I did ask for it I guess.
I do agree with the placement of Downward Spiral.
Hole was a big part of music in grade 7/8, so Live Through This will always have a place in my heart.
What I will not accept is Third Eye Blind S/T slander. The rest is fair game.
There's also a short doc on why Ace of Base was so popular at the time. It's pretty much science driven to be as ear wormy as possible with as little thought to lyrics as humanly possible.
Really? I had no idea. I have the other two and they pretty rad, need to put that on my wantlist
I wouldn't go that far, but Hole, and particularly Live Through This WAS important in the same way that Weezer's Blue album or Green Day's Dookie was to me. Didn't revolutionize music or anything, but they were definitely big shapers of my musical identity.And it could be that those spinning the flat circle of time around on its axis did NOT fall within my peer group - who would rather pound their head agaisnt the wall than be sold on the idea that Hole was somehow a more important piece of the early/mid-90s music in popular culture than ...well almost anyone.

Looks interesting. Just when you say Swedish, Max Martin has been a mega producer for years pumping out hits. Him or those who have worked with/under him.Perhaps, sounds about right. Can't remember the name. It was an episode of some netflix doc series.

Since I have the go ahead:
Umm...I'd call them Garbage, but there was another totally meh 90s band that co-opted that moniker.
So, I'll just say VMP doing a Live Through This reissue would be completely ON BRAND for VMP Essentials: passing over a plethora of deserving releases in favor of something...else.
IF they are going to repress Live Through This, the might as well add these to the list:
Collective Soul - Hints Allegations and the rest of that bullshit album
Third-Eye Blind - S/T with the song that Semi-turns me into the dude in Jumper
Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Vomit
Limp Bizkit - Not Even worth a 3 Dollar Bill Y'All
Van Halen - III Singers Too Many
Ace of Base - The Sign that signaled "alternative" music had been co-opted by the money counters
Eric Clapton - Unplugged because we can't stand him plugged in and at full volume
Matchbox 20 - Yourself or Someone Like You needs to explain why you helped popularize this dreck
In case its not clear - I have unresolved 90s music opinions.
While I'm here, can some one explain how Boards of Canada and Two of Janet Jackson's albums charted higher than NIN - The Downward Spiral on that P4k 90s list?No disrespect to BOC or Ms. Jackson (cause I'm being nasty), but The Downward Spiral at 40 with Live through this at 8? I just cant take a list like that seriously.
Ok - rant over.
Also they're secret Nazis. So there's that.Yeah.
What's interesting was the mention that basically the lyrics aren't supposed to make sense. They're supposed to be as catchy as possible.
If you go back and listen to any Ace of Base hit you can tell...they make absolutely ZERO sense, but you likely know them all.
Yea, if I listen to lyrics that make zero sense I prefer not be able to repeat them. Looking at you Sigur Ros.Yeah.

I'd contend that (at least for myself) you don't listen to SIgur Ros for lyrics.Yea, if I listen to lyrics that make zero sense I prefer not be able to repeat them. Looking at you Sigur Ros.
Yea I was just kidding. I like Sigur Ros.I'd contend that (at lease for myself) you don't listen to SIgur Ros for lyrics.
Jonsi's voice is a musical instrument on itself, and that's how I treat it.
It's the band I've seen live the most times (including seeing Jonsi solo once).Yea I was just kidding. I like Sigur Ros.
I saw them once. I think it was the Takk tour and they played only a small handful of U.S. tour dates. One happened to be Vegas. It was really good.It's the band I've seen live the most times (including seeing Jonsi solo once).
I've been chasing the dragon ever since seeing them at Massey Hall, and unfortunately nothing has even come close to that show.
I'm in Canada, but check the listing. Should say "Music On Vinyl" in the deets.Were you guys referring to the version of Maxinquaye that's currently $24 on Amazon?
Seems like a bargain, if it's that good a pressing.
yes that's the MOVWere you guys referring to the version of Maxinquaye that's currently $24 on Amazon?

Iz gud. And yes I have no idea what sorcery was utilized in order to get like 57 minutes of music sounding that good on a single disc.Were you guys referring to the version of Maxinquaye that's currently $24 on Amazon?
