Ezra Cohen
John Snodgrass
Broken Gold
New Junk City
Restorations

That's a lot of highlights..

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam

I still buy cds so my spotify is skewed towards bands whose cds are expensive it tough to get (pearl jam and collective soul). Hot Water music released a few pre album singles that kicked them up in my listening. But yeah, this is my spotify year...

My bluesky still doesn't feel very personalised(it'll take time i guess), a few more lists like this will help
Thanks for including us in this pack!
I started a punk rock/hardcore/indie starter pack. Feel free to message me to add labels/bands/photographers/writers/artists to it.

I reckon Philip Sayce has the best live guitar sound going (subjectively and from my limited perspective). Anyone else have suggestions of guitarists who's sound live is different class?
