Ethan Rosenberg- Interesting Audio Piece

First and foremost, this piece is long. It is actually really long. It clocks in at nearly 100 minutes, but for 100 minutes, you get to hear a group of people discuss their favorite music of the 90's. Three things to know about me in context of this piece: music has been a passion of mine for the longest time, music journalism is my dream career, and there is no conversation i love more than the timeless "favorite music of all time" conversation, and that is what this is, entirely. I was also born at the start of the 90's and I know all of this music. I even remember hearing some of these songs during the decade. For example, my favorite band of all time is Radiohead, but I did not discover this band until around 2002; however, I remember hearing and knowing who Lauryn Hill was in 1999 when I was in third grade. I was aware that Nirvana was a huge deal and that Kurt Cobain had tragically killed himself early on in my childhood. It is an interesting take on the subject of 90's music when you hear it from the people who were old enough to digest this music. The highlight of this piece, in my opinion, comes at around the 30 minute where Bob Boilen is discussing how his faith in rock music was shot by the time the 90's rolled around, but, to his surprise, "rock kept going." They then play the song "Black Hole Sun," by Soundgarden, a song and a band I have never been a huge fan of, without introduction, and when it starts playing, it sounds so raw and powerful and you can really see what Boilen means by "rock kept going."
