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.

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
