The Weekly Music Thread Goes Back to 1994

Let’s discuss any and all music here. You’ve got a new artist who’s rocking your boat that you want to talk about? Post a video! Found out about that unearthed Coltrane album that has the jazz freak in you losing your mind? Lay it out for us! Do you have a theory about what your favorite band might do for their next album? Let’s hear it! Anything and everything music-related goes here.

This week’s discussion prompt : Any and all music stuff related to the year 1994!

Some topics to get you started:

  • What are some of your favorite songs or albums from 1994?
  • What were you listening to in 1994? Is it in any way similar to the music you listen to now? Is there anything you listened to back then that you’re a bit embarrassed by now? Or, is there anything you disliked then that you enjoy hearing now?
  • For those of you who are too young to remember 1994 (or weren’t even born yet), feel free to tell us: what, musically, does 1994 mean to you?

And since 1994 was a long time ago, in case you need a reminder of what happened in music that year:

Spin Magazine’s 20 Best Albums of 1994

NME’s best albums and tracks of 1994

And of course, as you may remember some of us posted our very own lists of our favorite albums from 1994 for the now concluded feature Albums by the Year right here at The Avocado, so it might be worth taking a look to see some of the favorites of your fellow Musicados (as well as to remind yourself which albums you declared to be your favorites way back in September of 2020).

And even if you don’t feel like waxing nostalgic, as always any and all music-related topics are welcome. Have fun, and rock out with yr guac out!
