The Fray - How to Save a Life.

I was listening to the always entertaining podcast 60 songs that explain the 90’s (now into the 2000s). The discussion? Denver’s own The Fray and the song How to Save a Life.

Billy Strings - Home.

Ive been able to see @billystrings twice now. Once at Ohana a few years ago and an absolutely magical night in Denver. That Denver show was an all timer. Phenomenal musicianship. Hope to see him down the road and I hope you do too.

Roger Waters – Radio K.A.O.S. (1987)

A concept album built around Billy, a disabled man who can hear radio waves and communicates through a DJ in L.A. A surreal mix of political critique, Cold War paranoia, and synth-laced storytelling. Underrated, bold, and uniquely Roger.

Led Zeppelin – In Through the Out Door
The band’s most unexpected turn—less riff, more reflection. Synth-heavy, emotionally rich, and wrapped in a brown paper bag. “Fool in the Rain” and “All My Love” showed a softer side, just before the end.

Eddie Vedder – Ukulele Songs
A stripped-down gem from Pearl Jam’s frontman, Ukulele Songs (2011) is exactly what it sounds like—Eddie Vedder, a ukulele, and a whole lot of heart.

Jason Mraz – Live at Java Joe’s
Stripped-down and intimate set from his early days, recorded in the coffeehouse that helped launch his career. Acoustic storytelling at its finest.

Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds – 1992

Izzy teams up with Rick Richards (Georgia Satellites), Jimmy Ashhurst (later Buckcherry), and Chalo Quintana (Social D) for a raw, rootsy rock revival that still holds up.

KISS - Destroyer

My first real dive into KISS beyond the hits. “Detroit Rock City” still rips, but “God of Thunder” and “Shout It Out Loud” seal it. Total classic.

The Beatles – Help!
Released in 1965 as the soundtrack to their second feature film. Seven tracks made it into the movie, including the title song, one of Lennon’s most personal.

Herbie Hancock – Future Shock
This was my intro to Herbie through the Rockit video on MTV. Scratching, robots, jazz fusion—what was this sorcery?

The Whitlams - Eternal Nightcap.

Here’s the 1997 album from Australia’s @thewhitlams.official I use to play this music trivia game in Yahoo chat rooms (Remember those?) and that’s how I found out about the band and this album.

When I think of underrated 90’s albums I think of this one and Paw’s Dragline, oh and Gruntruck’s Push.
