This is adorable. uli2000 posted:When I moved to the UK in '97 they'd play it late at nights on Channel 4. I think it was all reruns by then. Back on Christmas day, my kids were talking about 90's stuff so I remembered the Army of Lovers segment on Eurotrash and shows my kids some AoL videos for peak 90's Eurotrash. Funny you mention Beavis and Butt-head and Army of Lovers in the same breath - I heard their song "Crucified" on that show and sought out the album it was off of. The rest of the album was definitely not as good as that one song, yeeeeeesh.

A fiftieth anniversary show is apparently happening this year, to feature all of the top acts (or as many as they can get) in rock, pop, hip-hop and more. I kind of hope they don't try to bring back too many of the original performers. Maybe bring them out to perform a song or two alongside somebody new. Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and Fred Durst could team up on "Behind Blue Eyes".

I think not having proper restroom facilities, not allowing outside food & drink, and setting up multiple booths to sell bottle water and bags of ruffles at ridiculous prices was more indicative of the event's downfall.

My 90s moment was last night when on a whim we ended up watching a random mid-90s SNL. It was the one with Quentin Tarrantino and Smashing Pumpkins. drat, everything from the "I'm so cool" bumper pics to a sketch where Quentin talks with other directors about "slamming" the actresses they work with on set... Also remember when Billy Corgan had features and a jawline and wasn't a sad pool ball all of the time? Yeah me either.

D'Arcy said she thinks he must have a brain tumor lol The Pumpkins and Weezer are two prolific bands from the 90s for whom I checked out after their third albums, but I would LOVE for someone else to do the work of listening to all their latter day albums, demos, b-sides, tribute covers, leaks, solo albums, etc, and make me a 12-15 song list of the songs worth listening to since their heyday. Billy has put out hundreds of songs. There must be great ones I've never heard but I don't want to do the work of sifting them out. Also Siamese Dream > Melloncollie. Maybe it wouldn't be if you cut Melloncollie down to one album, but as is... Imagined has a new favorite as of 20:18 on Jan 14, 2019 |

Ava was one of those albums you'd always find ten copies of in the bargain bin next to Spin Doctors and Chumbawumba. Edit: also Jimmy Chamberlin was the most underrated drummer of the 90s. Imagined has a new favorite as of 20:48 on Jan 14, 2019 |

I don't think anyone expected the alternative boom of the early 90s to have faded/transformed as quickly as it did by about 1996/1997. But around that window, too, you had the huge pop culture success of U2 seemingly undone by Discotheque and people figured the band was on its way to obscurity after about a solid 15 or so year run. (Turned out, they came back in the late 90s and early 2000s with a number of successful songs.) I seem to remember Michael Stipe, during the peak of REM's success in the earlier 90s teasing that he was tempted to end the group on New Years Eve 1999, telling how they'd perform their last show and at the stroke of midnight, put down the instruments and walk off stage and out of the industry.

He just wasn’t as famous despite his band. Chamberlain is a huge influence on me as a drummer and I love listening to his nuance. As with most members, the fame usually goes solely to the singer. Definitely not underrated though.

I was listening to 36 Chambers earlier today and just amazed by how it has not aged a day in terms of production or flow. The beats would fit right in with (although be better than) anything on those lo-fi hip-hop Youtube channels right now. It's so loving good. Album came out in 1993 but could come out tomorrow and be hailed as a masterpiece.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally leave it in the car and the heat from the sun warped it or something? Because there's no physical contact between a CD player and a CD surface unless its broken or something. CDs are actually really stable and durable compared to cassettes and records.

I’m not sure if it would happen from repeated plays, or simply because they were played so often that they got handled more often but I definitely had CDs that became skippy/unplayable after a while with no obvious scratches or marks.

You remember hitting a bump and the CD skipping? The CD either got far enough from the laser not to read or it smacked right into it. There is also a ton more dust and dirt along with trying to change disks while you are driving.

I honestly can’t explain why some CDs became skippy and others didn’t. We had copies of Van Halen’s Best Of, Vol. 1 and Rush’s Moving Pictures, the former being bought new in 1996, and both got skippy to the point of needing new copies in the early 2000s. To be fair, those CDs ended up on every road trip, played at home and countless little Discman players for years, so they got a ton of wear and tear... Yet somehow, a CD copy of Frank Zappa’s Hot Rats from the early 90s went through all of that and still works fine to this day  This is probably more of an early 2000s thing, but burned CD-R and CD-RW discs definitely had shorter lifespans than regular CDs. After a few months of heavy usage some of those became unplayable.

Might just be wear and tear that you didn't even notice, like the CDs being handled with bare hands on the recording surface or getting minor dings and nicks from general usage.

Or heat from being in a car contributing to read problems with the surface. It's weird how CDs, with their iridescent silver bottoms, were thought to be Forever Purchases and now we know that they will delaminate or rot eventually. The most 90s thing is like "yeah I'll get this on Cd/DVD/ buy Mario Superstars for SNES... i'll never need to repurchase it again!"

On CDs the glues and lacquers used to keep the layers together oxidize and get dimmer, making the CD harder to read. Usually this becomes a problem with CDR/W -disks within 5-10 years, and album grade CDs in 15-20 years.

I have seen this with a couple of my CD’s from the early and mid 90’s but, by and large, all the CD’s I bought 25 years ago are perfectly playable, and I even converted them all to digital in the past couple of years. My copy of ...And Out Come The Wolves that I bought on release had been on massive rotation for 20+ years until it got converted and still plays flawlessly despite looking like it was attacked by Wolverine.
