the best songs ever: the lost years

But yes, I liked them, and some other POST-punk or POP-punk bands, as opposed to hard core punk, grunge, metal. etc. I couldn't abide Loveless for long, but perhaps because the song was from the 2T, the Slowdive song was pretty good once you actually dived in; it took a while for the "water" to warm up.

The best 3T songs, and always music that was still music, were in the new age and/or singer-songwriter genres. New Age was not all great stuff either, but some real gems were made. Canada was, and still remains, a good source. Loreena McKennitt in the early 1990s made an album called The Visit, featuring these two goodies. The first is another example bewitched music, as several of hers were. And neo-pagan. All Souls Night





And scenic, but sad and wistful Arthurian romantic poetry, set to wonderful melody, sound and voice, makes for what many critics call her best performance. The Lady of Shalott. And sounding a bit like Melanie.

Here is some Green Day for you, Eric. I think Basket Case is one of their classics, and it's from their album Dookie, released in 1994.
