I was drinking at the time and I think Bush was always a companion band to No DoubtQuote:

Stupid iphone replaced what I meant to type, "incomplete" with impartial for some reason, so we are in complete agreement here. It really was an amazing time for every genre of music.Quote:

Johnny Cash proved a good tune is simply a good tuneQuote:

Whoever posted White Zombie - man, that takes me back to DJing in an Industrial club. Nitzer Ebb, KMFDM, NIN, Ministry, etc.... so fun.
I wish Tool would get on spotify.
Yeah incredible...such a great rythmnist...Like Stuart Copeland from the Police...Quote:

I like the pure SWPL stoke from crackers boastin' on rap/hiphop appreciation. "I'm so hip I know a black dude, an asian lesbian and a turkish tranny, and I've loved hiphop since the 90s."
go here, look at items no. 107, 116, 14, 8, 7 and then you understand the difference between what people actually like, aesthetically speaking, and what they feel clique-bound to "appreciate" for core hipster points.
Kick it root down!
Damn, I missed that shit!
Blues Traveler, Travelers and Thieves.
Damn. Can't believe its been 20 years since Pavement's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" was released. One of my all-time favorites. Thanks for the reminder.
wonder if anyone ever said something similar to the King, the Killer or even ol slowhandQuote:

Truly, a white man cannot take inspiration from his black brethren.

Should this be in the "how cool do you have to be" thread?
Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose & Rusty Cage
Beastie Boys - Car Thief. Released in '89 but close enough.
good choices for the thread. you should be good. copy and paste the "share" link on the vids and put them between a couple youtubes. delete out the "http bla bla youtube/ " part out of the share link though. delete from the "h" up until/including the "/" . click on "reply with a quote" on someone that posted a song and you'll see where it goes or where to type the u tubes with brackets. 2nd one with backslash between [ and y in youtube. man that's tough to s plain
Doesn't work. Forum spits out a message saying I'm not allowed to post links of any kind until I've posted "a few times." I'm not cool enough yet.
hasn't stopped anyone else. case and pt.........Quote:

Rich Robinson: The Black Crowes Has Broken Up
Haven't listened to them in a long while but reading this made me cue up what I had on iTunes and man they made some good rock n roll. Music today blows compared to what it used to be.
(save it hipsters with your insistence that some obscure band saves the entire modern music landscape)
Huh - I thought they'd broken up long ago.
Motel Brown.
I've never been a huge BC fan, but I was at the Jimmy Page w/the Black Crowes show at the Roseland Ballroom. That was fun. Chris Robinson did a pretty good Robert Plant.Quote:

Dinosaur Jr. was I think one of the first to get signed out of Seattle. Wasn't Kurt Cobain considered for frontman?
Helmet's Meantime album is one of the best, start to finish, of the era.
Yeah, apparently just hiatuses.Quote:

I've only heard that show in passing on a buddy's iPod, that must have been pretty sweet! Some conflict with Columbia records wouldn't let them release the recordings (Crowes v Page labels I guess) with the rest of that show on CD so I think the only way to get them was to buy the tracks via some bootleg off the soundboard.Quote:

I might be a little dusted but I'm not insane
Soundgarden was the first out of that scene to get signed to a major label. I was going to UW and going out to see bands a lot...saw Soundgarden play to 50 people at a show benefiting a lesbian teen support group. Started seeing A&R guys at all these grunge shows, pretty amusing. Interesting (to me anyway) that within that mix of musicians, indie label crew, journalists etc we all mostly agreed that Hippie Big Buckle was the most intense band in the grunge scene. A band with pretty much zero recognition.Quote:

but
there was some incredible music during the 90s. most notably Leftfield "Leftism". If you like dance music, check this out. Classic! Also, so much good other good dance music was released back then.
Tons of respect to the music of the 80s. Even the mainstream music then was just incredible and still sounds amazing to this day. So much great classics from Run DMC, Beastie Boys, RHCP and more.
Not into electronic or dance music but I did enjoy the orange Chemical Bros album from the 90s.
