6-Pack (1993)

[cortez the killer]

Phenomenal, phenomenal year in my personal music-loving history.

At the time:




Six more I came to appreciate after the moment:




Countless others, but I will let the fine folks of 3DD fill in the blanks.

Ok, I figure I'll give my stab at one of these 6-pack threads. 1993 was a very very good year for all sorts of music coming out. I had just graduated high school and was really starting to branch out, but at the same time was still in my 'metal phase' as it were. So these were what I was into that year:








Backup 6-pack & stuff I got interested in later:
Anthrax - The Sound of White Noise
Duran Duran - s/t (wedding album)
Sepultura - Chaos A.D.
Bjork - Debut
Phish - Rift
Cynic - Focus

*edit: and if there was room, I definitely would include the Carcass, Entombed, and Death albums that Bill in CT had in his 6-pack. Great year for death metal. R.I.P. Chuck Schuldiner

B-Rox just miss

[cortez the killer]

B-Rox just miss

Even with the benefit of hindsight? Completely unacceptable!

[cortez the killer]

Aimee Mann - Whatever

I love that album.

Aimee Mann - Whatever

I love that album.

Glad to hear it! She could do no wrong in that era as far as I'm concerned.

Look. I want to squeeze it in with those titans.

I just... I just can't. I don't like it anymore than you do. If I had to knock any out, it would be Siamese Dream, but I can't undo the way that album blew my 8 year old mind.

"Voices Carry" by Til Tuesday was my first foray into the world of Aimee Mann. Whatever is a beast of an album. We played the fuck out of Whatever on the radio show I was part of in college - especially "I Should've Known," "Could've Been Anyone," & "Put Me on Top."

Well, you are a big Gaslight Anthem fan, so I suppose I understand.

I've been cranking Blink 182 and Sum 41 all night. My parents just don't understand me, and I really like this cute, bookish girl from my 5th period American Lit. I'm really in touch with my emotions, and a very sensitive, intelligent (albeit misunderstood by society) young man. I can't figure out why she gives handjobs to the entire defensive backfield at lunch and doesn't seem to care about the over-wrought, well thought out CD mixes I've been leaving in her locker.

You aren't exactly helping matters.

[beantownbubba]

You guys aren't making me feel old, you're making me feel absolutely ancient. By 1993, I had 2 kids, the older of whom was already in elementary school; I had left the job i thought I'd have forever and the one after that; and not only did i already have a rather large mortgage, i'm guessing i had already refinanced it once (not sure about the exact date on that one). <shakes gray, balding head, hobbles away on cane muttering to self and drooling>

I wish there was a year like '93 during my collegiate experience, musically speaking.

I guess I'll just have to settle for having come of age during the era of ubiquitous femi-scaping.

[Zip City]

1993 was my 2nd year in college, and I too went to that year's Lollapalooza. What a great day

[Gator McKlusky]

Wait, Cortez was a fratboy? That's OK, I guess I forgive you; we all make mistakes.

Second grade would have worked for me as well.

The funny part of it was my frat was filled with hip-hop loving club boys. We were known for having "club parties" on a small, private liberal arts college in the middle-of-nowhere, Upstate NY. Fuckin' brutal. A small group of us used to break away & host a "Fine Music Lovers" get-together in a locked bedroom.

Yeah. You know me. You must be down with OPP.
