I'll admit to liking their early music, but "The Soft Bulletin" sucked like a Tim Allen modified Hoover.

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.

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 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.
