I loved Mariah Carey’s album Music Box back then. I was in 3rd grade but I still feel old thinking that was 30 years ago haha

i like that album, theres a few gems on there but omg the rest are definitely album fillers

[sparkz0r]

Debut was definitely on heavy rotation for me.

Also, Juliana Hatfield Three's Become What You Are

And Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream

Edit - how could I forget - The Breeders' Last Splash

1993 was a good year for albums for me.

Amazing taste!

[maithancailin]

Yes! I was 9 when Siamese Dream came out but have older brothers who basically imprinted their musical tastes onto me. They use to make me headbang until I nearly passed out 😂

I was 6 in 1993 and exclusively listening to my mum's cd collection, so there was a lot of Queen and the Beatles and the Kinks, and random compilation albums of old songs. Bat Out of Hell II was big in my house too, I thought I was a cool kid.

Same. I was 5 and I remember listening to Bohemian Rhapsody and Bicycle Race and thinking they were very funny songs. I didn't know english but I I would yell "Mama" and laugh.

"Linger" legit makes me tear up, especially that opening - there's something about that song <3

speaking of Meatloaf, i was amused when i recently learned the producer of power ballad classic "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" - who'd produced a lot of tracks for Meatloaf in the past - had to win a court case to prevent him from recording it ('cuz Jim Steinman understandably wanted Queen Celine for the song). idk, the idea of there being a courtroom battle to decide whether or not this power ballad would go to Celine Dion or Meatloaf just tickles me.

i can understand why Meatloaf was covetous, though, because that song is glorious and wouldn't have sounded out of place on Bat Out of Hell II (...b/c Steinman wrote/produced both)

Dolores's voice conveys such emotion. She's deeply missed ;__;

[mhfromnh]

Linger is just so beautifully written, composed, sung, played
