First The Video That Started it All. Man In The Box was shown over a year before Smells like Teen Spirit was.

Great Tune, Great Band. Funny they were classified as a Grunge Band, But had a Very Metal sound to them.

Radiohead-Creep

They remind me a lot of Pink Floyd for some odd reason.

White Zombie- More Human Than Human.

I dig the opening riff on this one. To me this is one of the last great metal songs.

Nine Inch Nails- Head Like a Hole.

[ppg960]

I never listened to that music as I hate Grunge.
My fav from the 90's is Collective Soul.
They put on a great show as well.

[Last_Child]

I don't mind Grunge, but I don't listen to it frequently.

But I do love Soul Asylum!

This is Blind Melon from Woodstock 94', about 5 years before Limp Dixit fucked everything up. Doesn't get any more hippie than this:

[The_KiD]

Enjoying the Flashbacks.. Very nice..

I remember the first time I heard Nirvana. It sounded so different from what I was used to. I dug it. I always preferred Nirvana over Pearl Jam.

Soul Asylum unfortunately got nailed with a hit pop song "runaway train" early on which forever haunts them. They are a great band and their latest 2006 release "Silver Lining" is an excellent album.

I also really dig the NIN first album "Pretty Hate Machine". What a great fucking album. None of the following albums ever really did it for me like that one. I still throw it into rotation often.

Also, how cool was Smashing Pumpkins "Gish" and "Siamese Dream" the first time you heard it? I thought it was great shit at the time.

Personally I think the best band to come out of this era by far though is Alice & Chains. It is unfortunate that they got bundled in the to the genre of Grunge as I do not think of them that way..

Cheers,

KiD

Yeah.. I fucking love the album it's on.
I heard the Made to be broken album to a friend of mine.. Good songs, but the production fucking sucked.

I'm planning to get their newest album in the next few days.. If not the new Jet album.

Yes, you can't leave out the mighty Stone Temple Pilots.
One of the few bands from that time frame that got better and broke away from the "Grunge" scene . They went on to create some really interesting and diverse music.

Yup, the first GNR album rocked big time.
It changed music or Rock if you will, forever.

True dat. UYI 1&2 had a lot of great stuff on them but unlike Appetite they also had fillers.

[DrMaddVibe]

There was crap on that too!

[binnie]

Unchainme, this is a fantastic thread dude!

I was never a huge Nirvana fan, I've got all the records and I listened to them loads, but I thought a lot of other "grunge" bands were far more inventive (just my opinion..)

Alice In Chains are possibly the most important heavy band of the past 15 years: whenever I hear a Nu Metal, EMO, Screamo etc band go into that "melodic" chorus (which ususally just means they stop screaming rather than writing a hook) I know who they're ripping off - AIC prooved that you could be ultra heavy and melodic, and that's fucking hard to do.

Soundgarden, sheer genius. From the skull crushing heaviness of Loud Love or Badmotorfinger, through the music eclectism of Superunkonown or Down on the Upside, you always had fantastic songs welded to great performances. No-one played like Kim, no one sang like Chirs Cornell. I just can't imagine how there records could be any better.

Janes Addiction, the 80's were getting boring until they came along. Trully unique, weird and wonderful. "Nothing Shocking" would be up there in my top ten favourite records...

Pearl Jam, the soul of "grunge". Neil Young wannbee's but heavier, gritty vocals and lyrics that hark back to the "stroyteller" days of the 60's - they always make you feel it, and their record this year was a return to form.

There were so many other bands I love too; Blind Melon, Mother Love Bone (wish those two had had longer, don't think we even scratched the surface of their potential), Temple of the Dog, Tad, all had fine moments.

If you want to check out a fantsitc grunge record, listen to Kerbdog "On the Turn", came out '96 I think. Quite simply, there's not a bad tune on it, great hooks, great lyircs and a guitar tone to die for....

[Eyes of the Night]

I know Ben Sheppard! ... cooked him food all the time ... Island Grill, bainbridge island Warshington State ...

This is why I rock ... Growing up in the scene I had already been playing Van Halen for 3 years when I combinded the 2 and made Van grunge ...

Sticky this thread in the HOUSE! ...
