My posts light your way pop to rock, r&b to soul, avant-garde to metal music. I don't like those categories, i only listen to music as if it's original without leaving the main idea. When it comes to your favorite records or bands, it's not easy to count all of them with less words. However i can say that Melvins is the most unique band makes me love black music, hard music, guitar solos and darkness. Houdini offers flawless play to your ears, it's not fulfilled with moanings like in some exhausting type of metal music that they call death metal, black metal. Goin' Blind which was written previously by Gene Simmons (of Kiss) is Houdini's keytrack with Honey Bucket and amazing closing track Spread Eagle Beagle. Do yourself a favor, and have Houdini!

The Bluetones is completely different for me, i play their Bluetonic, Talking to Clarry, Things Change and other great songs from their best effort Expecting to Fly at times. You'll love this Britpop band with this one of 90s excellent record. Ok, sing along with amazing solo guitar on beginning of Bluetonic, it's a real rock song. When you feel those unexplainable passions inside of you, i think you find rock music there. It's not about guitar, noise or another material. It's absolutely about living that moment with a certain smile on your face like The Bluetones sings on their song, Bluetonic. "Expecting to Fly", which is a presentation of brilliant british rock sound with many delicious moments on guitar chords, had reached to the top of the charts upon its release in early 1996. You see that colourful artwork, the record is as beautiful as that bird's amazing tail. Thank you The Bluetones!

Soup deserved to be another big hit, but due to MTV and radio's abrupt abandonment of the band, harsh reviews from close-minded critics, and worst of all, Hoon's untimely death mid-tour, all hopes of the album receiving the attention it deserved were extinguished. Soup is one of the most underrated and overlooked great rock albums of the '90s.

Part 1
I believe that a music blog should let the readers know about unspotted talents, don't think that a small post can do anything about this. I know everytime i write about these songs, there is someone out there to listen them.

Silver Jews - Ballad of reverend War Character
I can't tell how beautiful this song is, just listen to it. It's very simple and incredibly romantic and dramatic. I like the songs which remind us our feelings, that's great!

Nico - You Forgot To Answer
The song is from Hanging Gardens 1990, i'm not tired of saying Nico's amazing talent on this blog. This is gloomy more than anything you can listen if you also read about her life, her death. This version of You Forgot To Answer is the most pathetic, reminds you there is always someone there waits for your help. They say she sings this song for The Doors vocalist Jim Morrison.

Grant McLennan - Haven't I Been A Fool
He just wrote some amazing songs, but unfortunately he died last year. He was former member of The Go-Betweens which never achieved gold status even if the band was better then R.E.M. I don't know, i never believe to the words like 'You get what you deserve, If you work hard'. Because sometimes they just don't want to give that something you deserve.

Cranes - Shining Road
For me, Cranes was one of the most original lines of 90s, people don't want to support them, though. Powerful vocals, brilliant and dreamy music like driving car under city lights.

Cranes - Adoration

Part I
Popular Rock Hits From 90s
I won't give up listening to these songs even if everyone knows them. Why you have to be someone else? Why do you give up listening to songs that made commercial success? Does it make you special? I asked these questions to myself, and I only listen what i like. Everything is pop. Pop is everything.

1. R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
Much was made of the meaning of the title "Losing My Religion" among inquiring pop fans.
Was it an old Southern saying? Gibberish? Or an admission of something more personal by
singer and lyricist Michael Stipe? In the end, it didn't really matter, as R.E.M. took all the elements that made their previous efforts great and found themselves with a worldwide hit. The sound of gently plucked acoustic instruments, at once traditional and contemporary, and a strong sense of melody, made for the ultimate song from an already great band. Mike Mills recounted in an interview that in Israel the song was referred to as "O Life," referring to the first line of the song; in the U.S., the band scored its first Top Five hit. The album from which it was taken, Out of Time, eventually made it to number one; an accompanying video won all the top honor awards a video could that year. If R.E.M. hadn't yet charted on the radar for some folks, "Losing My Religion" ensured the band a place in pop history when it became the ubiquitous song during the summer of 1991. Amg Review

2. Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Paranoid Android absolutely makes Thom Yorke a better singer, but beauty of the song comes
from its alternative flowings, passages. Three section during the song; beginning, middle and
ending. With this song, you'll realize the best reason why you should listen to Radiohead. Because you don't need to do anything, just let it play!

3. Simply Red - Stars
Simply Red's records are maybe not my bag. The band released another great hits such as "Fairground", "If You Don't Know Me By Now". Stars was truly top of the band, sometimes simple songs are very hard to write. Stars takes simplicity and goes with the choruses which invites you to sing along.

4. Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You
Logging the highest level of chart performance for any single in 1990, Irish singer Sinéad
O'Connor's cover of the Prince composition "Nothing Compares 2 U" catapulted her from a
college-radio favorite into international stardom, to which she responded with passionate,
controversial political stands and increasingly erratic behavior.

5. Smashing Pumpkins - Today
6. Counting Crows - Mr. Jones

7. Nirvana - In Bloom
"In Bloom" was a cryptic attack on Nirvana's more clueless fans, embodied in a working-class Joe who "likes all our pretty songs/And he likes to sing along/And he likes to shoot his gun/But he don't know what it means."

8. The Cure - Friday, I'm In Love
9. Duran Duran - Ordinary World
10. Incubus - Stellar

Hersh dug into her backlog of compositions for material of an intensely personal nature that she felt wouldn't be suitable for her band on her solo debut. In stark contrast to her work with Throwing Muses, Hips and Makers (1994) is almost entirely acoustic. The album opener "Your Ghost" offers a magical acustic taste with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and it's the best song. And also i love the title song Hips And Makers. I love this record, what should i say more about it?

This record reminds you beautiful view of sundown. The most people i know love sundown, because of that romantic air, orange sky, peaceful atmosphere. Not only orange sky theme makes I Could Live in Hope a great record, it's also fulfilled with stunning songwriting, magical guitar passages. It's is perfect for rainy days, sundays, late night, moreover it's one of that records that i want to mention about it to my best friends. Quite simply, no category can truly reveal the beauty and glory of Low's debut record I Could Live in Hope. You've got to let it go, you've got to listen to this angelic vocals by Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker.

After a long exhausting season of work, nothing sounds better than the word, HOLIDAY! whenever i listen to The Blue Album, Weezer reminds me Summer, Parties and Holiday. Amg says: 'What makes the band so enjoyable is their charming geekiness; instead of singing about
despair, they sing about love, which is kind of refreshing in the gloom-drenched world of '90s guitar-pop.' And i say this is a must have!

I still love listening The Verve which was definitely one of the best british bands in the 90s. Every The Verve song reminds sense of drama, love and dreams. What i liked most is that you can listen to their songs when it's your bloody romantic mood. "Urban Hymns" (1999) is third studio record of the band, and following that they disbanded in1999. I love this song from the album even if lyrics aren't for me. Richard Ashcroft had released three solo record up to date, and if you ask me, his solo records are easy to forget. Now let your ears join to lush acustic guitars!

This is delicious and whimsical music. They said "Bossanova" as the weakest Pixies when it was released. It was definitely because of Doolittle's shocking effect on them. Or it was Kim Deal's the breeders which got more attention than Bossanova got. As a distinctive record, Bossanova is one of the best albums in early 90s. And it's still a great album, it never gets old and it knows how to steal your heart. Francis (Frank Black) has said Bossanova is his favorite. Velouria, underlining their ability to write timeless singles that filled the head and sent toes tapping incessantly out of time. It's a fitting and a perfect example of 90's alternative rock music.

For a long time, i was thinking about a 90s chart on this blog. I've been spending my whole time on listening music. Even though i go out six days of week, thanks to the new technology, i can carry more than 100 cd with me. So i'll be presenting some good stuff from 90s in the section. Nirvana, Pavement, Guided by Voices, Stereolab... and also underrated bands like fIREHOSE, Sunny Day Real Estate, Camper Van Beethoven...many of them will come!

Luna is the first band i wanted to remember, and "Bewitched" their the softest record. It starts with my favorite cut California (All the Way), it ends with another amazing work Sleeping Pill. Dean Wareham's songwriting makes this record splendid, moreover he is an extremely distinctive guitarist.

Candies, i see many of them on a supermarket which i pass nearby everyday. It's so painful that a candy isn't satisfying for me anymore. Last day i saw a kid talking on Tv "I don't want to grow", that kid was quite clever. Maybe i can't take my childhood back but i can remember
them while listening to "Bewitched". Luna Official Page
