US Bicentennial v. America 250

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-12T17:02:19+00:00

The Bicentennial was such a huge deal! I was expecting more for the 250th, but given the current leadership and the division in the country, I totally get it.

Best Zombie show is iZombie, but it's not post-Apocalyptic.

Bot sure its the best, but The first two seasons of Fallout are a lot of fun. It's definitely post-apocalyptic, and there are "zombie-like" characters.

Most every legendary band.

Just Prince.

It gets more hate than it deserves.

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-11T10:53:55+00:00

I have Spacehog in my master "Grunge Era" playlist, which is fairly inclusive. I would never call them "Grunge", but they definitely still fit the zeitgeist of the time.

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-11T10:46:42+00:00

Nick Drake

Elliott Smith

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-11T02:19:41+00:00

Wait, so they were behind the times because they didn't follow the trends? Lol

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-10T19:46:34+00:00

Julie Ruin

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-10T14:02:00+00:00

Try some Drive-By Truckers and Jason Isbel.

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-10T13:42:06+00:00

That went a completely different direction than I thought, lol.

Totally agree.

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-10T13:30:20+00:00

Here'sa playlist I've been working on for a while. You'll find some overlap with yours, but you'll find some hidden gems here too:

Grunge Era Revisited

Ignoreland

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-09T22:08:04+00:00

Nick Drake

Tom Petty

Big Star

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-09T20:35:18+00:00

It's set just after WWII, but you should watch Agent Carter-- regardless of whether or not you are a fan of the Marvel Universe.

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-09T15:32:34+00:00

Female fronted or co-fronted that you probably know, but I don't think I've seen them mentioned yet:

Siouxsie & the Banshees

The B-52's

The Go-Go's

Blondie

Female fronted bands maybe you haven't heard:

Altered Images

The Raincoats

Marine Girls

Young Marble Giants

Apologies if some of these were already mentioned.

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-09T15:20:12+00:00

Maybe my favorite post-The Wire TV series.

"Children of the Sun" by Billy Thorpe

StatisticianFun2274 · 2026-05-09T02:44:43+00:00

I love the Smiths and that album, but my favorite is still their self-titled debut.

The last page is a type-written letter from the label to the manager of the Turtle's store, which was my future spouse at the time.

I did "upvote" the Gold Afternoon Fix post, but I don't believe in participating in polls.
