No album should be able to live up to the name 'I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass' but Yo La Tengo's 'I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass' absolutely does.

5: Hear
Rain
Can you hear me?
That when it rains and shines
(When it rains and shines)
It's just a state of mind
(When it rains and shines)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

My 90 Favourite Albums from the ’90s
#55 of 90: The Black Crowes – The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (1992)
In 1992, while Seattle was busy tearing down the foundations of rock ’n’ roll, The Black Crowes were digging through its roots, pouring bourbon over them, and setting the whole damn thing on fire.
Following the enormous success of "Shake Your Money Maker", The Black Crowes could have played it safe. Instead, they delivered something even better: a sprawling, soulful, blues-drenched record that captured a band finding its true identity.
With Marc Ford joining on guitar and Eddie Harsch adding his glorious Hammond organ, the Crowes developed a richer, looser sound. Chris Robinson's vocals were raw, passionate, and dripping with soul, while brother Rich supplied some of the finest riffs of the decade.
From the explosive opening of "Sting Me" to the swaggering "Remedy," the aching beauty of "Thorn in My Pride," and the magnificent "My Morning Song," this is an album that rarely puts a foot wrong.
And then there's "Sometimes Salvation," one of the band's greatest achievements. Dark, haunting, and emotionally charged, it showcases just how much depth lay beneath their swaggering rock ’n’ roll exterior.
What makes this record special is its authenticity. At a time when grunge was dominating the musical landscape, The Black Crowes unapologetically embraced the spirit of the Rolling Stones, Faces, and classic Southern rock without sounding like a mere nostalgia act.
"The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell over 2.5 million copies, proving there was still a massive appetite for gritty, soulful, guitar-driven rock.
For me, this is The Black Crowes at their absolute peak. Ten tracks, no filler, and a timeless reminder that great rock ’n’ roll doesn't need reinvention. It just needs passion, musicianship, and a whole lot of soul.

I'm a commissioning editor and I'm up to the tits in AI-written submissions. They absolutely reek of laziness and stupidity. What's the point of wanting to be a writer but finding writing to be an inconvenience? I delete every one of them.
I love every version of Can’t Hardly Wait I hear, even the acoustic one that’s sounds like it’s been recorded down a manhole. This furious outtake is a belter, a roughshod run-through of the Tim take.

30 years ago today, Wilco released ‘Being There,’ a sprawling double album sold for the price of one. Jeff Tweedy and company mixed alt-country heart, psychedelic wonder and glorious rock and roll into an enduring classic.

And then the onion lady blows
Kisses to the crying cooks

Out
Sunday drive past your own hall of fame
It's closed on weekdays, shut for good
Pick out no one when you're talking, felt like rattlesnakes were walking
No one has a clue

Looking for the rat that crowed
He's hooked up down in Mexico
