JFC, I can't believe I forgot them!

You've always seemed like an alright poster, but man, our tastes in music could hardly be any more different.

The Pixies, Frank Black, Ween, Red Kross, Teenage Fan Club, The Flaming Lips, White Stripes, PJ Harvey, Eels, Dandy Worhols, The Vines, The Strokes, The Posies, Weezer, Fiona Apple (brilliant!) and Matthew Sweet, to name a few.

Are you using Spotify?

Screaming Trees
The Breeders
Veruca Salt
Stabbing Westward

Holy **** I went through a year of Hole's Live Through This on repeat.

What a teenage girl.

I've successfully forgotten about them.

Spacehog

I just need the deftones n im good! Listen to them more now then i did back in 1994-95. lol

Give me Alice n' Chains for getting pumped and Mazzy for relaxing and I'm good.

I don't love all the bands listed, just know they were popular back in the day.

You don't get a lot of underground music when living in OK and Ks.


I will add "The Nixons". They had one good song called "Sister".

Yes.....still one of my favorites.

LMAO

I'm laughing because they were signed to the music publishing company I worked for and given an astonishing advance. Then, they flopped.

Write off.

Massive flop.

I lived in OK when they "broke out" and they overplayed the song. Boy did they suck after that!

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Y-LW6m0zX5A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Blind Melon , Arc Angels, 1000 maniacs, White Zombie, 3 Doors Down, Blues Traveler, 90's Tom Pettit, 90's Mellancamp, Beck, Rage Against the Machine.

Yes.

:facepalm:

Candlebox was Creed before Creed was Creed and Creed was Nickleback before Nickleback was Nickleback...

Wha? Disagree. Candlebox was Candlebox.

90's that has held up and I still listen to:

Radiohead (ok computer is my favorite from the 90s)
Sonic Youth (their best album was arguably late 80's)
The Cure (best album was in 89)
Pixies (also best stuff very late 80s)
Modest Mouse
The Flaming Lips (sneak in with Soft Bulletin from 99)
My Bloody Valentine
Tool

So many people overlook his solo stuff, but I think most of it is pretty great.

Used to see them at the Bottleneck here and there. They even opened up for us once. I just remember thinking, "this Dave Pirner-wannabe is really ****ing annoying".

All from roughly 1990, and before "Alternative" became not-so alternative:

I could see SR enjoying MBV. I wouldn't have known of them if they hadn't released a somewhat recent album. Also the muted vocals and overall sound of the band seem to work much better if you are listening on good headphones or system.

IF SR likes weed, he'll like MBV.

Alice in Chains' live album is just about perfect. Still miss Lane.

Easily my favorite band among the Seattle 90's big names.

You have some excellent choices in there - however Fugazi (I love them by the way 'waiting room' were were there! 1994!) and Front242 and Bob Mould belong elsewhere.


Here's another couple examples of what I'm looking for:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/46g8zDcziL0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Of course..

Trouble is, I know their stuff - I love them too ;)

I never understood why people have to hate on what other like when it comes to music.


Somethings popular. LET'S HATE IT!

My favorite of all-time. That MTV acoustic live CD was recorded to perfection. It sounds UNBELIEVABLE on a high-quality system.


Runner up for acoustic rock is Incubus. Those guys are good.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Dn05f4WYFJ0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That's an excellent song Simply.


My brother thought it was Tom Petty when he first heard it! LMAO

Thanks,

But Baby Lee - In respect to Bob Mould - Sugar fits the OP mold (lol) a little better for Bob's ventures vs Husker Do - wouldn't you say?

Cracker was formed out of the ashes of Camper Van Beethoven... I LOVE this cover!!

Creed and Nickleback are products of the record companies, manufactured/packaged/sure things for radio... like boy bands, except boy bands are honest and up front about it. Candlebox is in there because they were absolutely horrid live, couldn't replicate the sound from the studio.

I really liked what was coming from the other side of the pond in the early 90's... Jesus Jones, Soup Dragons, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, etc...

Holy throwback. Great thread...I'll jump in here in a minute.

Ned's had two bass players IIRC, they had a great sound.

I got into an Oasis and Tracy Chapman stage around 96/97

Found it!

Chloe was the only song of theirs I thought was good.

Alice in Chains :thumb:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/o4a9E89Iq3o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I still would 90s 'it' girl Tiffany Amber Theissen

I saw them at a festival in Germany '94. They played early day 1 of a two day festival. I thought they were pretty damn good.

Side note: Rollins and Suicidal Tendencies blew my mind on day two.

Poster children, sunny day real estate, Alice donut, Jesus lizard, Melvin's....

Saw them in a club a couple of years ago, it was one of the the best shows J had seen in quite some time.

I never liked Blind Melon....

This thread has covered most nooks and crannies. The only new one I could think of would be Sweet Water. I saw them open for Alice in Chains in the early 90's. I listened to their self-titled album a ton.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PnFHndoaxFc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Soup is an awesome album.


Also I'm a gigantic Fugazi fan, with Minor Threat before that. They don't belong in this group honestly. They're their own thing for sure.

Damn right you would.

Anyone that wouldn't is homo.

Cake!

Love Cake, but sensed it wasn't what SR was looking for. At that time, outside grunge, I was more of a Cake, PotUSA, Blink 182, Sum 41, Beasties, Faith No More, Urge, Bosstones, Weezer, TMBG, Cypress Hill type.

Boisterous, jump around stuff.

Heh. I haven't even thought about Sum 41 in a hell of a long time.

Never not a good time to blast this;

Now you got me reminiscing. Another long lost gem, saw these guys waay before major label came came calling

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Z8S0_DppB14" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I saw them play at a free concert in downtown Seattle. The Pain in the Grass series kicked all sorts of ass. Nice choice brah.

I agree. I saw Candlebox when they toured for their second album and they were absolutely god awful. My favorite song from them is "Change" and the douche singer spent half the song yelling at a security guard. The opening act that night blew them off the stage, which leads me to my other contribution - Sponge.

How Smashing Pumpkins hasn't been mentioned yet (did I miss it??) amazes me. This song inspires me every time I hear it. So good.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RumHTFUV7bA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

And no Sunny Day Real Estate? Whaaa?

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gAotWVmVRS4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Also, The Melvins.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cZiGPckX4Lo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

SR, this might speak a bit to what you're looking for.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/YnfoZ8gnIhk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Also, maybe this?

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/b0wfu3tOrtQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

No Weezer yet? Wuuuut?

****, compared to Candlebox, I'd listen to Weezer all goddamned day.

obligatory Nickelback post

TJL is awesome. I am amazed that Yow is still alive. Was always so plastered he rarely knew what city he was in.

I mentioned SDR and Melvin's a few posts ago!
