Not too wild about the nineties here either. The eighties were better, as were the seventies and, of course, the sixties. Even the fifties were, on the whole and in a lot of respects, better than the nineties. You want to listen to a mind-blowing recording from the nineties? Look no further than Lou Reed and John Cale's tribute to Andy Warhol, Songs for Drella. Now there's a classic. I suppose it helps that it came out in 1990, so (even though it's stripped-down) as to have some of that late eighties feel.
