It's classic Crazy Horse -- rated the 36th best Grunge Album by Rolling Stone in 2019.

After the critical success of their 1996 album, All Set, the band intentionally pivoted to a more "modern" sound for the follow-up, an ironic nod that birthed the album's title. Although the album was recorded with the idea that it sound contemporary, many thought it sounded like that…

Moving away from the straight-ahead rock of his previous record, the album features a more somber, introspective, and mature sound, exploring themes of life, love, and mortality. Guess that'll happen as you age. The album continues Mellencamp's heartland rock sound and he and…

Just watched a video the dude from Superdrag posted about how to play this Superdrag song, the guitar tuning, the chord progressions.. unreal. And now my mind is kinda blown. He's such an amazing guitar player and songwriter. Mad underrated. I mean, I have a Superdrag tattoo. Maybe I'm biased. They mean a lot to me. This here song.
Might have to go on a Superdrag bender.

An absolutely gorgeous day for a drive here in the great northwoods of Wisconsin on my way back to the house when one of those “highway songs” shows up.

Gonna bend one of my rules here and throw on something that has (ick) looney tune Ted Nugent in it but it also has Jack Blades of Night Ranger and Tommy Shaw of Styx fame. So, I’ll give Nugent a pass but just this once.

Say what you will about Springsteen but this is among his better tunes as far as I’m concerned. For what that’s worth. 😉

CD inserts ftw. I already have an old copy of this, of course, since it's my favorite album, but I found this MINTY CD copy of Too High to Die at thrift the other day, and as a rule, I had to grab it.

Looks like I'm going through (my) #PerfectAlbums today. They're all subjective.
This one might not be some people's tastes. But to me, it's perfect.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF0yIDuA63HW_poHh4aIyAmJovdFOgl0w
I'm a Meat Puppets fanatic, seen em multiple times, love stuff from all the albums. But only a few of their records I find perfect. I'm not big on their super early stuff. Bits and pieces.
I dig 'Monsters' from 1989 fully, but it's not an 'anytime' kind of record for me. So the first Meat Puppets record I find perfect - an 'anytime' album - is 1991's 'Forbidden Places'.
Has some real alt-country on this one (as most Puppets records do, it's not much, among the blazing guitars). From the first seconds and minutes of "Sam" - I mean, they still play this live. It is WILD. They Might Be Giants covered "Whirlpool". This album is rad, man. From "No Longer Gone" (which was my username on Twitter for many years) 🤣 to the title track, just legendary. Underrated?

I had this badass Soundgarden "Kickstand" shirt around 1995 probably that was done by an artist called Pushead. I wore it til it fell apart. Wish I still had it 😂 They sell for a lot now (see attached sold eBay listing, not mine).
That back graphic! 🔥 What a SONG, too. That first line, "Kickstand, you broke loose and I threw up" it's just like 🤯
Soundgarden were on another LEVEL with this album.
