One of my best friends in middle school's oldest brother went to UGA and brought back an album by a local band. We thought that we were the coolest 7th graders ever because we were listening to college music. The band was REM and the album was "Murmur".
I was really into Sugar before they even came out with an album, but that's just because Bob Mould was fronting it. I drove 120 miles and bought "Copper Blue" the day it came out in 1991 or 92.
I saw a free show with the Lemonheads, the Smashing Pumpkins and some other band in 1990 in a dorm basement. Surprisingly, the Lemonheads were the best band.
