Grunge was just another nihilistic empty fashion statement. How come none of you grunge lovers mentioned the best grunge band: Screaming Trees?

Beck is probably the most talented to come out of that time period.

Oasis

Bush's sixteen Stone album still holds up.

Oh and NIN's downward Spiral album. This still sounds great. Further downward spiral is also good for a remix album.

Agreed... IF you are talking about the pop top 40 type stuff like NSuck and Nickelcrap or anything by Metallicrap past And Justice for All (pre Black they were Metallica and they were good) and don't get me started on how much I hate Fred Durst. Otherwise you're dead wrong. The 80's is the musical void consisting mosltly of butt hair rock and semi-electronic pop crap (not that Divo isn't funny but they suck).

On other notes, Nirvana was incredibly influential but gets more credit then they had talent for. Alice in Chains and Soundgarden were the good grunge bands.

Everything that Mike Patton did in the 90's from Faith No More to Mr. Bungle to the less heard of Fantomas is classic, period. Angeldust was and still is one of the greatest albums ever. All the garbage NuMetal bands like Papa Roach that speak so highly of him are tainting his legacy.

NIN freakin' rules.

Opeth... this band is so good that there's almost no reason to listen to anything else.

Other great 90's music includes: Tool, Helmet, early Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers), Bad Religion, Pearl Jam's Vitalogy album, anything by Chris Cornell, Soul Coughing (especially Ruby Vroom, Screenwriter's Blues is one of my favorite songs ever), EVERYTHING by Stone Temple Pilots, Monster Magnet, Korn's fist album, God Lives Underwater, etc... I could go on and on.

80's gets a bad rap. For that matter the70's and the 90's also get bad raps.

Why do people say these decades suck? If all 3 decades sucked what music did they listen to the last 30 years?

There is nothing wrong with the music of the 70's, 80's, and 90's. You can say the pop music was horrible, but that goes without saying.

Beneath all the crap there was lots of good music.

Okay early-nineties song: Movin' on Up by Primal Scream.



You do like hyperbole, don't you? Every decade has its musical embarassments- Pat Boone anyone? Racey? Cats U.K.? Styx? No decade has a monopoly.

1990s music I love:

Massive Attack: Blue Lines, Protection

Portishead: Dummy

Grant Lee Buffalo: Fuzzy

William Orbit: Strange Cargo III (especially Water From A Vine Leaf, with Beth Orton)

P.J. Harvey: To Bring You My Love

Attica Blues: Attica Blues

D.J. Shadow: Endtroducing...

Jhelisa: Friendly Pressure

Leftfield: The Afro-Left E.P.

Future Sound of London: ISDN

Mercury Rev: Deserter's Songs

Everything But The Girl: Walking Wounded

Dead Can Dance: A Passage in Time

Saint Etienne: Too Young To Die

Craig Armstrong: The Space Between Us

Morcheeba: Big Calm

Air: Moon Safari

Moloko: Do You Like My Tight Sweater?

Shara Nelson: What Silence Knows

That leaves out whole genres, including artists such as Emmylou Harris, who released the magnificent 'Wrecking Ball', Lucinda Williams, Iris Dement, Natalie Merchant, the Indigo Girls, June Tabor, Mary Coughlan, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Victoria Williams, Jane Siberry, Brian Eno, and so on and so on...

I can't believe no one's mentioned it yet:

The most influential CD of the 90's was Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville.

And "F*ck and Run" remains one hell of a song.

I tend to agree, especially about Mr. Bungle, Soul Coughing, STP, Pearl Jam. All great 90s groups. The eighties sucked so much that I used the time to:

1) Fill in my collection of older music, including some artists who continued their previously established music into the 1980s, like the Talking Heads, King Crimson, Roxy Music, David Bowie etc.

2) Check out the new indie type music that was managing to gain a fingernailhold on the market. I'm talking Butthole Surfers, Sonic Youth, Violent Femmes, Meat Puppets etc. Dire times (Madonna and Prince simultaneously!) call for dire music.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten this band other than "Dookie", but I have 4 of their albums, and IMO they are all good. This band has a lot more talent than their grungie beginnings would suggest. Their writing and arrangements are often quite sophisticated.

I'm glad Devilmunchkin mentioned Bjork, I really like her stuff. Some of the music on Post sends me into a rapturous tingling spine and head rush sort of feeling. Who needs drugs?
