Sunday Morning 90s Music Playlist

2 min read

The older I get, the more nostalgia I feel for the 90s. I was in high school in the 90s and the music of that time was my escape from challenging experiences at home. MTV actually played music and it was my gateway to self-expression. I admired the bands, the styles, the music, and the visuals on music videos.

I think I am in 10th or 11th grade here.

For today's Ultimate Blog Challenge post, I thought it would be fun to create a little music video playlist of some of my favorite videos of the time.

R.E.M. is one of my favorite bands. Michael Stipe is a huge inspiration in my life. I could go on and on just how much the music of R.E.M. has meant to me over the years.

The Rentals is a band fronted my Matt Sharp (who used to be a member of Weezer). The album "Return Of The Rentals" is still played regularly in my car.

The song Santa Monica by Everclear and the album "Sparkle and Fade" was part of my soundtrack of life at that time.

The Flaming Lips song "She Don't Use Jelly" was always a fun one to sing along to (it still is). The Flaming Lips are still going strong and have pivoted a lot musically. I had the opportunity to see them in concert last year. You can read about it in a previous blog post here.

The album "The Bends" by Radiohead is one of my favorite albums. "This song Street Spirit (Fade Out)" is one of my favorite songs from that album.

I love REM! Among my favorite 1990s music are mostly artists I already liked in the 1980s ;-) Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, Tina Turner, Céline Dion, Whitney Houston, Roxette, Ace of Base, to name a few.

I really love musical theater so I would say that some of my favorite 1990s music c omes from "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King"!

Well I don't know any of those song but I'm much older than you and I'm more into country music. However I stumbled across a faith based radio station, K-LOVE. It's not only the the radio, it's also on the internet and has an app for phones. When I'm traveling I can pick up a local station that carries it so I don't miss my favorite songs.

I think I'd say En Vogue ("No you're never going to get it...") is my favorite group, but I also liked Jodeci, Boys II Men (End of the Road), Mariah Carey (Always Be My Baby), SWV (Weak), Destiny's Child (everything) and Blackstreet (No Diggity - 2nd fave song, I'd say). I did like some of the rock bands but usually, it was one song I liked like Smells Like Teen Spirit, etc.

"She Don't Use Jelly" is one of those songs you can't help singing along to, and I love that you got to see the Flaming Lips in concert last year. It says a lot that the music from those years still means so much to you, especially since it was your escape during a hard time. For my own 90s playlist, Oasis would be right at the top, and "Wonderwall" still gets me singing every time it comes on. This playlist is going to send a lot of us back to watching MTV in our heads, Jennifer.
