Good 90's grunge/rock/alt stuff?

[Ajay Sharma]

I was watching a movie and it closed with a great song:

Local H - Born To Be Down
http://www.lala.com/#song/432627052153447462  (that's the album, click on Born To Be Down to listen to it)

I remember that song as being one of the stand out tracks from that whole mid to late 90's era when you had a bunch of shitty bands trying to take the place of Nirvana.

Does anyone else have any stand out tracks that are similar?

PS.  I've rebuild excellentonline.com again.  We're gearing up to keep that site updated starting January 1st.

I was a big fan of "Watch The Girl Destroy Me" by Possum Dixon, as well as "Need You Around" by the Smoking Popes...   M --- On Wed, 12/16/09, Ajay Sharma <ajayro...@gmail.com> wrote:

I throw in one vote for The Pulsars' Suffocation!

After seeing their reunion in Brooklyn a few weeks ago I was so pleasantly surprised by how many of their songs I remembered.

Sloan's first album was very grunge but has several great songs like "Underwhelmed", "500 Up", and "I Am The Cancer". Also, I stand by Dig's "Believe" as a great single.

Good call on "Watch The Girl Destroy Me." I always thought that was fantastic. I'm a big fan of "In The Meantime" by Spacehog.

Dig's "Believe" is great. Also, "Stars" by Hum.

I'd also recommend "Souled Out" by Supreme Love Gods. Not a hit by any standards but it got some play on KROQ back in the day.

OK I am going a little OT here but kinda similar in the " a good OLD song in a movie."  We rented Adventureland and the opening song was from the only American band that I still love from the back in the day. They are still on my iPod: The Replacements. It was Bastards of the Young, a brilliant song (not the one popular one that got radio air play) which made it an even nicer touch.   cheers, cassandra
