Gene & Ashlees Weekend Bonus! 🎸Nineties Classics 1995! Smashing Pumpkins & Green Day! 🎸 Saturday DailyJams!

Usually we do “Eighties Saturday” but Ashlee missed Nineties Friday yesterday so we are doing a special bonus Nineties DailyJams post on this weekend edition!

As always we each pick a different band & record from said band, picking two songs off that record for our DailyJams. We thought we’d link up our theme and both pick from albums released in 1995!

Ashlee picks The Smashing Pumpkins! Going with there mega huge double album “Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness” released in 1995. The double album was the bands biggest mainstream release to date! Songs like the two picked here but also “Tonight Tonight” it’s just a hit machine! Ashlee picks the song “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” for DailyJam! For BonusJam it’s the song “1979”.
I (Gene) also pick a 1995 album and a huge nineties band! But to mix it up I pick the bands weakest selling record! I go with Green Day & the 1995 album “Insomniac”. Though it was the weakest selling record from the band outside there pre Dookie indie records it still sold millions! It was a commercial letdown as the follow up to Dookie where Ashlee’s pick was the huge even better selling follow up to Smashing Pumpkins 1993 classic, well I thought let’s mix it up! I like Ashlee pick two singles from my album but as I said it got much less play even though the following album in 1997 includes the biggest single of the year, Insomniac had great punk tunes! Just not on the level of Dookie. I pick Geek Stink Breath” as my DailyJam & “Walking Contradiction” as my BonusJam!






Enjoy the tunes? Here’s a couple extra Bonus jams from each record above! Both were additional singles from the albums above!
