    I want the time I spent on this game back, and I will siphon it from Brad McQuaid's soul if I have to.

    Molten variables hiss and roar. On my mind-forge, I hammer them into the greatsword Epistemology. Many are my foes this night.

    The best Album of the 90's was Fat of the Land

    I want to agree with you, but Surrender came out in 1999, so I can't.

    That is a big album, but I think Fat was better. It's just wall to wall with massively iconic tunes.

    In the hours since we made these posts, I listened to both albums.

    I still prefer Surrender, but then the Chems are probably my favourite electronica group of all time so I'm biased.

    Really in the 90's I stopped listening to the radio in the late 90's as I just did not like it
    But songs blatantly about sex from women were new to me
    I spoiled the songs because I either ramble or they are NSFW Generally I really ran away from pop radio and never looked back
    I really was into Metal in the early 90's and when ZRock changed it's format from metal to Christian country was one of the really strange things I just didn't understand

    One of the odd arguments I know of that I really want to know their answer now is one that changed over time yet was the same answer
    How country music went from in the early 90's The same answer of:
    It's not what it was

    As they were really vocal about how it was going pop radio when I was complaining of how I really disliked the radio for the inane drivel and playing the same songs over and over
    That I craved a way to find music other than the radio and people at the record stores selling you their favs

    I really want to know their answer now hearing what country music is now
    But there are a few things I really would like to know how it played out from then from certain people as some of them it was going to be soon


    But yeah I really know my search for in vain for new and interesting music really was an ever growing quest with no end that I have no idea where to start or talk to people about started back then

    Yes. This.

    However, on top of my love for Cracker and Black Crowes and all things grunge I should also confess that the 90s created one of my other favorite guilty pleasures, Hanson.

    I tried to see them a few years ago but one of them was sick so they only did half a show and never rescheduled.

    Every time I use this feature I wonder where I'd be if I'd instead used that time learning a foreign language or practicing with a musical instrument.

    Then I get sad for a while. :(

    Oh oh, can I share some 90s upbeat Canadiana? Sorry if it's been shared already.

    First The Raccoons. While it started airing in the 80s, it's was basically on repeat. Also the 90s didn't really come to Canada until about 1994.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c7m-EhQhFU

    For music, we had our own Grunge and Post-grunge thing going on

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CBBtorFg2I

    But later in the decade things got a little more bubble-gum.

    A 90s thing I have nostalgia for is Discworld Noir, a game that as of Windows 10 is impossible to play without a full Windows 98 VM setup.

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

    It may be my favourite game, and definitely my favourite point+click adventure game.

    Local radio station I like was talking about NHL.com's survey of the top team jerseys as picked by the fans. It was era specific, and the old jersey for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim came up.

    I remember those. They were the most 90s jerseys.

    A kid in my class had one of those

    I would win one of his custom pogs, then swap it back to him at an exorbitant rate
