Lazer Guided Melodies
Spiritualized
A master class in mediocrity. Lacks substance. Or, as Pitchfork.com puts it: "...feels almost weightless, an astral take on the blues that seems to drift by on cosmic winds. Itβs one of the most gentle rock records of its time, with spaced-out guitars and rolling bass lines tenderly nudging Jason Pierceβs vocal melodies along like a weathered stone rolling slowly down a hill."

Ten
Pearl Jam
David Browne from Entertainment Weekly 12/13/91:
With the release of Pearl Jamβs debut album, the so-called βSeattle Soundβ has become, for better or worse, institutionalized, a lumbering monolith waiting for the Next Big Thing to usurp it. Ten abounds with everything youβd expect from a band from this part of the country β mountain-high guitar riffing that tips its Northwestern hat to Led Zeppelin; misty, elliptical lyrics that only hint at their subject matter; the primordial wail of the wah-wah guitar; and the lugubrious, druggy ambience of a young hippie commune. While thereβs nothing wrong with any of that, youβve heard it all before on records by fellow Northwestern rockers like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and the defunct Mother Love Bone (some of whose members are in Pearl Jam). Like many of its Seattle cohorts, Pearl Jam also flail about in search of a groove and a song. Occasionally, as in the single βAlive,β they find both. More often, they lose themselves in a sound that only goes to show that just about anything can be harnessed and packaged. B-

From https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/pkyqkv/cursive-singing-tiktok-trend-explained
ββ¦cursive singing or "indie singing" β a style characterised by diphthongisation, wherein vowel sounds are stretched beyond what is necessary. The typical cursive vocal will resemble a child mid-tantrum trying to articulate their distress but ever so slightly missing the mark, with many phrases being incomprehensible. For example, "flood" becomes "floyuid", "time" becomes "toyiuem" and so on.β

Reading a bit about drummer Bill Ward on Wikipedia:
βAccording to Tony Iommi, he and the band would often set Ward's beard on fire and perform other harmful pranks on him. On one occasion, Ward even received third-degree burns.β
βWard almost died after a prank-gone-wrong during recording of Vol. 4 in 1972. The band were renting a Bel Air mansion belonging to John DuPont of the DuPont chemical company. The band found several spray cans of gold DuPont paint in a room of the house; finding Ward naked and unconscious after a night of heavy drinking, they thought it would be funny to cover the drummer from head to toe in gold paint. Ward soon became violently ill and had a seizure and an ambulance had to be called. The paint had blocked all of Ward's pores, which his bandmates were subsequently informed can be fatal.β

School's Out
Alice Cooper
Cooper has said he was inspired to write the song when answering the question, "What's the greatest three minutes of your life?". Cooper said: "There's two times during the year. One is Christmas morning, when you're just getting ready to open the presents. The greed factor is right there. The next one is the last three minutes of the last day of school when you're sitting there and it's like a slow fuse burning. I said, 'If we can catch that three minutes in a song, it's going to be so big."

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon & Garfunkel
A couple interesting tidbits from Roy Halee, sound engineer, for Paulβs recent audio book Miracle and Wonder:
The drum crash in The Boxer is a snare played in an elevator shaft. The aahhhhhs on The Only Living Boy in New York were recorded in an echo chamber (small room with speakers and a mic to add reverb) at the studio, but he put Paul and Art IN the chamber instead of just piping the recording through the speakers in the chamber.
