Okay, I’ve been quiet on Facebook for a while, so I think it’s time to flex my song-a-day muscles. This one’s gonna be a little more ambitious, though, so buckle in.
I’ll be talking about hits and trends that I watched happen in the 90s that made me think about earlier music. This will be divided into three sections:
#1 – Giants on the Shoulders of Giants
This will include important songs and artists from the 90s compared with their musical predecessors. In many cases, I will be matching groups that the 90s artists don’t necessarily acknowledge as influences, but they share musical DNA.
#2 – Evolving Artists
This section will be all about how bands change over time – bands that were still active and well-known in the 90s but came from an earlier background. This list will include bands that were still together and artists that went solo or joined other projects.
#3 – Stream of Consciousness
This section will be more about my personal connections to music – songs that made me think of other songs for more free-associative reasons. You may not always see them the same way, but I’ll explain my logic so you can be amused by my connections.
Again, all of this is just about my experience. For those of you who have not seen me do this before, my lists are not meant to be all-encompassing or definitive. It’s just my own musical essay that I want to share.
Oh, and the ambitious part? I’ll be posting two songs per day. I’ll start with the 90s song and then I’ll post the connection in the comments. That’s 62 songs I have prepared for March.
