Rusted Root - Sister Contine

Leonard Cohen - Waiting for the Miracle

Those are a couple of good songs from non-major bands of the 90's in my opinion.

It's too bad she was so horrible live back then.

You might remember their song "Stars" from "You'd Prefer an Astronaut", but their album "Downward is Heavenward" is probably one of the best albums of the 90's period.


I thought I was the only person to listen to them!

Now there's a song I haven't heard or even thought about in a while.

I'll add one of my favorite songs to the list:

Cracker - Low

I actually bought the album for $1 in the basement of a used book store seven or eight years ago :p
