This is a 25-song, 71-minute megamix of some of my favourite alternative songs of the 1990s. It is, by no means, a definitive list, just songs from my collection. I hope you enjoy.

This is an awesome mix!! Brilliant 3am sounds
Opening track.... - Tremolo male vocals, thick guitars, and reverberance. 3:20 mark - YEP. Male vocals, STRUTTIN' guitar cadence. 5:45 - AHHHH YES. Male vocals, "I think you should know," CATCHY, CATCHY melody and chord changes. http://opiscounselling.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/alone-beach-black-and-white-702264.jpg - 10:00 - Male vocals, guitar RESONANCE. 11:15 - VERY NICE. Male vocals, "I don't know why I love you." The guitar riffs will remind you of David Evans' "The Edge (U2)" style. 14:35 - New Wave synth. 16:30 - ROUGH. Male vocals (anthem-style chorus). 18:10 - Male vocals, "You draggin' me down," mad scientist, mystical guitars. 20:35 - HA. The male vocals will remind you of David Bowie. 22:45 - Notice the inflection on the male vocals. http://38.media.tumblr.com/628981ea984b4f9f7a6bdaeee81d04b5/tumblr_nb8mcnBnu31sw0e4co1_500.jpg - 24:58 - OH WOW, LIKE EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!! Male vocals, "My therapist said not to see you no more." All of us 43+ somethings remember hearing this track sometime before last call. 27:35 - OH MAN beautiful, that melancholy spot in us. The chords and male vocals (hopeful sadness) on this are similar to Adam Ant's, "Wonderful 1995," they just flipped the melody. Rex Marelicus posted this comment on YouTube, "Life anthem,".... indeed. 30:00 - CRAFTY TRANSITION with the guitar similarities. 33:05 - Male vocals, "Why does it always rain on me," lazy afternoon by the pond guitar and violas. 36:35 - Heavy male vocals, separate ways aches. 40:25 - Yeah man....definitive 90s lyrics and social themes. 42:50 - Tears for Fears, nuff said. 45:45 - Lovely. Luv the female vocals and cadence on this. HA, this one passed me by back then. 47:55 - Acid. http://wallpapercave.com/wp/HHxw3t7.jpg - 50:10 - Another anthem for the era. 53:00 - Timeless Gen-X lullaby. 56:50 - And more Acid. 1:00:55 - Lighters up 0/. https://i.imgur.com/Il5LFWE.gif - 1:05:20 - Introspective male vocals. 1:07:05 - Coda....Tears for Fears indeed.
- This one will conjure up some memories Gen-X headz. This set has more of the B-side tracks than the radio station standards of the era. The emotions (hopeful, yearning, hopelessness) of us in our 20s are captured in the track selection and mixing. If you need a nostalgia fix on one of those drab days, this is perfect medication.
Wow. Thanks.
