Totally 80s and 90s Recall

• 1995 Top Alternative Songs

  1995 was a transitional year for what was known as “Alternative” music, as it started to become a melting pot of old and new styles in the post grunge world. Bands like Foo Fighters and Bush carried a little of the old grunge ideals, but with a more radio friendly style. Britpop and electronic based music started to become very popular. Huge albums from Alannis Morissette and The Smashing Pumpkins showed that songs about introspection, melody and evolution could be wildly popular. Also, with alternative bands having huge album sale numbers, Grammy wins and heavy rotation on MTV, the word alternative started to seem ironic. Alternative or indie rock had become mainstream and everyone had access, from angsty teens to their parents. Regardless of what it was called, the rock music of 1995 was still awesome. Call it alternative, or indie, or just rock. There was a plethora of styles, singers and bands to choose from and they were all very memorable. So this week we’re making a 1995 alternative playlist of our favorites from a great year. So strap on your Doc Martens and fire up your favorite CD on your detachable face car stereo and let’s jam out to some awesome music.   Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall  YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ   Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/29XHlO0030iUUOBErgMunD?si=FeTrOqFPSdGXREvpC2W9PA  Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/1995-alternative/pl.u-JPAZzKGIW5r8gY?ls Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/1984a9049a68452890517d1a3d91f121sune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_9qtmxa9oKLhm9pOyYgb1DcCkZ   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

• Crimson Tide (1995)

  This week, we’re diving into the high-stakes, high-pressure world of Crimson Tide—the 1995 submarine thriller that pits two powerhouse performances against each other: Gene Hackman as a grizzled, old-school Navy captain, and Denzel Washington as his calm, calculated executive officer. When a rogue Russian faction threatens nuclear war, the crew of the U.S.S. Alabama receives an incomplete order that could either prevent global catastrophe—or cause it. With the clock ticking and tension rising hundreds of feet below the surface, it’s a nerve-racking clash of command, ethics, and ego. Directed by Tony Scott and scored by Hans Zimmer, Crimson Tide delivers pulse-pounding suspense and powerhouse drama, all set within the claustrophobic confines of a nuclear sub. Join us as we break down the film’s unforgettable moments, the behind-the-scenes power struggles, and why this thriller still holds water 30 years later.   Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall    YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

• Empire Records (1995)

  This week we dive into the cult classic from 1995, Empire Records. This dramedy is set over the course of a single day at an independent record store in the mid 90’s. The store is staffed by an eclectic group of teenagers and young adults all dealing with their own problems while trying to save the store from being turned into a corporate Music Town. Dave, Rob and Kurt will rewatch this 90s classic and see if it still holds up and is as funny as when it first came out. From the characters to the plot to the killer soundtrack and music in the movie, Empire Records is a great snapshot of life for young folks in 1995. So Damn The Man, Save the Empire and hang out with us on Rex Manning Day as we avoid dwelling on anything sad or problematic as we hang out with Joe, Lucas, A.J., Corey, Gina, Deb, Warren and the rest as we get a sugar high with Empire Records.   Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall  YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall
