Long before supposed singers hung naked on wrecking balls making suggestive sexual innuendos there was a time when the music actually mattered and that was during the glorious 90's. Now I am a 90's kid so I was really excited when I heard that there would be a concert featuring 3 great bands who helped define the music of the 90's.
Just as I have influenced Paul with music of my generation like Paramore, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco, his influence has rubbed off me as well and that is why a great chunk of my College Memories would include songs from Gin Blossoms.
Formed in 1987 Gin Blossoms have had their share of ups and downs, from changes in line up, a break up and even the suicide of one of their founding members. But despite these challenges Gin Blossoms have maintained relevant in the music industry 26 years later.
Gin Blossoms is such a big part of our relationship that we asked our Wedding Band to play 'As Long As It Matters' during our wedding check out the video below!
Some of my favorites from them include 'Hey Jealousy' and 'Till I Hear It From You' - which was one of the songs during our 'ligawan stage' :P

| Sugar Ray |
Growing up every one had a crush on Mark McGrath the lead singer of Sugar Ray. He was the epitome of a rock star the girls screamed and fawned over him and with his good looks and raspy vocals he is a rock star. He has also done some hosting stints for Extra and Don't Forget the Lyrics.
Formed in 1986, Sugar Ray started off with funk and metal influences and still maintained the funk (they have a Dj!) and released 90's hits such as Someday and Every Morning. My personal favorite of course is the ultimate ringtone ever - Answer the phone - check out the video below!
