Yessss I've been compiling this playlist of tunes that were popular when I was a kid (late 90s - early 2000s)

I was really into classic rock through most of my childhood (bc of my parents) and have only grown to appreciate these songs as I've gotten older but find myself putting this list on allllll the time now (esp when I am feeling particularly wistful 😅)

Ooooo awesome! I'm well familiar with this era of tunes — Goo Goo Dolls, Alanis Morissette, Counting Crows, Spin Doctors, Sheryl Crow, Wallflowers, Blind Melon, Third Eye Blind — so many goodies, I can't name'em all but am so glad you put this together! 🙌 I recommend adding Blues Traveler; they seem to fit the bill.

A lot of this music made a big comeback with my friend group in college. And actually, my senior year of college, Third Eye Blind played a show locally (in Wilmington, NC... a small town). At the time, it felt like a big deal, like they must've heard our call, haha. Sadly, I didn't make it to the show, but I heard it was a good one.

Of all the bands in this era, I think I like Blind Melon the most. "No Rain" is absolutely a fantastic song, but they have so many other good ones that didn't get enough radio attention! I really love "Tones of Home" and their cover of "The Pusher." Not to mention, their alternate version of "No Rain" freaking rocks — it has elements that remind me of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks"!
