Nineties Revisited: Caroline


Original video located here. Accessed 24th June 2015

Song title: Caroline

Artist: Concrete Blonde

Year: 1990

Why I like this song:

Lately I've been listening Concrete Blonde

My first experience with this band was watching the above video on rage sometime in 1990/early 1991. Since then, it seemed to me this band was hailed as alt-rock heroes - at least for a short time. Nevertheless, it seemed that the walls enclosing alternative music were starting to break...

Looking back, this music holds up pretty well, what with chiming guitars, gothic moods and the presence of Johnette Napolitano. If you told me that this was the bridge that connected the alternative rock of the eighties and the nineties then I would certainly believe it.
