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:

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
