Music 🎵 Today's Music Break thread

Recently purchased this Blues Traveler album and their 1994 album four at a local resale shop for $1 each.

The album this song is on was issued in 1990. They were surely a total pop rock musical anomaly in 1990.

Wow, that's pretty good.

I'm not sure I'd call them a musical anomaly for that in 1990; it's very much in the same vein as Saint Stevie Ray Vaughn, RIP.

Good point. Though blues rock was surely not topping the charts in 1990 I bet.

Also see Lenny Kravitz.

Additionally, reminds me of this 1983 hybrid anomaly:

proof that anyone could get a record deal in the 90's (I heard this once on Sirius satellite radio...and was struck by how bizarre it was. A friend called it a hybrid of Bjork and Beastie Boys)

Maybe...alternatively Bjork and Beastie Boys and RHCP.

The Pachelbel chord progression reminded me of something similar Axis of Awesome did years ago. You may have seen it before, but it's still entertaining as hell (and educational). If you haven't seen this video before you really want to watch it all. There are a shocking number of songs that have used the same chord structure. This is only ONE such chord progression. There are many others.

 
Speaking of Blues Traveler...

It wasn't until earlier this year that I was reading something and learned that John Popper was high school friends and in a band in college with Chris Barron called Trucking Company. After Popper left, the band became The Spin Doctors.



And back to Blue's Traveler...

Four was a great album but I really liked their follow up Straight on Until Morning - it was also the last CD I bought before I left for boot camp in July '97. This is another one of those albums I still fire up from time to time and listen to all the way through.


Also, this:
 
On one of the late night shows recently, Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms did a mash up of Hey Jealousy and Run Around. It was like a peanut butter cup, both great songs but together, better!

Found it
