Damn I Miss the '90s

Up till a few years ago, I had appalling taste in music. And despite my since-2002 love of indie rock and jazz, many people still think I have appalling taste in music. What's wrong with Marvin Gaye?!

The girl who grew up in the sunny suburb in me misses the bad, BAD pop rock (without the fizz) of the '90s. I mean, I really do miss grunge rock and excruciatingly dramatic, fist-pumping rock ballads of the '90s. Only the '80s hair bands did it better. Damn, I miss the '90s, and those days when I thought no one understood me but Alanis Morrissette (yes, you can go "WTF?!" now).

So, part of me really wants this BUZZ BALLADS CD set for the AWESOMELY BAD power rock ballads. I saw the informercial last night when I was watching "Best Week Ever" on VH1. No, I'm not ashamed to admit that. Only thing is, where is No Doubt? Where is Alanis? Veruca Salt? Where are the girl power bands?! What's with all this "2000's" music? Otherwise, this is almost perfect for a Gen X/Y Dinner Party.

Oh wait, that's the Reality Bites soundtrack. Wait, I hate Ethan Hawk. Or maybe Grosse Pointe Blank. Or High Fidelity. I wish that John Cusack, and not Zach Braff, was the voice of my generation. If only.

This, however, is the "Buzz Ballads" track list. Don't you miss the '90s?! No? Well, okay then.
