Evenflow: the Music of the 1990s
Grungy tunes that speak most to my soul
A deep angst permeates the music of my adolescence.
Even now, when I listen, I’m taken back to a teenage awakening — a questioning of the world only made possible through amazing music. And buried underneath the woe, a quiet hope whispers. Yes, the world is broken. Yet possibilities stemming from authenticity and healing permeate the music of: Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Bush, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan — even guilty pleasures like the Dave Matthews Band and Toad the Wet Sprocket fill my heart with a mix of forlorn nostalgia and promise.
Each ground-breaking album of indie, grunge, alternative and rap is a gift of my youth. I love all genres and eras of popular music. But the music of the 90s will forever stand as the soundtrack to my life.
