About this listen

Clara hangs her first apartment posters in Saturn’s Favorite Music—and Episode 4 dives into the soundtrack behind them. Laura Lee sits down with her niece, Sophia, a musical-theater fan, who listens to Primal Scream, The Sugarcubes, The Cure, and The Stone Roses for the very first time.

From the surreal swirl of “Birthday” to the moody sprawl of “Fascination Street,” Sophia gives fresh, sharp takes on songs that shaped early-90s alternative radio. And when “Made of Stone” turns out to be both catchy and lyrically grim—“everything a car crash is not”—the discussion becomes a perfect example of how tone and meaning collide in the music of the era.
