Title: 1994 the year in music nostalgia official thread
Post by: hutch on January 15, 2014, 09:53:54 am
so much great music came out....

this one came out January 24, 1994 in the UK..probably took a bit longer to make it out in the US...ended up on waxtrax of all labels....

I always wish they'd included Rez on this.... the dirty epic/cowgirl CD single which does include it is fantastic... i still think the best introduction to underworld.

I guess if you want to draw an analogy to America, 1991 in America (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgardren breakthrough and the alternative explosion, Metallica release the Black Album,  Guns N Roses return) is equal to 1994 in Britain.  It's tough to beat these four:

Yes it was. And despite being a big music fan in 1994, I only ever owned one of those albums and none of Brian's.

I guess I was Azaghal while Azaghal was still in diapers.

Albums like Bush's "Sixteen Stone" and Live's "Throwing Copper" are perfect for that type of thing...and Courtney Love could get Hole back together as well.  Are the Cranberries still together - "No Need to Argue" is another candidate.

"Sixteen Stone" and "Throwing Copper" probably sold more than any other album in this thread.  At least in America.  And probably spawned more "hit" singles, too.  "No Need to Argue" probably sold a lot too.  That was the one with "Zombie" wasn't it?   That song was huge.

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Orange
Pavement: Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain  (for some reason everyone of you forgot the second CR)
The Afghan Whigs: What Jail Is Like
Guided By Voices Bee Thousand

Caught both Jon S, Lucious J and Jeff B at the old 930 club that year too

It was a good year for music

Was just reading the File Under: Easy Listening chapter of Bob Mould's book today. He surprisingly wasn't crazy about how it came out and felt as though the process was rushed. I think it holds up pretty well even given the hilarious lifting of entire musical phrases from MBV; the most obvious being "Your Favorite Thing."

seriously...I remember talking to Bob beore his solo show at Georgetown and he talked about Loveless and how it wouldn't be fully appreciated for 20 years.. I find FUEL to be a big letdown....

another album I think was top notch but nobody has mentioned is Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Let Love In.....superlative.. I can remember buying that at the old Tower Records in Tyson and being blown away...

I guess Guided By Voices Bee Thousand has also been mentioned....

and how about the Mountain Goats Zopilote Machine?

so many albums that came out in 1994 had a big impact on me...

Johnny Cash's American Recordings came out in 94 and I think it was a very important album....not only did it really first introduce me to his music (and revitalize his career for a great final act) in an album form and not just a few songs you heard on the radio... but  I think it may have made many people take a new look at country music.. i wonder if alternative country would have happened without this album...i don't mean would people have recorded it but would people have bought it..

Manu Chao's Clandestino is his first solo record but arguably his last one "with" Mano Negra was a Mano Negra record in name only... to me this album fits in very well with Clandestino...I didn't hear it until later tough but its a good one

The performance had next to no one at it.  So I am guessing I am not the only one to have never heard of her before.  But she was playing at the same time as Shovels and Rope.  That might have lead to the no show crowd.  Are you truthfully telling me you listened to Iris Dement in 1994?

Fun year for concerts for me:

Bookended by Geo Clinton and PFunk Jan 1 (DAR) and Dec 31 (Warner), 1994 also had Pink Floyd (Yankee Sta, RFK),  Rolling Stones (Voodoo Lounge - RFK, Giants Sta, Foxboro Sta), Johnny Cash (Warner), Pearl Jam (Patriot Ctr - the Cobain discovery day), Billy Joel/Elton John (RFK), Lollapalooza at CharlesTown Races, a handful+ of Grateful Dead shows, and a nice 930 selection (including Meat Puppets, Michelle Shocked, Thee Hypnotics, Ice-T & Body Count, Helmet, "O.D. Jubilee Band" a/k/a Black Crowes, two nights of Rev HH).
Oh, and Woodstock '94 too.
