Michigander. Maybe a poet? But track record says I’m a poser.
Listener of music. Reader of books. In summer see me at Lake Michigan a lot offering the appearance of being hip because I am wearing sunglasses. 🏳️‍🌈 Gen X for life.

1997 this album came out and it felt like the future had finally arrived. I didn’t know what to think as I first listened . I did know that this track was and still is an ascending masterpiece.

And one day I am gonna grow wings.

Such a moving song. Her cover of the Lucinda Williams song Passionate Kisses was the album’s big hit but this song ends the 1992 release with top notch balladry.

A great song off a great album. 1993 brought us this amazing song. Produced by Brian Eno.

Perhaps my most listened to 90s album. A massive fan of the band. I still come back to this great song that now feels ubiquitous when compiling songs from this era. 1992 still sounds magical.

Here’s a little ghost for the offering.

The live version of this appeared on Rock Spectacle, late 1996. I was vaguely in the know but this album introduced them and this amazing song to me. It is always fun to try and belt this one out when it comes on.

January 1990. Beautiful lyrics. Beautiful voice. Feels a bit of The Smiths (same record label I think). The jangly guitars sound so perfect.

🎶 It's that little souvenir,
of a terrible year,
which makes my eyes feel sore 🎶

1992 and grunge was a cultural force. I wasn’t cool enough to know Mother Love Bone and this tour de force version of this song until this soundtrack. It is eight and a half minutes and every second feels like part of the story.

1994- this version of this song. Released a few months before his death. Watching it just now as I post this and it’s easy to take for granted how potent that moment was almost 32 years ago.

A very 90s sounding song. Released in 1995, this was instantly my favorite song by these guys and one you still have to turn up and sing along with.

Such a great song. So many DMB songs in the 90s could make this list. This one keeps resonating. Love the lyrics. Love the layers of instrumentation. It keeps inspiring me all this time later.

1992. I love this album. This was the first single release, full of angst and wondering.

The 1990s were a diverse musical experience for me.1993 delivered this one. A beautiful song by Rickie Lee Jones.

In my view, this song is 90’s cannon. Was great to have a woman’s voice among the male centric grunge era songs that were coming out. This one still a regular in 2025. So take your hat off, won’t you?

This album was and is such a treasure. It ends with this song, and acoustic version of an earlier song of theirs. It absolutely still packs an emotional wallop from way back in ‘92. Such a great musical duo.

Off their 1992 third studio album, this one still rocks out in full. Somewhere in between their 80s style and the yet to come big hits, I think this one is near the top of their catalog.

An anthemic pop song,. A video without the musical artist (instead filled with super models). A song to sing loudly. 1990 brought us this magic.
