90's appreciation thrad

Music in the early 90s was fantastic. In the course of 3ish years I saw the Dead (a few times), Primus, Pearl Jam (a bunch), AiC, Black Crowes, Van Halen, Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, RATM (don't remember), WSP, Phish, Metallica, Megadeth, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Dave Mathews (there for the poon), Jane's Addiction and Page & Plant.

I mean, fuck me. I had no idea at the time.

Geez! That is one helluva good run of shows! What a magical crossover time that will never be duplicated. You had musicians from the 70s who were still killing it (cuz it was barely 1.5-2 decades later) and you had up and coming bands that are still crushing today.

You REALLY got to see some of those guys in their prime. Badass. I'm jealous.

Funny you mention that. At least once a year, usually while skiing or on a drive, I make a point to crank Siamese Dream and Gish as loud as I can and just fade away to great memories of the past.


Just unbelievable music. Jimmy Chamberlain on drums is all-time.

Just hear that snare drum roll to kick off Siamese Dream and Cherub Rock in your head and you’re off and running.

Pumpkins did a lot of Rush covers in their early days..

All the listed bands are just awesome!

There were some great movie soundtracks. Remember these cool collaborations? Almost entire albums with songs made just for the movie. Do they do this anymore?

Filter + Crystal Method.

My whole life I thought the 90's were the best years of my life, now I find out I was actually just riding the 80's wave. I guess I never really lived in the 90's. Wait, does it count if they released albums in the 90's.........I feel like that would make them 90's bands regardless of when they formed. Man this stuff is getting complicated.

Many of the 90’s bands formed in the late 80’s and released albums in the 90’s and became popular in the 90’s.

Those are 90’s bands, not 80’s bands.

Grateful Dead? Not a 90’s band.

I listened to more Zeppelin, Marley, Sabbath, Pink Floyd than anything else in the 90’s but it’s definitely not 90’s music.

So Neil Young is a 90s artist? Tom Petty?

I associate all bands he listed with the mid to late 80s. They released albums in the 90s but that’s not when I first heard and started listening to them

I guess it’s hard to really define with some of these bands.

Maybe when they hit peak pop culture relevance?

For example, The Rolling Stones? 60’s band, 70’s band, 80’s band, 90’s band??

They pumped out albums across half a century but my brain thinks they are late 60’s or 70’s band based on their sound at peak popularity.

Some of their biggest hits were in the 60’s. Are they still touring?

sounds terrible
I spent the 90s doing a ton of drugs fucking off skiing riding my bike throwing up on main street numerous time being a menace to society thinking I was gods gift to ski town living
driving around barely 16 drunk as shit falling over trying to pump gas in the middle of the night tripping on acid
the first time I smoked crack wasn't that fun for twenty minutes is crack an 80s thing or a 90s thing?

but hey Im paying for it today just put in 8 or so hrs of paper work this weekend glad I got it out of my system when I was in my teens and twenties or I'd be a miserable human being today (oh wait= never mind)

I really wanted to post Linkin Park here. Really feels late 90s to me but definitely not on most peoples' radar until early 00s..

Yeah. It is kind of tough to categorize some like that. Aerosmith for example had a helluva good run and was distinctly popular in each decade for very different albums. Same could be said for Michael Jackson or David Bowie. We witnessed a serious evolution with those guys. Some of Bowie's music in the 90s was so kick ass, as he collaborated with Trent Reznor. So he was VERY 90s for a couple albums there.

Other acts stayed frozen in time which could make them a 60s, 70s, whatever band. Which is fine. Sometimes their fans demanded that. Haha.

I can see that perspective, I never really watched MTv or listened to commercial radio from the early 80s on. I was living in the Bay Area from 88 to 03 and by the time a lot of the bands that got their start in the 80s achieved commercial success I had moved on to roots Americana, blues, jazz, country and bluegrass. A bunch of venues with live music any night of the week during that period. I was 20 in 88.

Singles would be my vote but the Godzilla soundtrack was on point as well.

This Rage song is great IMO:



Also, Tracy Bonham had pipes:

So close, but I discovered it in the early 90's and it changed everything for me.

Tupac plays Bishop in Juice. If you want more trivia answers I’ve got enough to go around. Know the Ledge.

Ugh no. I’d put Linkin Park right in there with Limp Bizkit, Smashmouth, Eminiem, Kid Rock (I dislike Eminem and Kid Rock but those Detroit boys can at least lay claim to having some originality).



The 90s were the decade that proved that white guys shouldn’t rap unless their named Mike, Adam or Ad Rock.

See also: Snow “Informer” and LFO (Light Funky ones) “summer girls”.

I took all of G'love's money that he had on him at my weekly poker game. That wasn't that hard actually, but it paid a few months of bills. Nice guy actually, just not very smart in many senses. But who is laughing now. Ha. I can't even imagine what Vanilla Ice grossed.

Perfect example of the 90s whack ass white rapper. Son of a banking lawyer, went to babysitting school (Skidmore), grew up in the wealthiest neighborhood of Philly.
He definitely didn’t come up on the streets.

I wonder if that was his money you took or his family’s money.

Never heard G Love ever called a “rapper”.

Have you ever even listened to him? I’m not a big fan but that isn’t rap. Haha

^ Nice.

AiC- Jar of Flies is an album that I slept on a bit at the time, but later became one of the greats from the 90’s. I’d say Alice In Chains in general was mid-pack for me as far as grunge bands back in the 90’s, but looking back now they are the top of the pack for sure.

I mean, holy shit:
