A Summer Love Music Recomendations

methodwriter85 · April 5, 2009

Chapter 1

I'm going to enjoy this, because I was 5 in 1991, and the early 90's was

the first time I really got into music. And of course, this was when MTV

actually still played music, and their VJ's were gods.

How can one have a story set in 1991 without Nirvana, and a song or two from Metallica's self-titled album. "The Unforgiven" would be a good one. I would say "Nothing Else Matters", but it was not released officially until 1992.

How can one have a story set in 1991 without Nirvana, and a song or two from Metallica's self-titled album. "The Unforgiven" would be a good one. I would say "Nothing Else Matters", but it was not released officially until 1992.

I've actually thought long and hard about this, and while I will use a little Nirvana and Metallica eventually...

It just doesn't really feel right for the characters, and they're not really grunge or metallica-like people. I mean, trust me, I'll get in some harder rock, but to me, and for these characters, I think the poppier stuff from late 80's and very early 90's fits better.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I'm using 1987 to 1991 as the music time frame here. Mainly 'cause again, there's a lot of great 80's stuff that I couldn't use for MiM because they weren't out yet, and because 1987 to 1991 were Marcel's college years, so it's the music he "came of age" to.

As Mark can attest, there's a method to my madness.

OK, bubble gum as they are, I love "Circle in the Sand" and I like "Step by Step"

methodwriter85 · May 4, 2009

I'll grant you "Step by Step" being bubblegum, but I've never considered "Circle in the Sand" to be bubblegum. Belinda's done some bubblegum pop, but this is something that just feels completely different from most of the songs that were hits in 1988. It's kinda obscure, really- you won't ever hear this song come up at 80's Night at the bar.
