1994 - DECEMBER - Second Coming - Stone Roses
SECOND COMING by The Stone Roses.
The Stone Roses burst on the scene in 1989 with their self-titled debut album. However, legal wrangling with their record label, combined with slow progress on new material caused their next album to be delayed for years. That second album entitled “Second Coming” was finally released in December 1994. The Stone Roses are out of Manchester, England, and showed up during a time when Manchester was a musical hotbed.
After their first album, hailed by critics as one of the best English rock albums of all time, this second album met mixed reviews. The group disbanded a few years after Second Coming's release.
Tightrope
This is a mellow ballad to start the set.
Good Times
This song has a psychedelic feel that would fit well in the middle of the 1960's. You can see influences that would recur in groups like Oasis.
Love Spreads
This top hit off their album has a bluesy feel that epitomizes the "alt rock" sound of the mid 1990's.
ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:
The Theme to "E.R."
This is the long-running television show that started the careers of Noah Wyle and Julianna Margulies, and that catapulted George Clooney into super-stardom began in December of 1994!
STAFF PICKS:
R.E.M. - What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
Inspired by a mugging of Dan Rather, this was on one of REM's lesser-applauded albums.
Pearl Jam - Better Man
Brian shares that Seattle band Pearl Jam was writing about abuse in this ballad. They start this song slowly and it builds as it progresses. Front man Eddie Vedder wrote this one as a teenager.
Toad the Wet Sprocket - Something's Always Wrong
Bruce brings us a softer alternative rock song in a minor key off their album "Dulcinea". The chorus has a clever contrast in lyrics.
Fury in the Slaughterhouse - Dancing in the Sunshine of the Dark
Wayne introduces us to a deep cut. This German group has a great groove with some very dark lyrics.
LAUGH TRACK:
Jeff Foxworthy - Redneck Stomp Foxworthy's comedy compilation made it into Billboard's top 100, and takes us to the exit of this podcast.
Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?”
