Post your obscure 90s under-appreciated music classic. OK for me: Cake: "I Will Survive"

[HamdenRice]

Perhaps the best cover of the Gloria Gaynor classic rendered in a weird robotic style.

I won't post any Nirvana because it's not "under-appreciated."

But En Vogue, "Whatta Man," is up there.

24. Re: Nirvana comment.

Thank you.

[Tektonik]

5. Cake is overappreciated

sorry, :puke:

[XemaSab]

6. Especially for those among us who lived in Sac during the late 90's

:eyes:

[Tektonik]

7. Listening to it over and over on KROQ

and my brother's computer speakers made me realize that they aren't cool, and John McCrea is a boring dipshit

[HamdenRice]

9. Is that West Coast? For NYers, we only heard it on bar juke boxes

I'll never, ever, ever forget the first and only time I heard Cake's "Survive" publicly in the NY area: It as around 3:00 am in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at Teddie's Bar, one of the places that turned Willamsburg from a ghetto into a trendy neighborghood. Me, a fantastic carpenter, and two strippers getting off work we met there in the early morning hours of some Saturday in the mid 1990s. One of them put a dollar in the jukebox to play Cake.

[Tektonik]

10. Yeah that's the primary rock station for most of socal

I get the signal for KROQ in parts of northern San Diego even :crazy:

It serves LA and the OC mostly

[Bennyboy]

15. So true......

My good friend was in the first album incarnation of Cake. Victor Damiaini. he got fired.

they never did much for me live, but I dig their albums.

[Tektonik]

8. Björk's album Homogenic

that album is a masterpiece of cacophonous melody.

[Xipe Totec]

11. Oh, God, not Björk!

you violated my hurl radius :puke:

[Tektonik]

12. Sorry but revenge is dish best served cold

That's what you deserve for acclaiming anything by Cake :P

[Xipe Totec]

13. A fair riposte!

But now I have to wash my ears out with Madredeus

:hi:

16. "Pasta On The Mountain".... Leftover Salmon!

The Big green, sticky pasta
Growin on the mountain
pasta
growin on the mountain....

[greendog]

18. "Pasta On The Mountain" is an 80's tune.

I saw Vince and Drew play it in someones backyard in Boulder in the late 80's.

[Bennyboy]

19. How nice......

But for me it is the tune of the nineties.

WOw there is another leftover fan on this board? COOOL!

[Bennyboy]

20. Here is a video of their High Sierra show this year!

killer. Proshot. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=951NAIVO and includes Pasta. Also wtih Chris Thile (nickel Creek), Page mcConnell (phish)and fiddle master Darrol Anger.

[greendog]

21. Those guys were "almost" in my circle of friends back in the '80's.

Several of my close friends knew Drew. He lived in Gold Hill and they lived just down the road.

One friend played in a band with Vince (the Salmonheads).

There used to be big "picking parties" for bluegrass and "old time" players at a bar in Gold Hill once a month. Those guys would show up if they weren't busy with something else.

[Bennyboy]

23. Too cool...

They are my favorite band ever I think. Vince is my friend, sort of, now. I just love em so much.

27. Elastica: "Connection"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=XI2JxSSuahg

It kind of sounds like an 80s tune, but it came out in the mid-90s. I love it.

[TK421]

28. I'm really trying to come up with something good that came out of the 90's...

Except for Clinton being in office...music videos were in their death-knell...

Later SoundGarden videos and maybe some Nirvana videos...I'll really have to think about this one a while before I post something.

[Fading Captain]

29. Breeders: No Aloha

Man, I loved the whole record. But I'll always remember being semi-passed out on my floor after a big party, just getting tickled by this awesome song.

Also, Railroad Jerk/White Hassle had some great records.

Best record nobody ever heard of:
Charm Pops/Charm Pops
A band from Norman Okla., friends with the Flaming Lips. Produced by Dave Fridman. Just good catchy, quirky, pop songs.
