Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Photographers: Michael Childers; Richard Imrie. PLAYLIST YOUR WAY is a comprehensive overview of the Gin Blossoms' original 1990s (pre-2001 comeback) period. Collecting tracks from the band's first two albums, plus a light sprinkling of rarities like "Idiot Summer" (an energetic rocker from the Wayne's World 2 Soundtrack), the compilation delivers a fine selection of the band's jangly, melancholy, power pop-tinged alternative rock.
Defiantly waving the flag of power pop and jangly guitar rock at the height of the grunge movement, the Gin Blossoms proved to be an unlikely pop success in the mid 1990s. The band's 1992 breakthrough, NEW MISERABLE EXPERIENCE, produced several charting hits, including the jangle-pop classic "Hey Jealousy." Tragedy struck the band when principal songwriter and founder Doug Hopkins committed suicide in 1993. The rest of the band persevered, however, and continued to tour and record into the new millennium.
