What about The Replacements? I love that movie. Just barely missed the 90s (released in 8/2000) but obviously filmed in the 90s so lots of cultural relevance in this thread I think.

Cynthia Rothrock peaked in 1990

Excellent nomination. I wore out that album.

Also. Fucking bizarre video. Never seen it.

And. I guess it’s the same with the whole album.

Truth.

I didn’t realize how much the replacements did in the eighties

Growing up in Minnesota a lot of my friends are big Mats fans.. It was more of an 80s than 90s vibe for me but they peaked late 80s.early 90s so fair game for both decades..

Winona Ryder was at her peak in the 90s.

Despite the pulp fiction cheese to it, it was actually a decent storyline with great performances from Kevin Bacon, Matt Dillon and Neve Campbell (oh and her scenes with Denise Richards weren't too bad).

But the best person in the entire movie, by far, was Bill Murray. Completely stole the show.

Ok. I admit bill and Ted are most awesome.

So crates was the star of the show.

they rocked hard in the 80s

You mean “Californication and beyond is awful” right?

You heard the man. His take is harsher than mine.

Anyone talk about quality night light tv? Letterman and Daily Show with Jon Stewart are what I miss the most. Looking back it's a shame nothing seems to come close to those shows that, looking back, were just hitting it out of the park, nightly. Really took that for granted.

Weezer...worst band I've ever seen live, absolute dog shit. Sold my blue cd back to Twist and Shout.

Loved RHCP in my SoCal days, saw them play at Del Mar fairgrounds late 80's, super fun and funky. Some good old fashioned nasty lyrics and riffs on BSSM but if I hear under the bridge one more time I'm gonna puke, just like any song from Nirvana. Not having it. For me, Soundgarden >>>>>>>>>> Nirvana.

I hated soundgarden, mainly because I hated black hole sun and it was unavoidable.

Weezer live sounded just like their cd. I mean, maybe that’s technically impressive, but it definitely takes something out of the live show when it doesn’t sound live

So many of the alternapop hits from the 90s have become unavoidable “golden oldies” schlock that never went away, I’m not going to say Californication is bad or good but at the store the other day I heard “scar tissue” and noticed it is older than the clerk and never disappeared anytime between release and now
