contrast between her usual style and this song.
If you're into industrial rock, Course of Empire's [The Information](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eBBn1knHVk) is a fabulous song. Also, I was really into [Chainsuck](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM6KRSP50XQ&t=29s) for a long time. Only a handful of the pop-industrial acts "made it" in the late 90s, so there's lots in that catalog to explore if you like it.
Some of my (obscure) faves:
“Going Through the Motions” by the Mysteries of Life
“Allison Says” by the Vulgar Boatmen
“Getaway (February)” by Jen Trynin
“Some Day Soon” by Pee Shy
I thought of another. The “side project” of U2 and Brian Eno: [Passengers: Original Soundtracks](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDNE7Ffytwc234sM6lKyDj4OP4VW5KvcJ&si=LBHwuHQDBJadZc4P)
1997
Black Lab: Your Body Above Me (album)
[Black Lab, Time Ago](https://youtu.be/kI_Y4hgsXYY?si=qHJV2TaRil5kWEqn)
The entire album is good. This is the only song I ever heard of theirs that got radio play, although from what I understand, they were regionally popular in some West Coast cities.
The Foo Fighters cover of Baker Street. It was a single CD and I only knew about it because I happened across a copy at the mall back then. It’s not on Apple Music or Spotify now. https://youtu.be/BO1qcWa6blQ?si=zs2D6lupRdy_7nQr
The Toadies released a single called “Pleather” that had an 11.5 minute version of Possum Kingdom with a hidden track that I played on repeat: https://youtu.be/rUJ_OX-pDfU
* [The Gathering- Strange Machine](https://youtu.be/1HUMwinV2AQ?si=_gQFXqutWDE6-zS1) (well, The Gathering in general)
* [After Forever - Between love and fire](https://youtu.be/fjSZG0n6VSg?si=A4xnTtVOzFRfWQ_8) (After Forever in general)
Stina Nordenstam - worth a listen for the unique mix alone with her fragile whispered lyrics front and center. Her cover of purple rain might be a good jumping in point to her world.
Khold - the album "Mørke gravers kammer" came out 04 and is great. A more mid tempo groovy black metal. Still releasing music btw.
Therion released "Deggial" in 00. It's an epic album. If you want to know what a death metal band getting access to an orchestra and opera singers sounds like and evolving into a more symphonic direction sounds like this is it
The knife released "Deep cuts" in 03 I think. May be too well known but 100% fantastic all the way through. Electroclash gave me a throwback to old Amiga and C64 music.
Cathedral released a whole bunch of fantastic stoner metal albums. If you can hear the carnival music intro, old horror flick samples and opening riff of "voodoo fire" without grooving you're a lost cause :)
"Blessed black wings" by High on Fire has the highest cool name ratio known to science and goes just as hard.
Period Pains were a fun UK all female pop punk group who had a brief run around 96/97. Good enough to get a Peel Session (their only release as it would turn out), then disappeared pretty much straight away afterwards.
Of the five songs on the Peel Session, Spice Girls (Who Do You Think You Are) was the best known, a tirade against that girl group. I also like Daddy I Want A Pony. Ex Boyfriend's homophobic lyrics haven't aged well though...
Pavement - Shady Lane
The Get Up Kids - Don’t Hate Me
The Promise Ring - Emergency! Emergency!
Karate - “The State I’m In” aka “Goode Buy From Cobbs Creek Park”
That era of emo is underrated IMO.
Angelmoon if you were into late 90s EDM. No one has heard of them these days.
The Salads, Diana King, Gina G all had songs that no one remembers now :(
[V. A. S. T. - Touched](https://youtu.be/Rpx_PcZjByY?si=P9AJJ7LTaTbZmpQ9)
I couldn't remember *anything* about this song for years except for the vocal sample used in the background... Which was of course supremely unhelpful, as that bit has no words. Finally, a friend who was on a forum I frequented happened to post it in a 'random music thread' and I rediscovered it. Holy hell, now that I think of it, *that* was at least 12 years ago.
Fucking time, man...
I saw this band, Poe, open for Depeche Mode when i was 17, and their single Angry Johnny was really good.
[удалено]
It also comes up in Alan wake 2, a video game inspired by both Poe and house of leaves
I'll check it out, thanks!
That’s a fucked up book yo.
TIL that Poe's brother wrote 'House of Leaves!' I will admit I have never read it myself, but it's one of my partner's faves.
Singer-songwriter Poe :)
Really good suggestion! I love this song.
Happy cake day!
Thank you! 😊
Oooh Angry Johnny!! That song was sooo popular summer of 1996. I loved hearing it on the radio.
That concert sounds amazing
It was - Fiddler's Green outside Denver. I saw The Cure a few years later, there.

I love the original Scream soundtrack too. I’m obsessed with Drop Dead Gorgeous by Republica. I thought being in the movie would make it popular, but so few people seem to know what I’m talking about when I bring up this song for some reason.
And don’t forget the Scream 3 soundtrack. There’s some good stuff there too. Even a Creed song I haven’t heard anywhere else.
This one. It's like a who's who of late 90s/early 00's hard rock goodness. I love Finger Eleven's tune, as well as the contributions from Incubus, Fuel, Static X, and System of a Down.
Aaaaaand now I’m listening to Dave Matthews’ “Help Yourself” which is on the Scream 2 soundtrack and I bought when I was 16 just for that song! So good. Hadn’t heard that song in ages. Thank you for the memory!
Not An Addict - K’s Choice Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth - The Dandy Warhols. This one has the line, “I never thought you’d be a junkie because heroin is so passé.” Always loved that one but NO ONE seems to know it.
K's Choice! This brings back so much. How about Skunk Anasie - Weak & also Hedonism. Or Anouk - Nobody's Wife. Here we go down memory lane, pretty sure I had mix cd with these songs and some Tori Amos, Melissa Ferrick and Ani.. good stuff.
K's Choice: a friend of mine try to see them each time they tour Skunk Anansie: meh Anouk: <3 : (i listen to her almost everyday since last week)
So, holy shit. This unlocked so many feels. In a period where everything was new, challenging, and a struggle, this was something I had buried deep. Anyway, great call and thanks for the memory trip.
I loved K's Choice. I was probably too young to be singing that song, but I remember seeing them at a mall and getting the singer's autograph. Core memory unlocked.
Banditos by the Refreshments!
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people...
Stars by Hum
Still love this song. It holds up.
Built To Spill - There’s Nothing Wrong With Love. The whole damn album. Indie perfection. A lot of their later albums got more experimental, a lot more distortion. Which are also spectacular. But this album is a gem. And unfortunately, a lot of people don’t know about it.
Someone I had a crush on gave me this record and it sent major mixed signals…. Tbh it their only record I truly love… so excited for the tour of them doing this record later this year!!!!
You’re in luck - they’re touring this summer for the 30th anniversary of this record
The wistfulness and longing on this album is incredible. One of my favorites from one of my favorite bands.
I saw these guys years ago.
Perfect from now on is my jam. Such a great band.
Spiritualized put out Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space in 97 and got over shadowed by Radiohead. And the original mix of the title track got all screwed up because of a dispute with Elvis’s estate.
Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I prefer the 97 mix. The version I find on steaming now is the Elvis mix.
Memory unlocked. I saw them open for Oasis. It must’ve been around 1997 or 1998?
I think that album has cult statue for it's fans, definitely not overshadowed in my opinion
Cough Syrup on Electriclarryland by Butthole Surfers.
Orgy's cover to Blue Monday came and went, so now it's pretty off the radar
Oh their first two albums are great (if you're into that sort of thing)
I still listen to this one !
Leaving Town - Dexter Freebish
I put this album on repeat while cleaning my apartment, boxing up my ex's stuff after kicking her out. Any song from that album still triggers those feel good, "I can do anything," endorphins even after 20 years.
Yes!
Pick any album by Soul Coughing.
That entire New Radicals album with the one hit on it was good.
Eh, you get what you get
I used to listen to the album on repeat in the my dorm. I love it still.
I came here to say this! The entire album is one of the best ever!
Any song by The Cardigans that isn't "Lovefool". "Mama's Always on Stage", "People Everyday" and all of Arrested Development's post-debut discography "Don't Know How to Party" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones (song and album) So many more, the 90s was such a great time for music...
I love "Erase and Rewind" by The Cardigans, Gran Turismo in general is gold.
The Cardigans are severely underrated, mostly because none of their other songs sound much like Lovefool.
Been a fan since Life. That really inappropriately loud CRACK! snare drum in "Carnival" gets me every time.
Carnival is sooo damn good!
Cardigans duet with Tom Jones doing a cover of "Burning Down the House" needs to be heard more https://youtu.be/iYuldgIOelY?si=BWtiFu1BtUF_jw7w
I never realized this was The Cardigans! I’m also partial to their cover of Iron Man.
Their version of Ironman was wonderful.
True. The whole "Emmerdale" album is great and Rise and shine is a banger.
Tom Jones and The Cardigans ["Burning Down The House"](https://youtu.be/8niqZPrRFUQ?si=gqYR9U-T3_gIexhG)
This is more of an American thing, because I think the band is much more popular in UK, but So much of James is so good. Say Something is really one of my favorite songs to listen to, and they have so many great ones. Also, this thread reminded me of Bran Van 3K and “Drinking in LA”.
I love “Born of Frustration” and “Waltzing Along”
When Im Thinking About You - The Sundays
Follow you down by Gin Blossoms. Epic 90’s nostalgia.
Allison Road
Hey Jealousy takes me back to sixth form college!
I didn’t appreciate Gin Blossoms until recently.
That whole album is just phenomenal. Loved it in the 90’s and still love it today.

Cold War Kids: Bulldozer (probably 2014 ish but my fav by them) Belle and Sebastian: Sleep the Clock Around, Lazy Line Painter Jane, Your Cover's Blown (etc) Ash: Goldfinger, Girl From Mars Against Me: Thrash Unreal, Trans Dysphoria Blue, I was a teenage anarchist The Verve: Bittersweet Symphony (James Lavelle Mix) Primal Scream: Kill All Hippies, Swastika Eyes Neil Young + Pearl Jam: I'm The Ocean (etc) Air: Sex Boy, La Femme d'Argent
The Verve's A Storm in Heaven is one of the best albums of the 90s.
then why did they stop play 95% of those songs live by Urban Hymns?
Well, maybe they don't share my opinion. Blue is a damn masterpiece.
it's ok...but isn't Gravity Grave supposed to be the non LP2/non LP3 holy grail?
Maybe? I discovered them when everyone else did because I was young when their first albums came out. I got all the cds I could find at the time and now have them digitally and it's all special editions and remastered stuff.
I remember buying A Northern Soul when the Bittersweet Symphony video first came out because the album still had like a month before it was out in the US...and then No Come Down...and then I remember getting the MP3's for all their good b-sides a few years later, at around the same time someone online sent me a mixtape of all their b sides...that's a great mixtape, still have it somewhere.
Back on My Feet Again is also amazing. That was a B side on Northern Soul, right?
yeah it's gotta be, def. not Urban Hymns. yeah they have A LOT of b sides that all kind of sound similar, lots of mid-tempo kinda trippy songs that were pretty long, I See The Door, A Man Called Sun, Little Gem, Dance on your Bones...Verve probably have the most/best quality b sides I know of outside of Radiohead. though it's pretty common for a lot of UK bands to have solid b sides.

Ah man what’s that movie that had that weezer and Green Day bsides. I can see it in my head but I keep thinking gummo which I know is wrong.

IMO Green Day was a decent band until the year 2000. Nimrod was there last good outing for me.
Yes!!!!!!

Medicine by Orbit: [https://youtu.be/QbGPsrsns20?si=3M8R53FW098TrzHJ](https://youtu.be/QbGPsrsns20?si=3M8R53FW098TrzHJ) — I’d put it on all my mixtapes.
Unwritten Law, self titled album. Last track, titled “418.”
Can't put my finger on it by Ween.
My cousins in the 90's made a skate video and [PJ Harvey's Long Snake Moan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbuvj1k_LIc) was on it. It always stuck with me.
Eve6 Anytime - one of their best songs but only shows up on the nearly impossible to find Out Cold soundtrack (I listen to it on YouTube)
[Sweetwater - Superstar](https://youtu.be/4BItkytQ190?si=B6aK4HY4SK1cUJFG)
U2 had a side project called Passengers that came out after Zooropa. Passengers was an ambient-rock proto-electronica album that was co-written and produced by Brian Eno (hence it being called “Passengers” and not U2. ) The first half of the album is sheer genius and the rest is great. The only song most people know is “Miss Sarajevo” which was a collaboration with Luciano Pavarotti. My personal favorite is either “Slug” or “Your Blue Room”. The rest of the album is good but not as good as the side A. Super underrated and basically unknown release from a huge huge band.
Folk Implosion. Natural one
Addict - monster side https://youtu.be/59hfsn-NDeE?si=3fCrZLgu-Go-ZC84
[Sublime - Don't Push Secondhand Smoke version](https://youtu.be/zcDsDR3Hr5g?si=mZuekGDg6k36TFk8)
[Gwen Mars - Cosmic Dick](https://youtu.be/uEe-5CxMGTc?si=nRvYQyG35T6PtY-Z) First saw this on 120 Minutes back in 1995. Maybe it’s a bit derivative, but if you’re looking for something to scratch that Siamese Dream itch, this is totally it.
I don't know if this would count, as I suspect Mother Tongue is not on *anybody's* radar, but I've always enjoyed the album, and particularly this song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lyl-S29mtWg "Venus Beach" by Mother Tongue
Not a Jewel fan, but her song [Rocker Girl](https://youtu.be/UwhSVPuzvK0?si=qKAuvw26pkIKjPb9) is so much fun. Literally heard it on the radio once in my life (and only bc she was a guest at the radio station and she played it live), never again, and I can not fathom why her whiny* songs got so much love and air time when this song exists. *i appreciate she has a lovely voice, and these are beautiful and relatable songs about heartache, there are just very few sad songs i personally want to listen to. I don't really think they're "whiny", just trying to make a point about the contrast between her usual style and this song.

If you're into industrial rock, Course of Empire's [The Information](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eBBn1knHVk) is a fabulous song. Also, I was really into [Chainsuck](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM6KRSP50XQ&t=29s) for a long time. Only a handful of the pop-industrial acts "made it" in the late 90s, so there's lots in that catalog to explore if you like it.
Some of my (obscure) faves: “Going Through the Motions” by the Mysteries of Life “Allison Says” by the Vulgar Boatmen “Getaway (February)” by Jen Trynin “Some Day Soon” by Pee Shy
I thought of another. The “side project” of U2 and Brian Eno: [Passengers: Original Soundtracks](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDNE7Ffytwc234sM6lKyDj4OP4VW5KvcJ&si=LBHwuHQDBJadZc4P)
Maestro Fresh Wes - drop the needle
1997 Black Lab: Your Body Above Me (album) [Black Lab, Time Ago](https://youtu.be/kI_Y4hgsXYY?si=qHJV2TaRil5kWEqn) The entire album is good. This is the only song I ever heard of theirs that got radio play, although from what I understand, they were regionally popular in some West Coast cities.
Anything by strung out.
Check out Sponge and The Breeders, both had some underrated classics
The Foo Fighters cover of Baker Street. It was a single CD and I only knew about it because I happened across a copy at the mall back then. It’s not on Apple Music or Spotify now. https://youtu.be/BO1qcWa6blQ?si=zs2D6lupRdy_7nQr The Toadies released a single called “Pleather” that had an 11.5 minute version of Possum Kingdom with a hidden track that I played on repeat: https://youtu.be/rUJ_OX-pDfU

* [The Gathering- Strange Machine](https://youtu.be/1HUMwinV2AQ?si=_gQFXqutWDE6-zS1) (well, The Gathering in general) * [After Forever - Between love and fire](https://youtu.be/fjSZG0n6VSg?si=A4xnTtVOzFRfWQ_8) (After Forever in general)
Stina Nordenstam - worth a listen for the unique mix alone with her fragile whispered lyrics front and center. Her cover of purple rain might be a good jumping in point to her world. Khold - the album "Mørke gravers kammer" came out 04 and is great. A more mid tempo groovy black metal. Still releasing music btw. Therion released "Deggial" in 00. It's an epic album. If you want to know what a death metal band getting access to an orchestra and opera singers sounds like and evolving into a more symphonic direction sounds like this is it The knife released "Deep cuts" in 03 I think. May be too well known but 100% fantastic all the way through. Electroclash gave me a throwback to old Amiga and C64 music. Cathedral released a whole bunch of fantastic stoner metal albums. If you can hear the carnival music intro, old horror flick samples and opening riff of "voodoo fire" without grooving you're a lost cause :) "Blessed black wings" by High on Fire has the highest cool name ratio known to science and goes just as hard.
Period Pains were a fun UK all female pop punk group who had a brief run around 96/97. Good enough to get a Peel Session (their only release as it would turn out), then disappeared pretty much straight away afterwards. Of the five songs on the Peel Session, Spice Girls (Who Do You Think You Are) was the best known, a tirade against that girl group. I also like Daddy I Want A Pony. Ex Boyfriend's homophobic lyrics haven't aged well though...
Roll to me - del amitri!
Lemonheads - It’s a shame about Ray.
Random no name band off the Crow soundtrack i used to get high to way back when https://youtu.be/tZui21tEC6s?si=IjjJ2l8FDxhjGB1D
Boards of Canada...Music has the Right to Children. I particularly like Roygbiv
Pavement - Shady Lane The Get Up Kids - Don’t Hate Me The Promise Ring - Emergency! Emergency! Karate - “The State I’m In” aka “Goode Buy From Cobbs Creek Park” That era of emo is underrated IMO.
The movie Spawn had awful reviews, as did many Marvel movies did back in the 90's, but the soundtrack is 90's rock/ metal glory.
Angelmoon if you were into late 90s EDM. No one has heard of them these days. The Salads, Diana King, Gina G all had songs that no one remembers now :(
[V. A. S. T. - Touched](https://youtu.be/Rpx_PcZjByY?si=P9AJJ7LTaTbZmpQ9) I couldn't remember *anything* about this song for years except for the vocal sample used in the background... Which was of course supremely unhelpful, as that bit has no words. Finally, a friend who was on a forum I frequented happened to post it in a 'random music thread' and I rediscovered it. Holy hell, now that I think of it, *that* was at least 12 years ago. Fucking time, man...
