I can’t stop listening to The Smile album. What a goddamn masterpiece. It’s Kid A meets post punk meets Krautrock with a funky touch. It’s basically Radiohead at their best but rawer.

I’m sure @swag and @GordoDeCentral can relate, been on a nostalgic phase listening to nothing but late 80’s to mid 90’s alternative music. The simpler times

It’s up there as being one of the best of that era for sure. Extremely influential too.

Can’t say I wasn’t all over Seattle but I was curious enough to search for bands elsewhere too. I remember Superchunk and Unwound. Out of Caifornia’s indie scene I recall Pavement the most.

Being from Chicago, in the 80s I knew a couple of the guys from Naked Raygun. But in the 90s I enjoyed the Smashing Pumpkins or Liz Phair but particularly acts like Shellac, Eleventh Dream Day, Jesus Lizard, and even the pre-post-rock jazz adjacent Tortoise. But perhaps my favorite Chicago act were transplants from Missoula, Montana (Steve Albini connection) by way of Seattle: Silkworm.
This is perhaps my favorite album of theirs, although from 2000:
PopMatters did a great, albeit fan-obsessive, review of it: https://www.popmatters.com/between-grooves-silkworm-lifestyle-2648862991.html
It's a band you never got right away and for many you never did. But for some like me, after enough listens, you had serious earwigs from them.
The tragedy of how the band ended is also legendary.

i subscribe to tidal, so my playlists are there. i quickly converted a recent playlist to spotify:
(there's this site: https://soundiiz.com/ as a free service it can convert and sync playlists between services up to 200 songs, longer lists can be converted as a paid service but i could never get it working, it always rejected multiple cards. anyway...)
what about your spotify lists?
