    You may hear Sugar Ray in the grocery store with their easy hits of When it's Over, Someday and Every Morning
    But lets remember what they were before the Album Floored

    I had actually heard of Dre and Ed Lover before, because my brother used to listen to Hot 97 all the time. I thought radio Dr. Dre was around before/around the same time as rapper Dre?

    Anytime 311 came on the radio, I always thought it was a Mountain Dew commercial.

    They had actual hits in the 90's, but I tend to think of Butthole Surfers in their true dirtbag 80's weirdo glory. Plus that was the decade they released Hairway to Steven, which may be my favorite album title of all time.

    “They sprinkled LSD on their cornflakes every morning," he continued, "which was then washed down with Johnny Walker Red. Beer for lunch, lowly Mexican dirt-weed smoked in bone-dry bongs for dinner, and then two hours of coughing fits and another bowl of LSD an hour before showtime."

    Butthole Surfers’ live shows—particularly those in the 1980s—are the stuff of monstrous myth and grotesque legend, involving everything from burger-stuffed mannequins to fist fights, fires, dye-filled condoms, nudity, and even supposedly full-on onstage sex once. All of this took place while layered and lysergic projections would show images of graphic medical procedures on the back wall—a fascination Leary and Haynes picked up early on, as demonstrated through their own ailment fanzine Strange VD.

    I'm surprised how little Oasis has been brought up, especially since they managed to be the head of some new "British Invasion." I remember wearing coloured round sunglasses for a brief period. Anyways here's Wonderwall.

    I actually preferred Champagne Supernova myself.

    Then there was the much maligned follow-up album, which is a perfect example of what happens when you do all the cocaine. You lose the ability to hear treble well, and want more of it in your music. Still I rather liked this song.

    every single one of my dirtbag high school friends loved the Butthole Surfers, but especially the song Pepper

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO8vBVUaKvk

    I don't think any of them could explain why but if I had to guess I'd say we were all desperate, even then

    For some reason I keep Butthole Surfers and Monster Magnet next to each other in my music filing system in my brain

    I think I like Monster Magnet more though

    even looking up on Google the biggest hits from the 90s the list seems dire to me.

    the butthole surfers are like primus but instead of being performatively, whimsically weird, they're the kind that's genuinely a little scary

    That is the magic of music in the 90's as it really no longer mattered to a lot of people about hits as there was favs you could share and not be scared to show people

    it's just weird. in the 90s I didn't really get into music because basically everthing on the radio didn't appeal to me at all in one way or another. usually I thought the stuff the other kids were into at school was some flavor of huge bummer or other especially grunge rock type stuff but everthing seemed to borrow that aesthetic to some extent. I spent most of the nineties with the only music I really listened to being stuff from the 70s maybe to the early 80s in the car with my mom.

    As I add these tracks to the Spotify playlist, a couple suggested tracks cross that line of 90s Canadiana and tracks the received a decent amount of play.
