definitely, I spent a lot of time in the 90s listening to alt-country, it was pretty wicked seeing the revival and mixing of trad country & country-rock. whiskeytown was pretty incredible before it imploded and adams went on to become an NPR sort of entertainer. jayhawks delivered some great lyrics and Crazy Horse vibes. for a period, people in a sub-genre actually gave a shit about writing good lyrics. one of the best under-the-radar bands of that era: scud mountain boys.

even further away from most radar screens: neal casal.

great proof of lyrical brilliance in that era: golden smog, a funtime band.

It was still awesome.

By the time they got to Portland, Wu was replaced by The Roots.

Wow. Paul's Boutique turns 25 today. (yeah, I know, despite it coming out in '89 Beasties were a '90s band to me)

Speaking of 20 years since great 90's debuts; I watched Montage of Heck tonight. The Kurt Cobain movie.

I found it extremely depressing and very sad despite really liking their music. I don't know - the whole storyline about their kid being exposed to heroin and methadone in utero (no pun) and then the two of them completely whacked out on smack while tending to their baby was profoundly disgusting to me.

Pearl Jam's Ten turns 25 today.

Ufda. Are we becoming old fucks?

Awesome album.

90-93 Metallica were the Vintage years IMO.

Short answer is yes. We are old fucks. I suspect by time and looking at the majority of poster here, we attended high school/college in the 90s. If you are like me, you think the early 2000's were a short time ago. I now work with people in their 30's who graduated high school in the mid 2000's. A time when I was already a Mid 30's man with a wife and kids. In fact it hit me like a ton of bricks this past weekend when I watched 4 nieces and nephew all depart for college and thinking it was yesterday when they were born. Not to mention my own kids are not too far behind. Its maddening in a way. Having youtube makes it harder to roll back the clock watching videos and music from my own formative years.
Sorry for the rant, just feeling nostalgic.

Well, at least we have some good music to listen to along the way.

That's pretty good stuff. I went to college w one of the Dust Brothers and thought at the time he was an idiot wasting his time...can't believe he was on top of the producing world just a couple of years later.

I heard only snippets on the radio during this show but it was fascinating. They played every song for every sample used in the album. It was an all day thing so I heard a few bits. Haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet

After raging to them years ago, and revisiting their material recently I completely agree. I was noticing for the first time that they have a very unique "wall of sound" style to their music. Fantastically deep and existential lyrics as well. Basically poetry.

Maynard is doing a show at Boulder theater on Nov 26th, looks like s speaking type of thing but you get a copy of his book with each ticket. Missed out on Tool tickets, so this will have to do.

Tickets just went on sale btw.

Ok, so you listed 2 folk artists, a country artist and an unconventional rhythm instrumentalist. Though the 90's weren't exactly a breeding ground for folk music like the 60's and 70's I'll counter with this:

Folk--IZ 1993


Folk--Jewel 1995


Country--Garth Brooks, Geroge Strait, Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, Shania Twain, Reba, even Willie and there's plenty more. Country just isn't my thing.

Unconventional rhythm--while it's a stage show I'd say Blue Man Group would fit here...

Saw this show at the Agora in Cleveland for Siamese Dream. It was insanely good.

Then Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness hit in 95 and everything went to shit.

I'm a few years behind you - was in Hs then but man the music scene was so damn good then. The Agora was always getting fantastic shows - and it's a phenomenal place to see live music, so much history too.

Between that and Blossom during the summers (original Lollapaloozas come to mind) it was a great time to be young and hitting up shows.

The 90's were a good time for me. I played in a hard core band during the early 90's and played some good shows with some cool headliners. I lost my virginity. I had a couple of good deep winters skiing in Vermont on the weekends and then moved out west to ski powder full time. Before that I was seeing lots of hard core shows in NYC, bands like Into Another, Sheer Terror, Burn, SOIA, and Black Train Jack were some of the regulars. I distinctly remember the day Jerry died. My Mom used to talk about the day that Kennedy was shot and before that day that Jerry passed I didn't really get it. The big January in Steamboat with 260 inches was rad. The late nineties I spent as a couch surfing snow bohemian and closed the 90's with a 500+ inch season in Jackson Hole.

My 90's mainstream picks-
-Mad Season
-Alice In Chains
-Primus
-Biggie
-Janes
-WuTang
and probably a few more I'm forgetting.

I've always liked chick bands:

7 year bitch (great live act)

L7. (Another great live act)

Veruca Salt

Elastica

Cranberries

Carmina piranha

Alanis

Slater Kinney

Lots of good chick solo too

Liz Phair

Pj Harvey

Fiona Apple

Tori Amos.
