(She's in A) Bad Mood

The Lung 09.10.2006 11:10 AM

100% or Kool Thing on TV about 5 years ago then I stole my cousin's Dirty and Daydream Nation when I saw them in his cd rack. I didn't start bumming them though until about a year ago, I was too much into Nirvana from the age of 5 to 14

Titanium Expose in Pump up the Volume.

Anngella 09.10.2006 12:55 PM

Empty Page and Plastic Sun were the first.
But my first favorite song was either Flower or Drunken Butterfly.
(And ironically enough I don't have Murray Street or Bad Moon Rising.)

Cantankerous 09.10.2006 01:11 PM

ask me again.

Pax Americana 09.10.2006 01:26 PM

I think the first one I ever heard was Sugar Kane.

greenlight 09.10.2006 03:11 PM

really first was 100% on MTV and i thought music and video rocks big time, but i was too young to care more and didn't check them out. but then dirty boots (i mean whole goo) in the college, that was my moment.

A Thousand Threads 09.10.2006 03:12 PM

Tunic

still one of my favourites

PAULYBEE2656 09.10.2006 03:44 PM

teenage riot. got a copy of daydream nation off a classmates older brother in 1989 or so. loved it but loved track 2 even more!

badgercorn 09.10.2006 04:58 PM

She's in a Bad Mood, as I had only read about them until I bought the reissue of Confusion Is Sex in 1995.

LittlePuppetBoy 09.10.2006 05:00 PM

Teenage Riot

I was exposed to them back in 94 or 95, whenever they were doing lollapalooza and it was on mtv. The first song I remember hearing of theirs was sunday which was much later. I don't really remember the first song.

Jef Mertens 09.11.2006 02:35 AM

First song I don't remember but I know it was Dirty, a punk friend of mine when I was fourteen bought it and presented it to me.

First SY record I bought was Goo some years later, then swapt it for Dirty with my punk buddie. Then in '94 I bought my own copy of Goo back from him, somewhat later Washing Machine and Psychic Hearts came out and shit was all over then.

'96 my first Sonic gig and the rest is history!

sonicl 09.11.2006 09:21 AM

I think it was Halloween / Flower 12". If it wasn't that it was DV69.

pokkeherrie 09.11.2006 09:37 AM

sugar kane on mtv. i was 14 and have loved them ever since.

gmku 09.11.2006 09:41 AM

Dirty Boots, I think. That or Kool Thing. But I remember thinking Dirty Boots was about the coolest thing I'd ever heard, and I fell madly in love with that grunge chic in the video.

Pookie 09.11.2006 11:55 AM

First song I heard was live but I don't know what it was.

On record: Intro/Brave Men Run

baby bulldog 09.11.2006 11:56 AM

Dropped the needle on EVOL,Tom Violence.I was hooked....

DemonBox 09.11.2006 12:12 PM

I bougth Goo, without having heard anything by them. So Dirty Boots was the first.

Green Magnesium 09.11.2006 12:53 PM

Well, I don't know if it was the first song that I heard by them, but the first song that definitely made me sit up and take notice was their cover of "Superstar." At first I thought that only Thurston fronted the band, but then upon further investigation I heard a couple Kim and Lee songs. They weren't a band that I fell hard for immediately however. I can honestly say I had never heard anyone like them before, and I was no stranger to alt rock. Now, I can't get enough of them. I love all of their stuff from the debut EP to Sonic Nurse, with Washing Machine being my fave album. Rather Ripped is ok too I guess. :(

Molly 09.11.2006 03:16 PM

Goo

alteredcourse 09.11.2006 05:59 PM

Daycare Nation 09.11.2006 06:46 PM

Kool Thing. It makes me want to like rock out. Woo!

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 09.11.2006 08:01 PM

First song I heard was dirty boots.

jakeonguitar 09.11.2006 09:03 PM

dirty boots..then right after i heard mote...isn't that all ya need to hear to realize?

Cantankerous 09.12.2006 03:56 PM

the first song i consciously remember actually hearing was i'm insane i think. my mom used to listen to bad moon rising all the time (we can get into that later if you want) and it came on and i remember that it scared the shit out of me.

sonik life 09.12.2006 04:18 PM

Dirty Boots

cagedbird 09.12.2006 04:56 PM

100% Was this song popular in those days? I mean a hit for Mtv? I loved the skateboarding scenes because these guys were playing with long lanky objects all over outdoor public places. But I don't think it was a big hit. Except around here.

samuel 09.12.2006 05:48 PM

Drunken Butterfly
