Whatever - The '90s Pop & Culture Poll CD 5

Not an impressive CD this one. My vote for "She Don't Use Jelly" also they got much better later in their career.

flaming lips or melvins. No Geir, they got different later on, not better.

Grant Lee Buffalo followed closely by Weezer and then Natalie Merchant and then Blues Traveler.

I know you're all too cool for Natalie Merchant or whatever but "Carnival" is amazing.

Not a list to be proud of. If it were The Sweater Song I'd give it to Weezer, but in fact this most underrated of R.E.M. singles gets the nod over Buddy Holly.

Lots of this disc is very evocative for me of the year I was finishing college. Lot of weird memories tied up. So I went with "Mockingbirds," from one of the most underrated albums of the decade, Mighty Joe Moon.

I know you're all too cool for Natalie Merchant or whatever but "Carnival""Trouble Me" is amazing.

I've listened to "Mockingbirds" so many times today.

REM, but "Tomorrow" came on shuffle and it rocked me the fuck out so that's #2.

This CD is kind of inexplicable but some of the songs are good. Voted Bad Religion as that's possibly their best song and chances are no-one else will

REM but it's not exactly up against much competition.

Voted Bad Religion as that's possibly their best song

Since it is neither "Infected" or "Stranger Than Fiction," no.

Letters to Cleo and Weezer are both great. Natalie Merchant is good, but "Jealousy" and "Wonder" were much better singles. Destroy every other miserable piece of crap on this disc.

Somewhere in the 90's I went through a pop/rock sung by girls phase. Here And Now by Letters To Cleo sums it up.

I know you're all too cool for Natalie Merchant or whatever but "Carnival""Trouble Me" her secret huge rack is amazing.

SHE DON’T USE JELLY – The Flaming Lips
21ST CENTURY (DIGITAL BOY) – Bad Religion
SUGAR FREE JAZZ – Soul Coughing
WHAT’S THE FREQUENCY, KENNETH? – R.E.M.
BUDDY HOLLY – Weezer
GOOD – Better Than Ezra
TOMORROW – Silverchair

All of these are pretty good, although "Sugar Free Jazz," "Kenneth" and "Buddy Holly" suffer by comparison with much better singles from the same albums. I also think "Good" is probably a lot lamer than I'm thinking it is right now, so, Silverchair it is.

That Candlebox song is the most godawful thing to come out of the entire decade I think. All throughout the late 90s it would come on 99X, apparently already enshrined as some sort of classic or generational touchstone or something and from the opening bars I just couldn't stand the damn thing. Draggy, endless, rubbish.

Looking for visual evidence of this rack...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Melvins!

The Flaming Lips

do people not like the grant lee buffalo song or have they just not heard it?

Unfortunately, the general ILM consensus did not comprehend this in time.
