I've always enjoyed listening to a wide variety of music. From opera to metal and everything in between (except country), I listen to a lot of genres including what's popular today. Yet when I was younger, I only listened to Ace of Base, Disney soundtracks, and classical music. My brother was the one into all of those 90s groups like Nirvana, Green Day, and MC Hammer. I couldn't stand them at all when I was little so I find it ironic that the radio stations I listen to play the newly re-popularized Green Day and the timeless hits from Nirvana. One of the few musicians my brother used to listen to that I did like was Alanis Morissette. My favorite song from her was Ironic on her Jagged Little Pill album. Well, a few weeks ago, I was in a store just browsing the music section when I came across that very album and decided to pick it up. I haven't heard anything from Alanis since my brother moved out of the house when I was 10. So, needless to say, I don't remember much of the music but when I popped in that CD, so many memories came flooding back. Even things I didn't realize I remembered like long trips to our family campsite when I would play DJ for my brother while he drove. I have to admit that I really enjoy the CD now and it has me craving a lot of the other tunes from back in the day. After all, my favorite decade has to be the 90s.
