The mid-nineties were huge for me musically not just because there was so much to choose from but because I was in college at Montana State and that's just what you're into when you're in college right?
1995 gave us a female alt-rock (potential) goddess, Poe. She appealed to chicks with her smooth, breathy vocals but had additional appeal with some serious attitude behind the lyrics. Her album "Hello" contained one Alternative hit, "Angry Johnny" but also contained an album full of gems. And a full album of listenable songs is always a winner, then or now.
