Hmm..VH2? I wonder if I get that station. I've never heard of it. I have MTV2...but that's pretty much crap.
I'll have to go check if I have it...thanks Dubz.
MTV2 does have this cool thing called Subterranean where they air GOOD music, but it's on at 1 in the morning. they use to have a featured track each week, and I believe they featured Travis' Re-Offender when it first came out. But yeah, now it's kind of become where their crap reality shows go to die.
Is it just me or is the guy that hosts that show a bad interviewer? The interviews Always seem really awkward. I like to watch the Alternative on VH1 Classic on occasion :) |

I was never that much into 'grunge' or Alternative or whatever you want to call it. At the time I didn't really care about contemporary music, so even today it doesn't stick with me. I find Nirvana alright, overplayed, like Sublime & the Red Hot chilli Peppers, but it doesn't bother me anymore.
Better than...
Kid A
Hour of the Bewilderbeast
Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotlne
Mermaid Ave.
Fold your Hands Child, You Walk like a Peasant
I think The Man Who.. is a brilliant ablum but...

Yeah, I know. It's based on airplay and requests and such. They did 1997 the other day and I had to take a pass on that one, it wasn't so good. Hehe.
It's still a more interesting list to listen to than most of the end of the years out there, I think anyway. I'm not bias or anything. ;) |

Hmmm, interesting way to compile a list indeed, and there's a fair bit of stuff that wouldn't even get a mention elsewhere, so Well Done WOXY!!

| This years is Thursday, FYI. The message board always does a year end poll (different than the 'official' 97) which is being posted right now and is an interesting read also. The top 20 is tomorrow. I'll be interested to see #1. I think Peter Bjorn and John is going to be up there. |

I doubt WDIAROM will make the countdown. The Man who was released in the States until 2000. *Wah wah wahhhhhhhhhh |

71 Arrested Development - "Tennessee"
77 Ice Cube - "It Was a Good Day"
82 Geto Boys - "Mind Playing Tricks on Me"
83 The Breeders - "Cannonball" - I know I've heard the riff before, but never the whole song.
89 Liz Phair - "Never Said"
92 Public Enemy - "911 Is A Joke"
96 Nelson - "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection"
97 Prince & The New Power Generation - "Gett Off" - I couldn't even find this one on YouTube!

I've been searching for The Geto Boys for years, the original pioneers of Gangsta Rap.
911 is a Joke is a Deadly Tune, Flavour Flav at his best, get up a get get get down 911 is a joke in yo' town.
