Singles of 1995 | Roundtable

Author: Dig Me Out January 14, 2025 Duration: 1:15:53
Here at Dig Me Out we spent the last ten years starting each new season by looking back at the albums from each year that stood the test of time, disappeared without a trace, and everything in between. We kicked off with a roundtable in 2015 and revisited the albums of 1995, so it made sense to start a new series of roundtables in 1995 as well. This time we're checking out the singles of each year, looking at the year-end Modern Rock/Alternative and Hot 100 charts in the US, as well as charts from Canada, the UK and Australia for comparison. Like with all roundtables, we enlisted the help of some special guests to revisit this interesting transitional year that saw the rise of the second generation of grunge bands like Bush and Silverchair, the continued success of 1994's pop-punk breakthroughs by Green Day and The Offspring, and the juggernaut that was Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette. But that doesn't tell the entire tale, so former A&R executive and audio tech writer James Barber and music writer Kevin Alexander join us to talk about all the hits, the near misses, and the weirdness that was 1995. Lastly, our third guest, S.W. Lauden aka Steve Coulter was unable to attend due to the tragic loss of his and his family's home in the Eaton, CA. fires. If you are able, please consider donating to the Go Fund Me set-up by Steve's friends.   Songs In This Episode Intro - You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette (Jagged Little Pill) 12:15 - Possum Kingdom by Toadies (Marvel's Thunderbolts 2025 trailer) 24:48 - A Girl Like You by Edwyn Collins (Empire Records soundtrack) 33:18 - Bright Yellow Gun by Throwing Muses (University) 53:24 - No More I Love You's by Annie Lennox (Medusa) 1:00:23 - Common People by Pulp  (Different Class) Outro - Alright by Supergrass (I Should Coco)   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Remember that band you loved in 1997 whose CD got buried in a moving box, or the one-hit-wonder that vanished from the radio? Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock is for anyone who believes that era’s alternative and rock scene still has stories left to tell. This isn't just a nostalgia trip; it's a dedicated excavation. Each week, the hosts go deep, pulling one specific album from the shelves for a track-by-track discussion that feels like friends debating in a record store. They explore what made that record work, why it might have faded from view, and where it stands today. The conversation often expands into roundtable discussions about genres, trends, and the cultural shifts that defined the decades, sometimes even featuring conversations with the artists who were there. Listening to this podcast feels like rediscovering a part of your musical history you’d almost forgotten, presented with a genuine enthusiasm that’s contagious. You’ll hear more than just the big hits from the era; you’ll get the deep cuts, the missed opportunities, and the albums that deserved a second chance. If your music collection was built on college radio, mixtapes from friends, and liner notes, this podcast provides the thoughtful commentary and deep knowledge that those albums always warranted. Tune in to reconnect with the sounds that shaped a generation and maybe find your next favorite album from a band you never knew you missed.
