One of those times I'm glad I'm older...got to see him twice.

Great thread. Damn... that list from the fall of 1995 is absolutely stunning. So many gems.
How awesome was Jagged Little Pill?
And a song I haven't thought about in years... Tomorrow by Silverchair. Frogstomp was an excellent album.
He was a great talent. Gone too soon, such a loss. That video is great. Jeff Healey was so underrated too... another huge loss.

I hated Silverchair back in those days, seemed like a cheap Nirvana ripoff. But I read some great reviews for Young Modern (2007) when it came out and also some raving about their previous album Diorama (2002) so I checked 'em both out and still listen to them today. Both (especially Diorama) are EXCELLENT albums.
Hmmm... must have just been something that struck you at the time. I can't think of any song of theirs that reminds me of Nirvana.
I've listened to some of their later stuff and liked it too.

People were calling them a Nirvana clone at the time (and calling STP a Pearl Jam clone), probably not the most accurate description But I definitely didn't like the songs I'd heard by them which was probably only 3 or 4. They were really young, and so I just dismissed them (liked STP, though!)
Do check out their last 2 albums if you aren't already familiar with them.
For sure. And to the "OP's" point in that Twitter thread... every era had also had tons of absolute shit music.
The early to mid 90s though, had an incredible amount of great music.

Personally, I’m digging the shift back o good old rock and roll. Sheepdogs, Glorious sons, Greta Van Fleet. New music that sounds old and I love it. Monster Truck too.
Not sure if I've posted this before... but I love these guys.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Nothing will ever be better than CFNY in the 80's "Spirit of Radio" era. Then the suits and bean counters took over, like they took over all of terrestrial radio across North America. Nowadays only losers even turn on their radios on the FM dial looking for music. The only local radio station I listen to is the TSN radio affiliate(on AM). Aside from that I listen to satellite radio or Spotify. I wouldn't even bother trying to listen to music on terrestrial radio anymore. Complete wasteland.
I'll just put this out there because I thought it was funny. I work in a stone processing plant. Big saw with a diamond blade cutting through slabs of stone. I checked my phone while standing beside it, and whatever app Google is using on my Pixel that tells you what song you are listing to, said it was Linkin Park. Sorry, I can't remember now what the song name was.

The more modern stabs at Christmas songs don’t really land with me. This one is not bad, maybe it can catch on a bit, but nothing touches the oldies. I think Mariah Carey’s might be the only one in the last 20 years that qualifies as a classic.
Also, I love Sheeran but he’s really someone best heard and not seen. Every moment he’s on camera anywhere makes me cringe. Reminds me also of his GOT cameo and his equally bad Red Notice follow up. Stick to singing, have other people in your videos, no more cameos.

This is actually a good Christmas rock song.
