Here’s what we’re gonna do: Link us in the comments section to your all-time-favorite under-appreciated ’90s alternajams. Whichever five entrants blow our minds the most (either because of epic nostalgia or epic how-the-hell-have-I-never-heard-this-befores) will win pairs of tickets to the big Debaser anniversary party this Friday at 111 Minna. Contest ends Tuesday night at 11:59.

Do it to it!

RSVP and invite your friends here.

    You can thank the Janebook for that one.

    Pearl Jam – State of Love and Trust.

    It was from the movie Singles (on the soundtrack), but recorded during the Ten sessions. It’s also on the remastered/remixed version of Ten that came out in 2009. It’s a killer song – can’t believe it didn’t make the original cut for Ten.

    There’s way better vids of this song on Youtube – but this one is from the old “Pain in the Grass” free shows at the Seattle Center Mural Ampitheater. I grew up going to those shows – would bust ass out of high school on Fridays, face rush hour traffic from the ‘burbs, and see tons of great bands.

    My original submission was going to be J Church’s “Yellow, Blue and Green,” but it’s so under-appreciated I couldn’t even find a link to it (I’m sure it’s in your box of old 7 inches, though).

    So this is my submission: Sebadoh – License to Confuse

    I’m going to cheat and choose two (but I still think that pedro should win for The New Radicals):

    The Soup Dragons: “I’m Free” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVGf3ePIO04

    EMF: “Unbelievable”

    Insanely under appreciated 90s Alternative band (although technically they were “Grebo”):

    Ned’s Atomic Dustbin
    “Grey Cell Green”
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFxVMfBfQDY

    There used to be a real video, no idea why it’s not on youtube.

    Gotta love the 90s:

    this band never really got much attention. this is probably the best/most intense music video to come out of the 90′s though.

    Bay Area punks from the early nineties, Krupted Peasant Farmerz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiK1B0uBlzk&feature=related

    These guys are still playing music from time to time and have helped put out a lot of punk from Santa Cruz and San Jose.

    A posthumous entry cause I couldn’t remember the band or song. But I liked this Elastica jam when I was 14

    To me, the entire Sonic Youth “Dirty” album is very, very early 90s, and I can remember the lyrics making me feel very acutely aware of myself in a particular time/place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04fAzuS04R0
    So good!

    Who’s the big winner(s)? I need to know whether to spend my $5 on a stiff ass drink at the Latin American or save it diligently for Debaser!!!
