Why don’t we talk about these ’90s bands anymore?

Hello friends, My Forever Analog YouTube channel will always have a main focus on gear updates, product reviews and physical media collecting. But, I also want to incorporate another video style in 2026 that simply focuses on music. I posted my first video in this format style a few weeks ago about bands from the 1990's that we've forgotten about, or at least aren't talked about as much as bands like Alice In Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and more. I sell a lot of CDs by those artists to a new generation of fans just discovering this era of music, but I worry they might not know about the next level of artists from that era that were just as great, even if they weren't as popular. I posted the video below highlighting a handful of 90s bands that I think deserve more visibility...I mean Nirvana wouldn't have even happened without some of these bands before them paving a way! If you have time, please consider checking out this video and let me know what you think of this new format. Again, my main focus will always be on gear, product reviews and the like, but I really had fun with this video and would like to try and squeeze these in as bonus content between reviews each month. I already have a list of bands from the 1970s that I think deserve more attention! Thank you for your time and support! Aaron |

That is a blue protective film on the top that I've yet to remove! I'm a big fan on the previous model, the DM13 and gave it a positive review on YouTube last year while comparing it against a Moondrop player: I haven't compared the sound signatures of the DM15 and the DM13 yet. I think most people assume that's the first thing I would test, but...
Hi Friends, I've reviewed a lot of newly released, modern CD players and one thing I've noticed is that the sound performance isn't the most important factor for me to consider. What I find to be most important is the feature set or really, just how the CD player works. Most new CD players offered today have the appropriate DAC design to sound fine and almost all new players have digital outputs to add an external DAC should you want to try and improve the sound. (My only advice is if you...
This time last year I posted a video on my YouTube channel highlighting 11 reasons why I thought CDs were coming back in 2025. After selling a lot of CDs in 2024, both in my vintage booth in our local antique mall and at record shows, I thought CDs were becoming cool again with a younger generation. That video was very popular, so I made a few more videos about CD players and those performed well. I then made videos highlighting rare and expensive CDs sold on Discogs and eBay and even THOSE...
