90s music

The 1996 album 'The Golden Age' by Cracker was not nearly as good as 'Kerosene Hat'.....but may include my favorite song of theirs:

I've now heard Cracker multiple times on the reborn version of KQ92.

This Jay Farrar effort was on the second Uncle Tupelo album. Lyrically it still is my favorite slower song he's ever written.

Still Be Around

Thank you for bringing Cracker back into my rotation. So good.

One of the best (and most underrated) bands of all time, imo. One from each of the 90s albums.

I was really hoping for this Whiskeytown tune at the Ryan Adams show a few weeks ago at The Uptown. No get.

Happy Anniversary to REM's Automatic for the People.

Gun to my head best R.E.M. song of them all.

Good call.

I would choose Cuyahoga, but maybe King of Birds on any given day or Green Grow the Rushes when I really need a big jangly guitar fix.

I remember finding it boring for the most part. Do you think anyone would respond to a 90s ska thread?

I drop the OC Supertones for my block on Halloween. Kids and parents love it. We generally give out 120 pieces of candy on October 31st. The Supertones have aged well.

Cracker--especially Kerosene Hat--is a great go-to. That album is downright great. As well loved as it is, I actually think it's underrated.

'Low' was obviously the hit off the album. But......Nostalgia, Get Off This, Movie Star, I Ride My Bike, I Want Everything, and the title track.....Kerosene Hat.....are all great tunes too. Very underappreciated album.

This'll sound corny, but this song will be in the first reel of the Route 66 documentary film I hope to make before I die.

If this were the opening song to a Route 66 Documentary that I accidently stumbled over.....or auto started because streaming service be going crazy.....I'd watch it.

If Mark Goffeney were still alive, he'd live-perform the last song in the film before the credits. My family and I happened to catch him at the Santa Monica Pier when we drove Highway 66 in 2010. I have him on video performing Ball and Chain by Social Distortion. When he saw me singing along, he gave me a smile.
