This week In ’90s Throwback’ 03/52
Massive Attack’s “Unfinished Sympathy” melds orchestral strings and heartfelt vocals into a timeless trip-hop classic, while Aerosmith’s gritty “Eat the Rich” blends hard rock with biting satire. Deftones’ brooding “My Own Summer (Shove It)” captures raw alienation, and Korn’s “Freak on a Leash” delivers chaotic nu-metal angst. Jeff Buckley’s “Grace” shines with layered emotion, and Faith No More’s genre-defying “Epic” fuses rap, rock, and funk. Nirvana’s ferocious “Breed” channels grunge rebellion, as Guns N’ Roses’ “Pretty Tied Up” bares the chaos of excess with a hypnotic sitar intro. Kid Rock’s “Only God Knows Why” shifts into introspection, and The Roots’ jazz-infused “Distortion to Static” prioritizes craft over commercial flair.
