In honor of Pat Garvin

Yes indeed folks, I guess this one is blog-worthy. Though I don't know if the honoree will actually read it, since he has taken me off his list (DUN DUN DUN!). But in any case, to honor Mr. Garvin's leaving of Mizzou to spend his final collegiate semester in London, I have decided to post something he would most certainly enjoy. That is, my latest compilation. Yes folks, Daugherty has gone nostaglic a la Garvin, and created a two-disc 90s retrospective. Can you handle it? Without further ado....

(Note: I did restrict these discs only to stuff I actually knew in the 90s, which explains some noticeable ommissions, i.e. more Wilco, more U2 - haha, it would have to be 3 discs! If you're gonna be nostaligic, then you can't cheat by adding stuff you didn't know then! You should appreciate this, Garvin ;))

Disc 1 (The Mega Hits)
1. REM - Losing My Religion
2. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
3. Collective Soul - The World I Know
4. Tom Petty - Free Fallin (ok slightly cheating since it came out in mid-89, but huge 90s hit nonetheless)
5. Green Day - When I Come Around
6. Dave Matthews Band - Ants Marching
7. Live - Lightning Crashes
8. Counting Crows - Mr. Jones
9. Weezer - Buddy Holly
10. Beck - Where It's At (Two Turntables and a Microphone)
11. Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
12. Soul Asylum - Runaway Train
13. Everclear - Santa Monica
14. Oasis - Live Forever
15. Beastie Boys - Sabotage
16. Pearl Jam - Better Man
17. Radiohead - Creep
18. U2 - One
19. Counting Crows - Long December

Disc 2 - Lesser hits, B-sides, pure nostalgia, etc.
(These are not necessarily lesser songs, by the way)
1. REM - What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
2. Dave Matthews Band - Satellite
3. Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
4. Matthew Sweet - Sick of Myself
5. The Flaming Lips - She Don't Use Jelly
6. Ben Folds Five - Brick
7. Spin Doctors - Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
8. They Might Be Giants - Istanbul (not Constantinople)
9. Radiohead - Paranoid Android
10. Wilco - Box Full of Letters
11. Pearl Jam - Elderly Woman Behind a Counter in a Small Town
12. U2 - Staring at the Sun
13. The Apples in Stereo - Tin Pan Alley
14. Weezer - Say it Ain't So
15. Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight (this actually should be on disc one, it was pretty huge, but i couldn't fit it)
16. The Wallflowers - One Headlight (ditto)
17. Tom Petty - You Don't Know How it Feels
18. Pavement - Range Life
19. Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

There are many other deserving candidates, but maybe I'll make a disc 3 some time. Some stuff was huge to me then but not anymore (i.e. Matchbox 20). There are surely some that have slipped my mind too. Alas, a compilation is never perfect. But I say it's pretty darn good. Drop me a line in the guest book if you have comments or glaring omissions! And tell Garvin to read this :)

Peace out.
