Author Topic: Just For Fun: A Music Poll--Alternative Pop of the Late '90s (Read 5235 times)

Not relevant to our movement... I'm just thinking back on my life and having a nostalgic moment--hardly believing it has been TEN YEARS since "Rockabye" (probably my favorite song of my senior year in H.S.) came out.

For everybody who doesn't know these songs, they were folk-alternative songs of the late '90s that came out within a couple years of each other and saw tremendous airplay on adult pop/alternative stations. I think they are very similar and that Shawn Mullins based his huge hit "Rockabye" on "Pepper" by the Surfers which came out a couple years prior.

Chaimfan, just feeling wistful and reminiscent.

I pretty much stopped listening to the radio after grunge died. Now I go onto youtube to listen to songs I like and learn about new bands.

I've heard one of the songs you mentioned in your thread but don't know the other one so it's hard to make a comparison. I might listen to them both later to vote in your poll.

I know it is just the name of a band, but please keep it clean. This is exactly the type of behavior that JTF despises. It doesn't matter if it is homosexual or not.

I never liked Grunge... Im kinda glad it died... It was a deathllike music.. So much whining and complaining about how bad life is... I think it sucked. Never liked Cobain.

TBOT, I reentered the name of the band as the Surfers, strictly so people would know what song I was talking about.

PS: I know most of you will disagree with me, but I positively loved Kurt Cobain and Nirvana (especially pre-In Utero). It was great "angry music" that I could relate to growing up (and now too, at times). Yes, he was a very lost and disturbed individual, but at least he raged on with real passion and didn't talk about hoes and blunts and shootings the way schvartze rap pigs do. I still say Kurt saved rock and roll...

Red Eye is hilarious

It's mostly satire anyways...not to be taken seriously.

they are good conservatives mostly too it seems, and Greg is one of us

Oh Please...

Kurt Saved Rock.... He never would have known Rock music if it hit him in the face...

When you live your life like a heroine addict, who whines and moans to music, you will most probrobly die from your depression. I was a Deadhead for all the years of Grunge and that was REAL ROCK music compared to Cobains drivel.

Sorry... But I adamantly think this music was shlock...

Shlock is a yiddish word which means 'junk' or 'poor quality'.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/schlock

Our Living Language : A good number of English words borrowed from Yiddish (a variety of German with an admixture of Hebrew and Slavic elements) are recognizably of foreign extraction because they begin with sound combinations (shl-, shm-, shn-) not found at the beginnings of native English words. Schlock is such a word; it is descended from a Middle High German word for a hit or blow, and thus came to refer to damaged merchandise, and then to merchandise of poor quality. Other words beginning with this and similar sound combinations are Yiddish also: schlep, schlemiel, schmooze, schmuck, and schnoz. These words may not be equally common in all regions of the United States; they are most frequently heard in areas with sizable Jewish populations that either speak Yiddish or are descended from Yiddish speakers, such as New York City. Of course, not all Yiddish words borrowed into English begin with the sound (sh); one need only think of bagel, lox, blintz, nosh, meshugga, and kibbitz to get a feeling for the variety of words that Yiddish-speaking Jews brought with them to America.

PS: I believe everyone has a right to like or dislike what he/she wants. But I have a definate dislike for this kind of depressing and melancholy music.

Poll

Do the songs "Rockabye" by Shawn Mullins and "Pepper" by the [Removed by tbot] sound similar?
