what up?

im making a compilation cd for this girl im crushin on and i would like everyones imput on what would sond good on there.

as the title stated i wanted a 90's mix. doesnt really have to be indie. but you know the feel im looking for.

(if this discussion needs to be moved to a different place, im sorry.)

I'm not too good on the 90's. I was in middle school for that whole time. Jeff Buckley's "Lover, You Should've Come Over" is a real heartbreaker though.

Spiritualized- Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Outer Space: I have sad this over and over again but this opening track does not fail to impress.
The The- This is the Day: Yes, it's the '80s but the song is bloody brilliant.
My Bloody Valentine- When You Sleep: There's a possibility that it will scare her.
69 Love Songs by the Magnetic Fields: Choose what you like!
Actually anything by the Magnetic Fields
Yo La Tengo- Autumn Sweater: Dig it!

First of all, if you are crushing on the girl and truly trying to impress her then you should do this entirely on your own. It has to have your own touch, not what a bunch of music geeks picked out. If you really don't want to do that then I will list the albums from the 90s that should be included and you could essentially pick out any song from those albums to do the trick:

Aphex Twin- Selected Ambient Works 85-92, Richard D. James Album
Beck – Odelay, Mutations, Midnite Vultures
Björk- Debut, Post, Homogenic
Buena Vista Social Club – S/T
Nirvana- Nevermind, In Utero, MTV Unplugged in New York
R.E.M.- Automatic for the People
The Flaming Lips – Transmissions from the Satellite Heart, Clouds Taste Metallic, The Soft Bulletin
Weezer – S/T (Blue Album), Pinkerton
The Chemical Brothers – Exit Planet Dust, Dig Your Own Hole
Radiohead – The Bends, OK Computer
Elliott Smith – S/T, Either/Or, XO
Garbage – Version 2.0
Lauryn Hill – The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Moby – Play
The Roots – Things Fall Apart
U2- Achtung Baby
Wilco – Summerteeth, Being There
Yo La Tengo- Fakebook, Painful, I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One

haha. i have had this cd for years and have failed to listen to it. no clue why.

and fragile that is true. but you can also look at it this wat that im trying to find the PERFECT cd and going extra lengths to make sure shes happy.

im corny. i know.

thanks for the help so far

Hey it's cool, I would go for Weezer's Pinkerton, mainly because well I just love that album and anything by Yo La Tengo, Radiohead, Elliott Smith, Wilco, U2, R.E.M., Beck and Björk for sure.

Gotta put some Pavement in there, for sure...

Neutral Milk Hotel's song 'in the aeroplane over the sea' from the same-titled album is guaranteed to make you happy.

yea fragile, me and that girl were just discussing pinkerton last weekend i think about how both of us didnt like it when it was released now its one of our favorites.

did you like pinkerton when it came out?

i really underestimated that cd. that and bushes razorblade suitcase.

Haha, I was only 11 years old when that CD came out so unfortunately I didn't get to it until maybe a year or 2 after that. Right around 1997-98, I found a ton of music that I utterly fell in love with and this was one of those albums. When I did hear it though I just melted. It is gripping, emotional, smart; simply a blistering album to get ahold of. I never thought anything less of it and I like everything about it, and it is a concept album too! I love the Madame Butterfly influence and the way that Rivers Cuomo tried to model this after it, I love the choice of artwork--boy I just love it period. My girlfriend prefers their self-titled debut because well, its nicer, easier on the ears, more lovey-dovey and what not but I will take the amazing album about a guy who foolishly falls for lesbians any day. It is a thing of beauty--but I also do like their first album a lot as well.

Let me know what songs you end up choosing and good luck, it is hard to impress chicks.

Merry X-Mas. Here's some cool 90s tracks that both you and your potential chick can enjoy. I left out the super common stuff I'm sure you already know about (Weezer, U2, Radiohead, Belle & Sebastian, Neutral Milk Hotel, Elliot Smith). Not that there's anything wrong with those guys, but I figured you might want some deeper cuts.

"Enjoy The Silence" - Depeche Mode
"The Ship Song" - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
"Tomorrow, Wendy" - Concrete Blonde
"All Shook Down" - The Replacements
"The Concept" - Teenage Fanclub
"Country Feedback" - R.E.M.
"Here" - Pavement
"Stratford-on-Guy" - Liz Phair
"Debonair" - Afghan Whigs
"Candy" - Morphine
"Laid" - James
"Web In Front"- Archers of Loaf
"Into Your Arms" - The Lemonheads
"Someone to Pull The Trigger" - Matthew Sweet
"Last Goodbye" - Jeff Buckley
"The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get" - Morrisey
"Tom Courtenay" - Yo La Tengo
"On Fire" - Sebadoh
"Sink to the Bottom" - Fountains of Wayne
"Flower Girl" - Joe Henry
"(Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?" - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
"Buy Her Candy" - Sleater-Kinney
"Where Do I Begin" - The Chemical Brothers
"Song 2" - Blur
"Protection" - Massive Attack
"Torture" - Jon Spencer BLues Explosion
"No DIstance Left To Run" - Blur
"Major Leagues" - Pavement

And if you really want to get with this chick, you've got to put Massive Attack's "Protection" on there. Totally sexy tune. It's the 90s version of "Let's Get It On".

haha eric you gave me some bad choices if i want to impress her rather than get in her pants, lol.

i.e "laid" by james.

even though i like the song, just not gonna put it on this cd, lol.

but thanks everyone who chimed in.

fragile ill give you a track listing when i get home 2nite.

I thought you were trying to get into her pants, no? Either way, "Laid" is a classic. Everyone digs that tune. In no scenario is that a bad choice.

haha. i already have. but this girl is special, i want more

but like i said earlier i told fragile i would give my track listing out. i actually made two cds. one being a poppier alt/indie cd with the more notable songs for her to remember back on. the second being songs that most of the country didn't get a chance to hear.

cd1.
1. marcys playground ~ sex and candy.
2. silverchair ~ tomorrow
3. savage garden ~ i want you
4. oasis ~ champagne supernova
5. smashing pumpkins ~ tonight, tonight
6. ben folds five ~ brick
7. weezer ~ el scorcho
8. verve pipe ~ freshman ( we were really freshman in hs when this came out, ha)
9. beck ~ where its at
10. bush ~ swallowed
11. sublime ~ garden grove
12. rage ~ people of the sun
13. nin ~ perfect drug
14. blur ~ song 2
15. live ~ lightning crashes
16. cake ~ friend is a four letter word
17. vertical horizon ~ everything you want
18. hootie ~ only wanna be with you(lol)

the second i dont feel like typing tonight. maybe tomorrow night.

Haha, good mix yorkie. Looks like you went for more of a rock feel with a touch of radio hits on this CD. Either way I hope it helps in your search for something special. OK, enough sentimental writing for tonight.

On a more very, very, very serious and bewildered note, even if it came out in 2006, how does thomeyorkeisgod not have a song by Thom Yorke's The Eraser in this mix?!?!

ahhhh im freakin' tired of my name already!!!

can you change it? i'll change it to something a little more none yorkish, lol.

but yea i went w/ the radio hits with that cd. and the other cd ill type out later 2nite is more of the indie feel.

and sorry to dissapoint you....

still no thom yorke on this cd. lol

Heh. Yes, you can change your name, tyig. Go to your Profile and you can change it to anything you like.

Now Playing: Cirque du Soleil at the Super Bowl pre-show, which is just so very, very wrong...

I'm not a 90's indie expert, but here's some I would include:


Bedhead - "More Than Ever"
Magnetic Fields - "I Don't Want To Get Over You"
Poole - "Feeling Ill Tonight"
Damien Jurado - "Ohio"
Neutral Milk Hotel - "Holland, 1945"
Dismemberment Plan - "What Do You Want Me To Say"
David Francey - "Borderline"
Notwist - "No Encores"
Onelinedrawing - "Smile"
Mark Lanegan - "Carnival"
Delgados - "Pull the Wires From the Wall"

Hey, I was just picking on you but didn't mean for you to change your name. I just like picking on you because you do have a funny name and I just think it's funny. But don't go changing your name on account of me being a jerk.
