What's another early 90's banger from a female fronted group that we need to tap into?!
How about 2000? Anything from The Distillers slaps. Try Drain the Blood or Beat Your Heart Out
Seether by Veruca Salt!
@@atldawn2 I came to the comments section to say this!
Drivin’ on 9
Belly, same Boston area, same era as Breeders. Tanya Donelly was in The Breeders, and also Throwing Muses. She left and was the front in Belly. Gail Greenwood is the bassist in Belly and she fucking rocks. They had a few hits in the early 90's, we're on the cover of Rolling Stone, etc, but broke up after a couple of albums, but reformed with same original members a few years ago and are still at it. I highly recommend Feed The Tree.
Kim Deal, the lead singer, was the original bass player and sometimes lead singer for the Pixies. She’s an alt rock goddess.
I saw the Pixies in 1990. I spent much of the night mesmerised by her.
Her sister Kelley couldn't play guitar until Kim made her the guitar player for the Breeders.
I was gonna say, should we tell them about the Pixies? 😂
Dayton, Ohio’s own KIM FUCKING DEAL
A&A may have hit a Pixies song in the past but if they haven’t they fucking well should. Not sure they are aware of the impact they had on Nirvana et al.
Should have done a doubleheader with Veruca Salt’s “Seether.”
Another one I'd always crank up when it came on.
And Forstntha
I was gonna say L7's Pretend We're Dead
Oh yeah, that's a great one.
Yeah I agree. It’s definitely similar. Veruca Salt, Belly, Throwing Muses… love them all.
Everything Kim Deal touches turns to gold. I love everything she’s ever done. And she gets such a cool, grungy sound out of that acoustic guitar laden with distortion. All Pixies and Breeders albums are essential.
The alt rock scene from 1990-1995 was a great moment in music history....just so creative experimenting and playing with sound
The Breeders were fronted by Kelley Deal and her twin sister, Kim, who had been the bassist for Pixies before forming The Breeders. PLEASE, guys, it's time to check out Pixies!!!
I was just gonna say if they haven't done the Pixies yet, WHY ARE THEY WAITING?!?!
@@nettiemac exactly!!!
Pixies are a must!
@@JD_Slacker so overdue!!!
They should just do the entire Doolittle album❣
Garbage is an excellent band. Great vocals by Shirley Manson and their drummer is Butch Vig who produced some of the best albums in the 90s by Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkin’s, Sonic Youth.. etc!
But which song? “Only Happy When it Rains” is obviously their biggest, but after this reaction I think A&A would like the bass-line in “Queer”
"Special" is a banger. Such a great band.
@@scottNNJ… you can’t go wrong with their 1st album. Either one of those songs are great as well as Stupid Girl.
I love their 2.0 album as well, but they have to hit their debut album first.
“Stupid Girl” from Garbage!!
Definitely need to do Celebrity Skin by Hole. Fronted by Kurt Cobain's wife, Courtney Love. Absolute banger.
All the bands Tanya Donelly was in were amazing - Throwing Muses, Breeders, Belly, plus solo. Alt rock queen!
Yes!
Tanya's album Lovesongs For Underdogs is criminally overlooked/underrated.
Love "Not too soon" by Throwing Muses.
Glad someone mentioned Belly!
@@fredinaz THrowing Muses/Breeders/Belly! all in the family.
Alanis Morrissette had amazing songs. Her album "Jagged Little Pill" was so different, it blew minds. She is/was an icon for women. The song "You Oughta Know" is a good start. You'll love the lyrics, promise! Her drummer was Taylor Hawkins. He later joined "Foo Fighters". They were my fav band for quite a while. It was awesome to finally hear rock after the 80s.
Excellent choice!
Best album ever....!
If she was good enough to play God in 2 Kevin Smith films, she's good enough for me!😇
She was so lucky the women who paved the way for several years crier her did what they did. 🤌🏼
'Last Splash' is one of the greatest albums of the 90s but unfortunately underrated. All the songs are good and it has a real summertime groove to it.
'Hole', 'Veruca Salt', 'Bikini Kill', 'Xscape' and 'Sleater- Kinney' are some good girl groups to look into.
I'd add Tilt too.. Libel is a great song.
Luscious Jackson
Sleater- Kinney would blow their minds!!
If you guys liked this, gotta do Elastica 'Stutter' next
GREAT suggestion and song choice!
3rd vote for this band and song. Elastica are phenomenal
Great shout and great song choice!!
PJ Harvey - 50 foot Queenie for a female rocker from this era. With a lyrics analysis.
great choice
Big Exit!!!!
Liz Phair is exactly who you guys are looking for. Supernova is a great song to start with
This!
Another great Liz Phair song would be Divorce Song.
Agreed, Exile in Guyville is a great album. She paved the way for Alanis Morrisette and others
@@PlateOshrimp499played on repeat,often.
Or just about any song from Exile in Guyville
Total jam!!! Love it.
Such a unique sound - like Cake’s “The Distance”. 🔥
Deep 90’s. Love them both!
Happy weekend, all!
How very dare you compare The Breeders to Cake 😮😨😱
@@thetannaree It was said in the context of "Such a unique sound." I agree. Cake is one of a kind. There was so much grunge that was interchangeable, as everybody was imitating everybody else with a twist.
They NEED to do CAKE
@@laurawalkerJD Right? "The Distance" is an obvious choice. But oddly I don't think they'll like it.
The distance has to be the worse song ever recorded..I hate that song
Yeah this song and pretty much entire album so damn good. PJ Harvey. Liz Phair. L7. Hole. A great era for rockers and half of them women.
Juliana Hatfield - another indy darling. Out of Boston, she was originally with indy group, The Blake Babies in the late 80s. Then went solo in '92. She goes back and forth between hard sound and softer sound. Her voice belies the harder edge of the songs like Rider or Dame with a Rod.
Loved her and the others from that scene like Evan Dando.
@@fredinaz "It's a Shame About Ray" and "Come on Feel", that feature both of them, are two of my favorite albums of all time.
I LOVE JH! Been a fan since the early days, but I think my absolute favorite record of hers might be her ON-J cover album. You can hear how much love she has for the material.
Super underrated.
Love her cover of thunder road. Man i miss 80s 90s Harvard square
If you like this one, consider "6 Underground" by the Sneaker Pimps or "Naked Eye" by Luscious Jackson. Looking forward to this!
Both excellent songs
Great suggestions!
oooooh, Luscious Jackson YES.
lol. I thought my wife was the only one who listened to LJ!!
I think Spin Spin Sugar is a better Sneaker Pimps song to start with
From the Breeders you could move backwards or forwards with Tanya Donnelly, the guitarist. Backwards gets you to her work with Throwing Muses (fronted with her step sister Kristin Hersh). "Dizzy" has Kristin on vocals while "Not too Soon" has Tanya doing the singing. Forwards gets you to Tanya's fronting the band Belly and then her solo work. "Feed the Tree" and "Super-Connected" being some fairly well known songs.
Super Connected. I used to scream-sing that back in the day. It's so damn good.
Love Tanya's cooing vocals on "Not Too Soon." I also really dig "Full Moon, Empty Heart" from the first Belly album. I remember it being used to good effect in an episode of "Homicide" at the time also.
If you love guitars & alternative music the 90's does it the best.
It never occurred to me that this song could be heard without the video.
Pixies/Throwing Muses/Breeders/Belly swapped around members. All great. Kim and Kelly Deal in this band are identical twins.
Belly and Lush were my go-to so many times. But then again, 4AD...
@@marktait2371 The fact that they haven't even got around to The Pixies yet is a head-scratcher... :/
@@chefskiss6179 They did something by the Pixies on a live stream and thought it was just OK.
I don't remember which song.
Man this song was huge in '93. Lots of great suggestions in the comments. My two cents: What's Up by 4 Non Blondes, Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill, Kool Thing or Bull In The Heather by Sonic Youth, Naked Eye by Luscious Jackson. EDIT: So glad you guys loved it! Other Breeders songs to hit are Safari, Huffer, Son of Three, Divine Hammer. You are now in the world of 90s Indie Rock, with so many cool bands to discover.
I also recommend Bull In The Heather!! Awesome!!
"Saints" is a really underrated song too.
SO HAPPY you finally got to The Breeders. Women rockers just exploded in the 90's, and there is so much interesting driving rock to chose from!!!
One of my very favorite song from the 90's. It's just such a jam.
It's a killer jam!
It would be great if A&A did Pixies - Surfer Rosa album on Patreon as their introduction to that great band. Short (under 35 minutes) and full of bangers! That's how many of us first came across one of the most influential bands of the 80s-90s.
Yes...Bone Machine would be a great first Pixies song!
Andy and Alex, great reaction today. Kim Deal is the bassist and lead singer. She was and still is bassist and one of the lead singers for The Pixies. The Pixies are just as fun as the Breeders, and y’all should check them out. Next I would hit Jane’s Addiction. My personal favorite is Ocean Size. Lost in Vegas replayed the first min of Ocean Size 5 times because it’s that good.
Wait, did Paz Lenchantin leave the Pixies? Did Kim rejoin the band?
great Breeders reaction.. that bass line you hear at the start is from bassist Kim Deal who started the Breeders with her sister after leaving the seminal late 80s and early 90s band The Pixies where she was co-vocalist .. her best song with that band is “Gigantic” imo but they are full of great songs, Debaser, Here comes your man, Where is your mind.. you really need to hit them.. unlike any 80s music you’ve heard
How would they handle "This Monkey's Going to Heaven"? Hahaha!!
Caribouoooooooooooooo
@@scottboswell6406 "Monkey Gone to Heaven" or "Here Comes Your Man" would be the logical place for A&A to start, since it's the two Pixies songs everybody knows best (and they're probably the two most heavily-played Pixies songs on Spotify).
They finally got to this. I still can't believe that this came in dead last on one of the previous polls.
The Breeders are fantastic!
Maybe try Celebrity Skin by Hole?
Or Violet
What a nice surprise! This song is iconic, especially that bass line and Kim Deal's vocals. 🔥
The 90's were a phenomenal time for music. Seattle was a hotbed of artists and bands - Nirvana, AIC, Screaming Trees, Soundgarden, Candlebox, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam... the list could go on and on. Alt rock and primarily Grunge became a genera AND a lifestyle. Sadly, there will never be another decade like it.
When I was in college at University of North Texas in 1993, this song was literally a phenomenon. On the radio every hour, blasting out of every car and dorm room window, brought together the art punks and the frat boys and the music geeks to drink beer and jubilate.
Veruca Salt, The Seether.
My first thought as well.
Sometimes Alex's extended story analogies are just super spot-on...
Alanis Morrisette. Jagged Little Pill. She really blew the old sad break up song up and said f u to the world with You Ought To Know. It's so worth a listen. The whole album is a MASTERPIECE!
Kim Deal is an alternative rock goddess. From total obscurity to the most popular Pixie and then having a huge hit with Cannonball. Amazing artist.
One of the many reasons the 90s were my favorite era for music, and I grew up listening to 60’s, 70’s & 80’s music. The 90’s changed everything for me musically.
"Bull in the Heather" by Sonic Youth. It's one of the best Kim Gordon-led songs in their discography, and she's too much of an indie icon to be ignored. The video is great, too; it shows Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill dancing around as the band plays, interspersed with a very pregnant Kim singing and other cool ideas thrown in. It was directed by Spike Jonze - who also co-directed the video for "Cannonball" with Kim Gordon! 🤘
The Breeders have other good songs, but before doing another one, I would do a songs from Pixies, the band that the Breeders frontwoman Kim Deal was in before The Breeders. A possible choice from them is "Monkey Gone to Heaven". Other '90s rockers by women include "Seether" by Veruca Salt, "Connection" by Elastica, and several songs by PJ Harvey: "Sheela-Na-Gig", "Rid of Me", "50 Ft. Queenie", "Down by the Water", and "This Mess We're In". (The last one is from 2000.) Liz Phair was good too, but was somewhere between rocker and singer/songwriter.
Kim Deal was one of my "highschool crush", and was The Pixies bassist too.
Kim Deal's voice is so authentic and frankly kinda sexy. I love watching their live performances, because she appears so joyful when she's up there, just playful and innocent and truly loving the vibe.
Agreed. I've seen the Pixies twice - 10 years apart. So.Damn.Good. If the Pixies came to my town and had the audacity to not include Kim, I wouldn't go. No Kim - no Pixies.
Disagree! It's not "kinda" sexy. One of my favorite female voices ever.
@@McBeth. Kim left the Pixies in 2013. It's not about the band not including her-- she left the band. The Pixies have been touring, and recording new albums, with a new bassist, Paz Lenchantin, for ten years.
Kim Deal is a legend of the underground rock scene
Excellent choice! Now for current state-of-the-art female fronted bands, check out Weg Leg ("Chaise Longue", "Angelica", "Wet Dream", "Ur Mum"); The Beths ("Expert In A Dying Field", "When You Know You Know", "I'm Not Getting Excited"); Alvvays ("Archie, Marry Me"); The Last Dinner Party ("Nothing Matters"); Paramore; Yeah Yeah Yeahs; Wolf Alice. BTW: The Breeders have reformed and are currently touring.
One of my favourite things about this song is that it doesn't really strike me as something that was entirely thought through in terms of what the structure would be. like they had the lyrics for the verses, had the pieces of the guitar parts and knew the basic idea of the chorus, and that's it. It's as if someone was just nodding or silently counting down to the other members as to say "okay, get ready to change to the chorus in '3-2-1-now' or "okay, i'm about to sing a verse then play that clean lead in 3-2-1-now".
Such a great song. The BREEDERS were class... the ENTIRE "Last Splash" album is BRILLIANT. Next: "Saints" or "No Aloha" are both bangers. Speaking of Dayton, OH... You MUST hit GUIDED BY VOICES: The Greatest Indie Band of All-Time! STILL GOING STRONG!! (Try "Space Gun" or "Enemy" or "Lizard On The Red Brick Wall"... They are a Banger Legend!)
Guided By Voices isn't just a mere rabbit hole, it's Carlsbad Caverns. GBV frontman and nuclear-powered songwriting machine Bob Pollard is the only artist in rock history with whom it's impossible to keep up in terms of output. And yet his banger-to-clunker ratio is surprisingly good.
@@gregsager2062 AMEN. Pollard is an American treasure and simply one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
Official Iron Man Rally song or Teenage FBI.
This was the best rock song of the year it was released! I used to dance my a** off when this came on! As soon as you heard the 'awooah's at the start the dance floor filled up, that bass line would get you revved up, and then That Chorus!! Bodies were bouncing all over the place! Hahaha!! THANK YOU for this reaction! Other 90's female rockers (there were Many!!) include Elastica, Hole, L7, Veruca Salt, and Luscious Jackson!!
THEY'VE NEVER DONE SINEAD!
@@loosilu I suggested her the weekend she died, and a few other people did, but not that big a response. Some people strongly dislike her, smh.
@@loosilu Probably already heard most of her stuff.
@@USGrant-rr2by I actually sent messsages to them, they were not respondent
@@scottboswell6406 what the actual fuck. Elderly religious people in Ireland literally fell all over themselves to praise her
This song always has been and always will be a total banger. Love that you both loved it as well. From the first time I hear it back in the 90’s it instantly became one of my favorite tunes of the day. And you’re spot on with you White Stripes/Slightly sloppy vibe. Great reaction.
The official video is worth catching. Watching the twins perform is always a treat.
Throwing Muses are another great female led group from this time. They had some member overlap with the Breeders.
I would suggest PJ Harvey.
As a young woman in the 90's she was a role model for me; an independent, strong, talented and versatile female artist in the rock/alternative genre. She's amazing.
For ex 'A Perfect Day Elise', 'The Whores Hustle The Hustlers Whore', 'Is This Love', 'Dress'.
Other good female bands are Hole, L7, Babes in Toyland
Yes, yes, yes to PJ Harvey!
Sinead O'Connor's 1987 debut album 'Lion and the Cobra' is a masterpiece. It slaps you in the face and doesn't apologize and continues on for the duration.
If you are doing only 1 track then 'Troy' is the one.
Drink Before the War!
Not a bad track on it! But Troy probably my favorite.
Troy is the one to listen to.
1992's "Kid's Allright" by Bettie Serveert rocks with some good "slop" and fits the bill with Carol Van Dijk on lead.
Saw these guys on Lollapalooza 1994 in the heat of Miami. They were with Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, George Clinton and Tribe Called Quest. What a great show
Belly, Letters to Cleo, Throwing Muses, Veruca Salt, L7, Tracy Bonham, Sonic Youth, Sugarcubes, the Donnas are all female fronted bands from this era (late 80s, early 90s) that have the same sensibilities as the Breeders.
"Divine Hammer" is my second favorite Breeders song if you do end up wanting to check out another one from them.
One of my fave HS songs from WAY back in the day! Would jam out to this in grade 12 almost everyday driving to school!
Guitar vamp in the break is the BEST!
Breeders were awesome!
It's funny you think mid 90s is way back in the day. I graduated in 86' and I don't consider that "way back in the day". Niether do any other normal people.
Great example of instruments dropping out to let another shine. The bass shines as the guitar and drums drop out. Then the guitar and bass drop out for a quick drum shining moment... then the bass and drums drop out for the guitar to shine.
I discovered you two a few years ago and have just thoroughly enjoyed listening to you guys discover the songs that have been the soundtrack to my life. Great commentary and as someone old enough to be your Mom let me just say, you two are absolutely adorable! Always a great time - thanks guys!
L7 - "Wargasm" 90's punk from the all female band L7
Yeah, that's a great song. Also 'The Bomb'.
First one that comes to mind is Seether by Veruca Salt, and for Breeders I would go with Divine Hammer
My actual favorite part of this song is the groove banged out on the cymbal stand that starts it off. It's a perfect music moment.
Love the unusual combination of “purring kitten” vocals with the chucka chucka raw guitars and thumping bass lines. Somehow both raw and polished at the same time - phenomenal!
GOOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY!!!! ☮️💟♾️
Good morning @johnh3369!
Good Morning, John!

@@allisonreed7682 Hi Allison!
This whole album is 🔥
Glad you made it to this gem! The Breeders are from my hometown of Dayton OH . The sisters once came in to my art store!! I talked to Kim at checkout . Album cover mockup was their idea . So cool . Ps: The official video that goes with this song is incredible too .
Saw them at Lollapalooza '94. They were one of the afternoon acts on the main stage. Sounded excellent!
Sleater-Kinney
If you haven't hit Elastica yet, you should! Also fronted by three women with a guy on drums. I played the f*k out of their self titled debut album. "Connection" was the biggest song. "Stutter" and "Line Up" are other great tracks 👍
This was played on MTV all the time when I was in high school. Really good stuff, so stoked you finally got to it.
That's Kim Deal the original bass player for the Pixies along with her twin sister Kelley Deal. Kim Deal didn't get a lot of her songs on the Pixies albums as Frank Black was the primary writer, so the Breeders were her outlet as a side project. "Divine Hammer" is another decent track from that album. You can hear her vocals on several Pixies songs, usually in a complementary fashion to Frank's lead vocal. "Here Comes Your Man" is a primary example to check out.
Down by the Water by P.J. Harvey
G-d by Tori Amos
Doll Parts by Hole
Damn you Andy and Alex! Damn you! I haven’t heard this in 30 years, and because of you two it’s been stuck in my head for the last few days!
I played this like a 100,000 times in the early 90s. And haven't heard it since then. I almost got teary-eyed hearing it again, as it brought back great memories. F××king banger.
another female artist you need for sure is Bonnie Raitt - "Love me Like a Man". She plays blues guitar as well as anyone. She has a ton of hit songs
Gotta go with "Something To Talk About".
Please please please do Pixies next. Reacting to the Breeders before Pixies is blasphemy. Edit: I didn't realize it was a vote for a female group. Good Pick.
I mean, she was IN the Pixies.
@@loosilu She was in Pixies BEFORE the Breeders. Generally when you delve into artists you don't start at the end. And I know it's petty to bring up but it bugs the heck out of me. They are Pixies not THE Pixies.
I meant, the Pixies were *sort of* female fronted. @@alaskaguyd963
Been in my playlist since it was new. Still is today. SO glad you hit it and loved it!
I'm hearing a lot of Pixies influences in this, too (no surprise, considering Kim Deal's involvement). Both have a kind of punk undertone using drum drop-outs, feedback, dissonance, etc.
I friggin' love this song.
Who can name another Breeders song? No peeking...
I Writed songs, none of them are never be a hit. That's what life is made of...😅😅
Love the entire Last Splash album. Their other albums are harder to come by. I could not even get other albums at their concert.
Last Splash is the only other one I know.
Drivin’ on 9, Metal Man, Doe, Metagoth. I could go on for days…
Safari
I love how Andy and Alexs' musical tastes have widened since their channel began.
So glad you liked this. One of the few 90s rock albums I'll still throw on. Her voice is so 🤤
HOLE! I mean, you got to do Hole after the Breeders. Nothing else makes sense
Sonic Youth - Bull in the Heather
The best way to listen to this song is the way many of us did back in '93: on a stereo cranked up so loud, the speakers are distorting.
Yes! This comment brought back instant memories of this tune in my car, speakers fuzzing out. Thanks for that. ❤
Best reaction in awhile and I love all your vids lol :)
Hole-Violet/Celebrity Skin
No Doubt-Snakes/Excuse Me Mr.
Sonic Youth-'Cross the Breeze
Portishead-Sour Times/Glory Box
Bikini Kill-Rebel Girl
Liz Phair - 6'1"
Man would I love to see an entire Exile in Guyville reaction
@@Jesstron10 You and me both.
I second that recommendation!
Yes - The Breeders are ace and still touring - get yourself along to see them. Of course Kim Deal was in the Pixies so excellence all round.
The Donnas "Take It Off" a banger.
The mark of any great song is it puts you in your feels. This one does it in spades. It does leave you wanting a bit more on the vocals because she sounds so cool. The bass is just incredible.
Yes, Andy & Alex! So glad you guys hit this. A+ indeed! Dang, I do love the rockers of the 90's.
Yes!!!! Thanks for doing this one. Next, female band - 4 Non Blondes, "What's Up?" -1993.
I grew up in the 80s and went to college in the 90s. We had some cool-ass music.
Wanted to chime in and say happy you got to hear this. Really glad you enjoyed the song! The 90s were amazing there’s a bunch of songs off of the movie soundtrack to Singles that deserve a listen.
Andy & Alex: the best music reaction channel on RUclips... period!
Linda Rondstat ... Blue Bayou, You're No Good, When Will I Be Loved, Just One Look, Don't Know Much, It's So Easy, Poor Poor Pitiful Me...the list goes on. Powerful beautiful voice!
The vibe you are feeling here is peak Gen X. "The bong in this reggae song."
Gen X music is so damn underrated.
As a 90ies metal girl growing up with sepultura, Panera, RATM,… This female rock empowerment song was outstanding and one of the few female rock bands that made me feeling great being a girl trying to be taking seriously and respected in a male rock/metal world
Now that you've heard this track,, i would definitely suggest watching the Official Music Video for this one.
I loved the way your faces changed through the intro, each added layer!
Saw The Breeders opening for Nirvana in 1992 in NYC....OMG, one of my ALL TIME favorites, The Breeders are insanely amazing, keep going!!!!!
