Stuck In Thee Garage #84: June 12, 2015

A whole hell of a lot can happen in 25 years. In 1990, you could sense things were changing in the world of rock music, but it was still a hodgepodge of styles and genres as hair metal and classic rock still dominated the radio. But the burgeoning alt-rock scene was about to blow up within the next two years. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs from 1990 in hour 2 and many of them were on albums that preceded breakthroughs, however big or small.



The Black Lodge-approved playlist:

J. Mascis and Kim Gordon - Slow Boy/CONS EP, Vol. 3
