Phrasing? But I see what @avclub-b750f74544cb00c138079607276995e9:disqus is saying. I also thought that Hysteria was a better album than either of those two Def Leppard albums, but my older cousin thought the same way as you. 1994 was simply the musical period where I got over Nirvana and finally embraced my inner…

I can't like this enough. Still kinda pissed that I never saw the Melvins at least once when they made their way thru Pittsburgh when I was living there.

I'm fairly certain that Our Band Could Be Your Life lumped Beat Happening in with all the above (and more). Not that the book is a good guide by any means to bands of that era, but it's at least a good starting point for seeing how diverse music really was then.

I really don't think Screeching Weasel is -that- obscure. Unless you grew up in a really, really, really podunk, middle of nowhere town, of course.

Ya just need to switch up hands every now and then. Changing up lubes isn't such a bad thing either, branch out into random hot sauces just to "spice" things up! (This is just a joke, of course. Unless you're into that thing. In which case I don't judge. "Different strokes for different folks!")

It seemed like everyone I knew in '94 had this on tape or CD (usually the former, since we were all broke college kids and no one had standard issue CD players yet). I didn't ever get it, because my reasoning back then was that all the good songs were the ones that got radio/MTV airplay.

I've never known even half the words to that song, but "whining eyes" is the winner for the I Don't Even Know What That Means Award.

Sympatico was a decent follow up to Copacetic, but always seemed too much of a right turn towards feel good pop music compared to the far superior predecessor. Copacetic really sums up a strange time in life for me back then, and a lot of the songs off it (Crazy Town, the odd choice of opener Pretty Sister, pretty…

Yeah, I read that second quote you have there and nearly spewed my beer. I've never been a big fan of Green Day (I find them inoffensive at best), and can only admit to having purchased "Nimrod" back in the day, but calling them a successor to Nirvana?

Um, Payback?

I believe he did that for you already.

I'd pay to see that!

A horror is exactly what these "religious" movies are.

Get is what, exactly.

Papillon is an amazing, awesome, just plain great movie. After seeing it for the first time (oddly, on the same day as when the Columbia broke up on re-entry), I watched nothing but Steve McQueen movies for the next two months.

I like how no one gets this…

I'm reading that it's on CBS, but are we sure that NBC wasn't just misspelled?

Acting!!!
