I've actually submitted a few songs before, but changed my username since then (I was phillyfradet, and did the MCS, Weezer & Summer Music 2016 comps). I'm excited to start recording again!

 

gonna narrow it down tomorrow, sweet this rules

 

ooooh! awesome!

 

What if an album was released the year prior but didn't get big until your year?

 

I think we should keep it to songs released the year we were born.

 

Alright...

New Girl - Suicide Machines
Same In The End - Sublime

 

Oh shit, Nevermind came out in 1991. I don't know if that makes my choice easier or harder: I had a hard time finding another album I was familiar with from my birth year; on the other hand, it has quite a few tracks on it I could cover.

 

Am I going to be the youngest one here? 1995?

 

Goddamnit all the songs I want to do were released in 1994 or 1996.

 

1987 was a good year:

The Smiths - The World Won't Listen
The Smiths - Louder Than Bombs
The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
Siouxsie and The Banshees - Through The Looking Glass
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Prince - Sign O' The Times
The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
Michael Jackson - Bad
INXS - Kick
George Michael - Faith
Roy Orbison - In Dreams
George Harrison - Cloud Nine
Sonic Youth - Sister
R.E.M. - Document
Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction

 

1989
pixies - doolittle
beastie boys - paul’s boutique
nirvana - bleach
new order - technique
xtc - oranges and lemons
tom petty - full moon fever
the cure - disintegration
todd rundgren - nearly human
stone roses - stone roses
psychedelic furs - book of days
tears for fear - seeds of love
nine inch nails - pretty hate machine
jesus and mary chain - automatic

 

there wasn't a lot of great albums in 1986, but thankfully, there's lots of good singles that came out that year.

the #1 song the day i was born:
"rock me amadeus"

 

I have a cover of Cherub Rock (93’) I could probably submit. Just have to find the original Logic file, if possible, and touch it up a bit. Otherwise I think I still have the final MP3

 

I'll call Two Headed Boy by Neutral Milk Hotel (1998)

 

The Cure - Just Like Heaven (1987)

 

How dare you make me feel old.

 

Fight For Your Right (Beastie Boys) (1986)

might need some gang vocal help from some of you!

 

Everything I Do (I Do It For You) Bryan Adams 1991

And I'm gonna work on Something to Believe In by Poison.

 

Can I do the guitar solo?!
