Definitive Audiophile pressings

[Nee Lewman]

It’s really for the most part the same. The dullest, least edgy or interesting music of the decade that was recorded beautifully because everyone needs to fall asleep with the highest possible clarity music playing. It’s just Train and Counting Crows all over again.

Just for that:

I’ll probably get some crap for this, but I don’t care. The Hootie AP Atlantic 75 fuckin slaps.

No crap here. I bought it and can’t wait to clean it and spin it.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I might be convinced to give Hootie a stream, but I draw a line in the sand and refuse to go into Matchbox 20 land.

Am I remembering wrong or were Matchbox 20 not the Maroon 5 of the late 90s? And the singer did that awful song on that terrible Santana plus guests album?

They are similar in that they were Top 40 radio staples. Maroon 5 is more blue-eyed soul where as Matchbox Twenty is more adult alternative. Probably closer to Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind and mid 90s Goo Goo Dolls.

I like Maroon 5 until they started just being basically an Adam Levine solo act. So no?

 

[Nee Lewman]

Also, I think so on Santana but most of those bands are the same to
Me. Might have been the dude from Train.

 

[JonnyH]

There's some really good rock music from that time period but none of it was in the top 40.

 

[Jbraswell]

I grew up in Dallas with alternative rock in the 90s.
LoL those were not the bands on the radio station.

Other stations.. yes.

Matchbox 20 was nothing like maroon 5 really aside from them both starting with the letter M and having a number in their name lol. Didn’t like either band personally but they both had a bunch of radio hits in the US

 

[MikeH]

Hootie is mostly a nostalgic listen for me. It’s nothing ground-breaking. My dad had the CD in his car and would listen to it a lot on road trips with us when I was a kid. And my kid dances and claps to it so that’s enough of a reason for me to listen to it.

If I had to guess anybody on here that would detest it, I would have bet $100 it was going to be @Joe Mac lol

If AP ever does a New Radicals 45 reissue I will absolutely burn the building down.

 

[Jbraswell]

Some Weezer, Bush, Everclear, Jane's Addiction, Oasis...

These would be crazy, awesome reissues. I would preorder in a minute.

You’ve got the dreamer’s disease.

I’m still not sure I’ve ever heard the New Radicals.
