On this Nineties Friday I’m picking 10 tunes from bands who released records in 1994! 🎸 8 classic alternative rock picks and a couple lesser known bonus picks! Also talking the records below 🎙️
Picking 8 classic albums to pick and discuss plus two bonus tunes and records not known commercially but was heavily influential to the Mainstream “punk” bands like Offspring & Green Day. Just a personal favorite so I’m throwing it in. Other eight were all big successes mainstream wise and just classic nineties alternative rock records!

It’s #NinetiesFriday and I’m hoping this builds into something similar to ThreeTuneTuesday where we have many people involved!
Some ideas are music, movies, television, sports, or really anything Nineties related. I assume movie or tv or music topic reviews or talk will be most common, but you could also talk a sports memory or something else. Think the Pop Culture of the times, but it would be great to hear about little known and interesting bands or entertainment items. Don’t forget to use tag #NinetiesFriday
