Hello,
Prince sang about 1999 as the end of the world, "we're going to party like 1999". He could've been singing about the rock scene that year and what a colossal wasteland it was. 1999 was not rock's finest year. Even at the height of the Disco craze in 1979, rock had a better year. To put it mildly 1999 sucked for rock music. Prince's "1999" rocked more than many of the rock songs of 1999.
If it wasn't for Creed (I know a lot of people didn't like them, but they were one of the rockingest bands of that year), Tom Petty, Stone Temple Pilots (not their best CD, but still), Live, Incubus, Blink-182 and Rage Against The Machine 1999 might have been the wussiest year ever. It still might be. How did I survive that year in rock? Obviously by listening to all the great music from previous years.
I've never been so disappointed with a rock year before. I hope 2009 is better when I get to that year.
1) Citizen King "Better Days (And The Bottom Drops Out)":
2) Goo Goo Dolls "Iris":
This comes from a CD that was released in 1996, this song was released late in 1998. It then ranked #49 on Billboard's Year End chart of 1999. 3) Matchbox 20 "Back 2 Good":
4) Third Eye Blind "Jumper":
Even the 1999 song released by Pearl Jam was a pretty mellow and sad song. 5) Pearl Jam "Last Kiss":
Not a big Kravitz fan, but I do love this song. 6) Lenny Kravitz "Fly Away":
7) Santana featuring Rob Thomas "Smooth":
