I was fourteen when this was released, a total grunge-and-metal kid with long hair and pretensions at being talented with the guitar. The media kept parading "techno" (as they termed it) as the Next Big Thing, and I raged with all the impotent rage of a teenaged boy. Then, one night on the radio, I heard "6 Underground" and I felt something hypnotic in it. "Spin Spin Sugar" was as cool as last call on a summer night. "Post-Modern Sleaze" had a bleak, serene beauty to it that had nothing to do with how I'd been told "techno" was supposed to sound. It was a turning point, the moment when I realized that there was more to life than meat and potatoes. Still a staple of rock clubs everywhere.
Where You'd Know It From: The electronic boom of the mid-90s, Saturday nights at rock clubs, the 23 weeks it spent on the Billboard chart.
