Customer Reviews:

A nice mix of pop and alternative tracks from the 90s.......2005-02-04

I have to admit, I'm an 80s music fan, and I didn't find much to like in the early 90s grunge scene. This compilation provides a nice overview of what I did like about the 90s, especially some of the more alternative songs and bands. For starters, there's my favorite 90s group, the Gin Blossoms, featured here with their biggest hit "Hey Jealousy" (I would have preferred the less-played, more soulful "Found Out About You"). In other radio hits, you have Cracker's "Low," a gritty tune I found surprisingly appealing. A bit more off-beat but still-familiar tunes include "Dreams" by The Cranberries and "There She Goes" by The La's. The remaining tracks, a mix of hits and songs I'd never heard of, varied from upbeat and dancey to more garish and grating. However, most people will find something they like here, and if you're looking for an eclectic 90s collection, this might just fit the bill.

Correction.......2004-07-15

Whoops - i just reread my review and I have to say I missed the mark on one item: there IS some top-40 junk on here, namely the overproduced one-hit wonder "Everything About You", though that track is still amusingly subversive. There are also a few others that got way too much radio play as another reviewer noted. But overall still a great disc.

Good '90s overview.......2003-02-23

There were some musical trends I didn't like in the not-so-distant '90s liek grunge, boy bands and rap-rock, but plenty that was pretty good too, mostly in the mainstream pop and rock areas. This collection has a pretty good mix, it seems to focus on the '91-'97 period too, leaving out the very end of the decade.

I'm always a fan of one hit wonder songs on compilations, as many of these are. Plenty of upbeat pop/rock like EMF's "Unbelievable" Del Amitri's "Roll To Me" Jesus Jones' "Right Here Right Now" Blues Traveler's "Runaround" The Presidents' "Lump". Modern rock with a classic sound SmashMouth's "Walkin' on the Sun" Sheryl Crow's "Everyday Is A Winding Road". Melodic alternative pop/rock Toad the Wet Sprocket's "Walk On the Ocean" Gin Blossoms' "Hey Jealously" Cranberries' "Dreams" Even some fun hard rock in Ugly Kid Joe's "Everything About You" (used in the donut shop scene in Wayne's World).

That's already 11 out of 20 songs. Some are just good for laughs like Blind Melon's "No Rain". I can't really comment on the others since I usually skip past them.

Worth getting "Laid".......2003-02-04

There are a number of solid tracks on this disc, although some of these are still too fresh in our minds as having been overplayed on the radio. No such problem with James' "Laid," which was and is played infrequently only on alternative stations but which is one of the great underrated songs of the 90's.

Pretty good collection.......2002-12-22

Not a bad set of records here. I picked this up at first because I was looking for a compilation with the Soup Dragons' "I'm Free" (just try finding that anywhere else - I couldn't) and got a lot of great tunes along with it. Pretty much all great alternative rock and not a lot of crummy top-40 junk thrown in for filler (I guess "Everything About You" qualifies though). Still this is just a start and I would like to see more discs along these lines.
