In the 90's, Sigmagrrl became VERY aware of the beauty and intensity of music and began her journey to amass a great collection of music. Not all artists I liked back then are on here, but the ones worth mentioning are. I've also given a comprehensive listing of where to find some of these artists' best work (well, IMHO)! Plus, going to school in one of the most progressive music towns in the US, I believe I got a great education in music!

Here we go:
