The 90's were a great time for me musically. I started DJ'ing at a great place that let me play some different music. It was also a great decade for music. WHFS was flying high and "alternative" music became a little more mainstream. This was also a time that really good female led bands were taking off. Here were 6 great songs from the 90's all from female singers.
Aimee Mann - That's Just What You Are
The former "Til Tuesday lead singer score a big hit with this song from "The Melrose Place Soundtrack".
Letters To Cleo - Here And Now
This Boston based band scored a minor hit with "Here and Now". This is from their debut album, "Aurora Gory Alice".
Juliana Hatfield - My Sister
This is from Juliana's 2nd solo album, "Become Whatever You Are". She was previously in the band "Blake Babies" with Lemonheads front man Evan Dando.
Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother
Tracy Bonham is a singer from Eugene Oregon. This is form her debut album, "The Burdens of Being Upright". I still think that is a great album title.
