90s girl

I spent all of last week in a rental car while my baby hung out at the collision shop (still dealing with everything from the accident) - there was XM radio, which was so freakin' awesome! Practically every moment I was in the car, the radio was tuned to the 90s station... Prince, Nirvana, Sarah McLachlan, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ace of Base, Soundgarden, The Lemonheads, Pearl Jam, Roxette, EMF, Indigo Girls, Gin Blossoms, and Blind Melon during my commute? Um, yes, please!

The 90s songs are those of my pre-teen/goofball years (7th & 8th grade), teenage/angst-ridden years (all of high school), and young adult/coming into my own years (all of college). Practically every popular 90s song has a memory attached to it; I can pretty much pinpoint what grade I was in when the song was released, and in some instances can even remember where I was when I first heard it (or who I was mooning over). I know some people hate the music from that decade (*ahem* Brazen Hussy), but I think it's fantastic. As much as I love 80s music, I really don't have many memories/attachments that actually came from the 80s as I was a little kid for most of the decade (well, except for "Little Red Corvette" - the video that cause my mother to ban me from watching MTV). My love for 80s music didn't really develop until I was in my 20s. Nineties music? It's the soundtrack of my life.

Christina: I took this pic just for you! 1990, baby! :)

I don't hate ALL music from the 90s... just grunge. Which seems to be most of it.

I love my Sirius radio. You should listen to First Wave...it's typically all Morrissey, all the time! LOL

now that Sirius and XM merged, I think you can get some of the same stations on each network.

Or you can sit in my car and listen to the Morrissey-a-thon with Tom (he likes Morrissey too) while I hurl a little bit. LOL

I have an all 90s playlist on my ipod that is about 4GB worth of music--I can sing along to 98% of all the lyrics. Imagine what I could fit in my head if there weren't space taken up by the lyrics to "Ice Ice Baby."
