I bought Short Bus on the strength of Hey Man, but for some reason this is one of the very few albums I sold. I had a brief streak during those years where if an album didn't grab me on the first listen I would abandon it and potentially pawn it. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I have ended up reacquiring many of them when I revisited them as an older person. This is one I still have not. I actually don't think I still have this song and I like this song.

Let's just say that I was in a personal Ice Age in 1995.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

That's a cool song but I never knew the background to it.

I came to know Filter because of the X-Files, One (Is The Lonliest Number) was featured in the movie. I really like the first three records, with Title Of Record being my favorite. Never really followed them after their hiatus.

About the 90's and being "fogey-er":  I traveled a lot for work, so I got forceably exposed to a lot of stuff that I'm not sure I would have otherwise.  So there's that.  Not a lot of it stuck, though, to be honest.   If I named my top 25 bands (though I don't really think that way, so that would be hard) I'm not sure one of them started and had their best decade in the 90's.  MAYBE Pearl Jam, but I doubt it very very highly, since I think they only have two and a half great records. 

As for Filter, it's worth seeking out the "Army Of Anyone" record.  It's basically Richard Patrick and the DeLeo brothers from Stone Temple Pilots (with Ray Luzier - DLR and I think Korn, don't quote me on that because the only Korn I like is in my stool - in on drums).   It probably won't rock your world or anything, but it's a good record.

I do have some metal bands planned, but I'll be mostly focusing on songs that got airplay on MTV (or at least I assume did, since I wasn't really watching it before early 00s). At least for now.

I'm waiting for 90s power metal to show up. :neverusethis:

 :lol

You might have to wait for a while. Although I might leave the keys to this thread under the doormat, if i.e. my studying schedule gets too hectic during the winter. ;D

I just noticed this thread today, but it seems I haven't missed much.  If I've heard any song on any of the four albums mentioned thus far, I wouldn't know it, and I've never even heard of Filter.

I just realized that the stuff that's been posted thus far are songs, not albums.  Oops...

Hey Man Nice Shot was definitely one of my favorite songs of this era.  However, I was never able to get into any of Filter's other stuff.

I've seen the Dwyer suicide, but I didn't make the association at the time I first heard the song.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I think this is the first time I've heard HMNS. I've read about it but never heard it. Not what I expected. Definitely sounds 90s. The word I'd use to describe it is 'grimey.' I like the riff.

SHAKEPEARS SISTER
STAY
1992




Shakespears Sister is an Irish/American pop duo, that started as a solo project of former Bananarama (yeah, that one) member Sioban Fahey. The group’s name comes from The Smith’s song Shakespeare’s Sister and the misspelling was first accidental, but Fahey decided to run with it. Shakespears Sister started gaining steam after American vocalist Marcy Levy (going with a stage name Marcella Detroit) joined forces with Fahey. The duo’s biggest moment of glory was the second single from their second album Hormonally Yours, called Stay.

The two women have drastically different voices, with Fahey having deep, husky and low-key style of vocals while Detroit’s vocal stylings are clearly influenced by soul music, she can hit very high notes and generally sings with a lot of flair. In Stay Detroit is singing the lead vocals for most of the song, professing her undying love to a man in verses over delicate string and synth backing. In the song’s video, she sings the song to her lover who lies comatose in a bed. Fahey joins in in the bridge, where the song takes more sinister vibe with an industrial-esque beat, distorted guitar and Siobhan singing in rather threatening tone. In the music video she appears as some sort of angel of death coming to claim the poor man’s soul. The two women tussle over the man’s life and in the end, he wakes up and embraces Detroit, while Fahey walks away from the scene.

Sounds dramatic, innit? Well. Two things make the video ridiculously campy. Fahey is dressed in a golden glittery one-piece that would’ve been tacky in the eighties, never mind in 1992. Also, her acting is very hammy. For what could’ve been very dark and threatening scene, it becomes pretty silly. But maybe that was the idea all along.

Stay was a smash hit in UK, staying eight weeks at number one and also hit number four in Billboard Hot 100. But the band’s moment at the top was fleeting. The two women were falling out and eventually in 1993 Fahey ended their partnership during an acceptance speech at Ivor Novello awards (which was delivered by publisher, she didn’t attend the show). Consquently, women did not speak to each other for 25 years. Fahey did later revive Shakespears Sister moniker for little to no fanfare.

However, they finally spoke with each other and made up their differences in 2018, releasing a compilation album with two new songs. The music video to All the Queen’s Horses actually references the music video to Stay multiple times.

First one that I don't know. It's funny, I did recently read the story on them and their breakup and reconciliation.

Checked out some samples and nothing rings a bell. Also, doesn't really sound like something that would have grabbed me back then, as it didn't now.

To be fair, I'm not too big on them either. I wanted to include this basically because I like cheesy/cool music videos and the story of them breaking up at the peak of their popularity and doing the silent treatment for decades until finally reconciliating is interesting.

I've been aware of them, but even though It Doesn't Seem to Matter is a real banger have never really ventured further. Listening to their only album now and yeah, it's solid mid-00s alternative rock.

I'm going to cover Stone Temple Pilots at some point too. I very rarely listen to them but I like what I've heard and would certainly want to give them a fair shot.
