Today while driving, I heard Little Backpack from Stroke 9. Best song ever written about a backpack. Maybe even the ONLY song written about one.
What are your 90’s throwbacks? List them here so we can compile a playlist. |
I HAD forgotten that song!
I listen to Better Than Ezra still and attend their concerts. Most people think of them as forgotten. |
This whooollleee album:
![]() I could sing every single word of this album. There's also all the swing music from the mid to late '90's - Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Bid Bad Voodoo Daddy, Squirrel Nut Zipper Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy, Allison Road, Found out About You Toad the Wet Sprocket, Jesus Jones. Damn I wish I was your lover by Sophie B. Hawkins. That is a jam. |
This literally transported me back to the Vapor Room in Rice Village, Houston, '95 or '96. We would have played it on the jukebox while sipping frozen screwdrivers. |
DAMN! Wish I were your lover! |
