It's sad of your passing but you inspired an excellent song in your memory. RIP Lela and Raymond Howard- Saturday, June 28 1997.

@Loomr there will always be a handful of bands that defy convention, regardless of era. the industrial work of skinny puppy, ministry, etc, in paving the way for guys like reznor, comes to mind. one of many. but unfortunately, the closed loop mentality and marketing of the early internet, basically laid the groundwork for the napster/mp3, mega-market, minimal-talent formula that rules the industry today. i knew that, the minute i heard the 1st 3 notes of 'teen spirit' on mtv. the fix was in.

@marks661man What about something like Prodigy though? I doubt they did their music only listening to record company executives and music journalists, it was a pretty new genre all together.
Maybe the industry has some input there but don't you think many of those iconic bands just did their own thing ... and copied what everyone else was doing at the time.

@Loomr 90's 'edge' and 'darkness', just like the punk revolt of the 1970s, was largely a music journalism creation. the 'i dont care and cant play my guitar worth shit and wear grubby clothes'-atttitude was played out. and any 'angst' or emotion you find in 90s music, is artificially manufactured, to be sure. getting teens to act out and moan about how shitty their life is, is like shooting fish in a barrel and one of the oldest industry tricks in the book. Thats why 70s/80s music laps the 90s.

@Forsale9 Nevermind, I figured it out. He was diagnosed with Hepatitis C a few years ago. I'm sure it's wreaking havoc on him

Anyone seen Tony as of late? The years really haven't been kind to him. It was about a decade ago that he still looked like a teenager

@SouthOCmixdown I've been wondering how one could define the 90's and the 00's as decades with music ... This is one of those songs for me. I'm not quite sure if there's a common theme with the music of the 90's. Maybe that it's somehow edgier, darker than 80's. Hmm. Dunno.

it bums me out that we sent to troops to Iraq when we clearly should have sent them to this song.

@SouthOCmixdown 1%??? wow. This song is epic, yes, but what a close minded being you are.



My favorite songs of all time:
''Coffee and TV'' by Blur
''One Headlight'' by The Wallflowers
"Bittersweet Symphony'' by The Verve
**"The Way" by Fastball**
I just keep trying to imagine how that elderly couple died.
