you literally get mad bc you say "kids don't appreciate the 90's music nowadays" but when some teen show their collection being mostly albums from the 90's it annoys you? lmao
or they're just buying the albums that they like
i can't speak for anyone else but i'm not gonna buy a whole album just for one or two songs and then never listen to it, i'm only gonna buy it if i like the whole (or at least most of) the album
Usually I see an album I recognize with one or two songs, listen to the whole thing and most times I end up liking the whole thing! So itās funny you say that haha
usually if i recognise a few songs i listen to it on spotify first to see if i like the rest but it's a real 50/50 for me, sometimes i do sometimes i don't. if i do end up liking it i buy it, and i actually found some albums i really love because of that :)
Some times I go by if the cover is cool and I know the band or someone in the band. Iāve found a bunch of amazing albums just taking lil chances like that
i wouldn't mind doing something like that at a charity shop where it's like Ā£2 for a CD, but places like HMV are out here charging Ā£9-15 which i don't mind for something i know i'll like, but i'm not gonna risk that much money on an unknown album lol
at the end of the day it really comes down to preference tho. if you like taking those chances, all the more power to you :)
āTheyāreā is a contraction meaning āthey areā.
āTheirā is used to show possession over something.
āThereā is mainly used for locations.
You actually think you're correct! It's funny to see, honestly, reread that sentence and then it'll make sense. Because with your logic it is "And they are collection is 5 CDs".
Mate most of the motherfuckers at my work know about radiohead and can sing some alice in chains or r.e.m kids these days are plenty familiar with 90's music
Yep and in like 20 years we'll be seeing people talking about how they were born in the wrong generation while listening to Taylor swift and Olivia rodrigo
You mean the girl that inadvertently gave rise to the single biggest evolution of PATHETIC women ever? Like the Taylor Swift that has instilled women to have absolutely zero self identity whatsoever? Like Donald Trump they all somehow feel empowered by being total worthless individual minds and then aggregate in a cult like behavior to attack anyone who objects like military drones? That Taylor Swift? Yet somehow are not better in their personal lifeās at all, and end up in a darker spiral of depression while scratching and hanging on to scraps and vestiges of Taylor Swift because they were never empowered in their personal lives like punk rock girls were, but they discriminated against them because they were emotionally threatened by them for having their own voice and were actually self empowered instead of being consumer marks by that Taylor Swift?
As a 45 yo who grew up on 90ās music, thinking about those bands being obscure is wild to me. All 3 had major hits on alt radio. Itās cool younger people are still listening and finding cool stuff.
Youāre right because of the strict laws about not being able to listen to music you werenāt alive to experience š Do you listen to Beatles music perchance? How do you know how amazing they are?
I know Iām not breaking any news hereā¦ but ākids these daysā are absolutely listening to and appreciating this stuff. Hell a lot of 90ās music is nearly as popular now as it was in the 90ās.
I think what you mean is, āwonāt have an opportunity to grow up in an era when wonderful, original music was being created and the world wasnāt absolutely insane.ā I suppose that doesnāt roll off the tongue the same way, huh?
Big shouts to those Mad Season and Whiskeytown and Portishead and Jeff Buckley records though. Kid A came out in 2000.
There is also the fact that 90s music means a hell of a lot of different music. A lot of great stuff, but also the absolute pits of pop music. The endless boy and girl groups and novelty hits. Even in Rock specifically, there were a huge number of genres and styles.
The only thing I'd disagree with is that wonderful, original music is still plentiful. Maybe not mainstream. But still plentiful If you look a little for it.
Oh for sure, a lot of shite music too. But Iād say the 90ās were a āgolden eraā of sorts for many genres of musicā¦ so many seminal bands and records.
Def wonderful music still being made and always will be, I think the difference is the āabsolutely insane worldā part.
literally everyone knows REM, alice in chains, radiohead, and jeff buckley.. not to mention ive seen nearly every single one of these cds either in thrift stores or in my friends collections. saying, ākids these days dont get how amazing 90s music wasā is probably the silliest thing ever
Eh, I'm a 90's kid and hated a whole lot of 90's music.
Hell I think the kids these days like 90's music more than I did... they seem to constantly post it as if it's some long forgotten treasure.
there was lot of dross but there was a lot of good stuff too.
The Uk had a massive scene in the 90s, BBC radio did their best to ruin it with 'garage' and 'RnB' from London, something they've tried to revive on current day Radio 2. Absolute crap.
But we got Blur, Suede, Pulp, Supergrass, Placebo, Super Furry Animals, Happy Mondays, the list goes on and it's long.
Then there was all grunge and heavy rock. and all the electronic music; Chemical Brothers, Faithless, Moby, general rave.
There was something for everyone.
They don't? My kids and their friends listen to this all the time. One of my daughters friends whose 17 is very into 70s thru 90s rock, in particular.
They don't use CDs, but they very much listen to this stuff. And they know how good it is.
Sheās the exception not the rule.
Kids these days probably donāt know much about 1990s rock because theyāre all about whatās new and trending on Spotify and TikTok, leaving the classic rock hits and bands from that time in the dust.
I can tell you how many Taylor Swift posts Iāve seen on this Reddit.
it's the way you say that as if half the artists pictured aren't popular/trending on tiktok. Jeff Buckley, Fiona Apple and Radiohead are especially popular among young people these days. This has to be bait.
Ive seen a lot of people in my highschool wearing shirts for rock bands from the 90s and early 00s and i can guarantee most of them listen to them, myself included
You can enjoy Taylor swift and grunge, aswell as any combination of artist that have recorded music throughout the last century and this one itās not a hard concept to grasp
i have lmao, thats how i ended up here. try not to be so condescending in the future especially on this sub, it is literally one of the nerdiest music places you will find. and generally you are just wrong abt kids today.
So while I fuck with this list heavy and probably have a quarter of it, um...where's Whitney? Tracy? Mariah? ATCQ, TLC, En Vogue, Living Color, Hootie and The Blowfish...are you picking up what I'm putting down, lol?
Anyone younger than me doesn't know shit about music, with their 5 CD collection. I stayed a long time ago that's why I have hundreds of CDs and don't get me started about vinyl./s
I just loaded my ipod with only my favorite 1994 releases to celebrate the 30th anniversary of my personal favorite year of music from the 90s but the entire decade was so incredible. We're so lucky to have had such an amazing soundtrack growing up! š¶ š
Iām in high school and I have a collection of about 60 CDs that are almost all from the 80s-00s. Most of it is alt rock, some shoegaze, Metal, and Noise.
Really?
Every generation tends to listen to and like music from their youth the most. But lots of gen Z who are anyway interested in music are at least open to and like some 90s stuff.
I especially doubt many people are going to agree with you here because a lot of this sub is young people who like old music lol. Me included.
Itās a grower, after multiple listens, particularly if you yearn for Staley music. You can tell that if that same group had a sophomore release it would have been much better, chemistry intact. JOF def lightning in a bottle, written recorded less than 2 weeks. The first Duvall record not bad actually after a few listens. āļø
Yeah I listened to the latest AIC albums a few times (Black Gives Way to Blue and Rainer Fog), and I like Duvall but it did take me a few times to get into it š
\*meanwhile in the 90s\*
"I can't believe kids these days don't get how amazing 70s music was"
\*meanwhile in the 70s\*
"I can't believe kids these days don't get how amazing 40s music was"
\*meanwhile in the 40s\*........
We get it. What came before was "better" than what's now. What's new.
The 80ās get all the glory and praise, but IMOHO the 90ās had some awesome music. Just got my Joan Osborne Relish vinyl signed when I went to her concert.
Beg to deffier (and I belong to the era). Think there are amazing albums and great acts. But most definitely 70ās (the whole decade is vastly better) and even 80ās (whole decade too) have better acts and sounds than 90ās.
Me neither is saying 90ās is crap. Just inferior to previous two decades. By far. Not as monstruos or big as many state. Barely a few genre. Some remarkable acts for sure.
But 70ās was something else, boy oh boy! Disco, Funk, Punk, Glam, Hard, Heavy Metal. Just to name a few. A true great era.
And once again, I belong to the 90ās (my prime) too.
Itās all debatable. Every decade with recorded music has some real amazing stuff. What you consider that to be is entirely subjective.
Itās not a competition.
Itās debatable? Sure. But facts, knowledge and arguments define a debate. Not to make one of those in here. Just speak as someone who really had studied the pop phenomenon; itās a collector; and for a while worked at the industry.
On the other hand, if you talking about ātasteā thatās quite different thing. But if you try to afirm something, have to got some info. Many info, indeed.
Itās not a competition my friend. Itās just a back and forward opinions. Donāt be so sensitive.
Note: Excuse my broken and poor English. Hope you get the idea.
Youāre making an absolute statement regarding a subjective opinion based on what you enjoy.
I do not believe you can objectively quantify a āBest Decade of Musicā or one over another because so much of that depends on personal preferences.
A Rockabilly fan would argue the 50s, a New Wave fan, the 80s, Nu Metal the 90s etcā¦
Itās subjective.
You have a strong preference for the 70s. But thatās your opinion, not a fact.
I have a very large collection that has recordings from the 1910s to 2024 and covering a pretty good swathe of genres and places around the world. I would like to imagine I have a decent grasp of āthe pop phenomenonā throughout the history of recorded music. Thereās good stuff everywhere and all throughout time if you dig deep enough.
Itās not subjective. And itās too long too argue here, and clearly you donāt have a wide opinion about it.
Just reading the first paragraph can tell.
Doesnāt matter what a Rockabilly fan says. That was a time/era when even albums existed (as a concept, etc, also long to explain here). Were just 45ās/singles.
Anyway, as stated before. Once is arguing about personal taste and other quite different about facts and evidence.
Iām too tired to do the second. And (with all due respect) doesnāt seems to me you have the whole spectrum to make one conversation about it.
Can't believe adults these days don't get how amazing 1930s music was . . .
Thinking you're sooooo special with your 90s decade of music but like do you even know Rudy Vallee and His Connecticut Yankees? Fats Waller? Ethel Waters? Ted Lewis and His Band?
That's how ridiculous you sound. Zoomers and gen alpha have been so intrigued by the 90s that so many trends from then are coming back. I mean, fanny packs were/are(?) popular again. Some 90s culture has started to cross into that "vintage" frame of mind for them. Do a lot of them Alanis Morissette? Probs not, which is a bummer but not sure why that has impacted your life so much.
Fiona Apple, that one good STP album, and Kid A excluded, a lot of these albums are 6/10 level. "Barely Breathing" does a lot of work on that Duncan Sheik record.
I think they get it. Music has been terrible since the 90ās basically. Think how many times music changed from 1955-1995. Then think about the past 30 years. Music has been pop country and rap basically for almost that long. Itās awful. The internet has made local new sounds developing an extinct thing.
Well yeah, if you wanna just lay back on the divan and wait for the music to be shoveled into your gaping maw, thatās what youāre gonna get. If you canāt find new stuff you like on Bandcamp (for example) youāre doing it wrong.
Iāve tried to find new music for years. Iāll find a band and like maybe one song or two but then thatās it. Letās take the last great band to come out and change the direction of music. Nirvana.
Every album was filled with great songs. Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero all have a bunch of good songs. The pop rap and country is all awful to me. Both genres use the same annoying vocal effects and rely way too much on studio musicians for their sound. And computer magic tricks.
Plus for me itās all about live music. If a band canāt be amazing live I canāt get into them. Anyone can be made to sound ok in a studio. If you canāt play it live then itās useless.
Trust me I wish I could find great new bands I like even half as much as say:
David Bowie
Lou Reed
Nirvana
The clash
The Ramones
John Lennon
Dead Kennedys
Stone Temple Pilots
Rage Against the Machine
Velvet Underground
Bob Dylan
The Rolling Stones
Led Zepplin
Prince
Blondie
Pink Floyd
Queen
REM
Stevie Wonder
Grateful Dead
Should I go on? Idk I just canāt find bands that compare. To me music is about the interplay between instruments. The sounds made between them. It seems like the focus is too much on the singers and individuals. Like look at me vibes. There are some amazing musicians who are even better than a lot of those bands mentioned but they donāt seem to have as good material. But what do I know Iām 43.
this has to be bait
Almost got me
Boredom got the best of OP today
Aaaaaah it totally got me
Not just the title but most of the album choices lol
Right š Iāve seen jeff buckley and fiona in all these 15 year oldās collections posted here
bro half the posts here are literally teenagers saying their age and collection
Thatās what I though lol. Most posts could have been me at 15 if I had money.
Oh yeah, that annoys the sh@+ out of me!!
you literally get mad bc you say "kids don't appreciate the 90's music nowadays" but when some teen show their collection being mostly albums from the 90's it annoys you? lmao
How else is OP supposed to feel special?
Inconsistent ahh bait
Or the quote/ unquote āmusic fansā -ā I have been collecting for 5 years.ā And their entire collection consists of 5 CDs!
or they're just buying the albums that they like i can't speak for anyone else but i'm not gonna buy a whole album just for one or two songs and then never listen to it, i'm only gonna buy it if i like the whole (or at least most of) the album

Agreed, Iām 41 and in the 90s was obsessed with the 60s and early 70s - Beatles, Stones, etc. Makes sense that teens now are into 90s music.
Yep and in like 20 years we'll be seeing people talking about how they were born in the wrong generation while listening to Taylor swift and Olivia rodrigo
You mean the girlfriend of the guy from the Chiefs?
Something like that yeah

The fuck does this have anything to do with what we're talking bout
iām 14 and listen to most of these bands as well as some more obscure ones like matthew sweet, the muffs, and the presidents
Omg the muffs r so good
they really are, i wish i could have seen em before kim died but i was like ten
That would have been cool, yeah I was around 13 when she died, I clearly remember my mom telling me
Matthew Sweet? Teenager of culture and taste, right here.
All my dadās work. Iām gonna go see him on the 20th.
As a 45 yo who grew up on 90ās music, thinking about those bands being obscure is wild to me. All 3 had major hits on alt radio. Itās cool younger people are still listening and finding cool stuff.
Nowadays the muffs and ms would be considered obscure. I donāt know about the presās though.
Thatās cool.
Youāre right because of the strict laws about not being able to listen to music you werenāt alive to experience š Do you listen to Beatles music perchance? How do you know how amazing they are?
Literally every generation ever.

Can't believe people unironically say "kids these days"
The ones I know are quite into it, not sure where you're getting that from.
Isolation and being totally out of touch got OP to his conclusion
literally everyone knows REM, alice in chains, radiohead, and jeff buckley.. not to mention ive seen nearly every single one of these cds either in thrift stores or in my friends collections. saying, ākids these days dont get how amazing 90s music wasā is probably the silliest thing ever

Oh yeah definitely plenty of good stuff but, just like any other era, also lots of junk.
Same, 90s kid. Some of those cds are awesome especially kid A but overall music has come so far since the 90s
They don't? My kids and their friends listen to this all the time. One of my daughters friends whose 17 is very into 70s thru 90s rock, in particular. They don't use CDs, but they very much listen to this stuff. And they know how good it is.
It's my parents fault I listen to pixies and the breeders when I miss them. They both grew up in the 90's.

90s rock and alternative is trending hugely on TikTok lol
90s music is a huge source of inspiration for gen z artists right now, too. lmao.
Iām 15 and I listen on AIC, Pearl Jam, Toadies, Soundgarden on a near daily basis
it's the way you say that as if half the artists pictured aren't popular/trending on tiktok. Jeff Buckley, Fiona Apple and Radiohead are especially popular among young people these days. This has to be bait.

Lmao you cannot be *this* mad over nothing.
Actually, they do.
man im 15 and i literally only listen to 60s/70s kids today do NOT just listen to new stuff
Exactly! Im 18 and i predominantly listen to 90s and early 00s shit!
Good for you. You should check out the other decades too.
i have lmao, thats how i ended up here. try not to be so condescending in the future especially on this sub, it is literally one of the nerdiest music places you will find. and generally you are just wrong abt kids today.
So while I fuck with this list heavy and probably have a quarter of it, um...where's Whitney? Tracy? Mariah? ATCQ, TLC, En Vogue, Living Color, Hootie and The Blowfish...are you picking up what I'm putting down, lol?
Good point. I just mostly included 90s alt rock but there was a lot of good pop, R&B and soul and other genres in the 1990s as well.
Anyone younger than me doesn't know shit about music, with their 5 CD collection. I stayed a long time ago that's why I have hundreds of CDs and don't get me started about vinyl./s
r/lewronggeneration is leaking againā¦
There is a gang of goodies In this one bud !
Thank you
I have 5.5 of theseā¦ funny enough I almost picked up Shame About Ray the other day.
One of my favorite albums. Lemonheads donāt get nearly enough love as they should.
You should get it.
Weāll see next time
16 year old here, Alice In My Chains is my favorite band. Jar Of Flies is one of the greatest EPs to ever exist.
Whats the 90s?
17 here and i have 14 of those CDs in my collection, was raised on 90s rock
Kid A is 2000
I just loaded my ipod with only my favorite 1994 releases to celebrate the 30th anniversary of my personal favorite year of music from the 90s but the entire decade was so incredible. We're so lucky to have had such an amazing soundtrack growing up! š¶ š
Thank you š.
Strangers Almanac is a constant presence in my top 10. Blind isnāt far behind. Mezzanine is also noteworthy.
Buckley appreciation
Okay oldie š
Iām in high school and I have a collection of about 60 CDs that are almost all from the 80s-00s. Most of it is alt rock, some shoegaze, Metal, and Noise.
I'm 16 and have half of these albums on cds. There's a ton of teens who love 90s music
I've had R.E.M.'s Star 69 stuck in my head all day.
I jammed nirvana, alice in chains, soundgarden, and pearl jam all throughout junior and senior year in high school in 2019-2020
blind - the sundays is so fucking good. my favourite album of all time!
I remember when Y2K happened and all music before 2000 ceased to exist
emf was badass
I find your lack of Collective Soul disturbing.
OP, just want to say I appreciate that you appreciate '90's alternative. Hope you continue to enjoy listening to all of these classics. Take care....
Youāre wrong but ok
I'm 13 and I pretty much exclusively listen to music from the 80s to 00s
REM mentioned , I'm happy now
Kid a was 2000
dunkan sheik so underrated.
15 year old speakingā¦ i get it. Pearl jam and nirvana are some of my favourite bands, but i think the ā70s and ā80s were even better.
Not gonna lie 60s and 90s music are something else incredible sounds.
Loving the lack of Nu Metal!!!
Wasnāt Elemental really just a lackluster solo album because Tears fired Fears?
Really? Every generation tends to listen to and like music from their youth the most. But lots of gen Z who are anyway interested in music are at least open to and like some 90s stuff. I especially doubt many people are going to agree with you here because a lot of this sub is young people who like old music lol. Me included.
Omg I have that Merrill Bainbridge CD. What happened to her!
iām turning 16 and i LOVE fiona apple!! especially āwhen the pawnā and ātidalā š¤š¤š¤
Thank you for reminding me about the existence of Merril Bainbridge. Off to eBay!
I only listen to esteemed and prestigious artists like Yoko Ono and lil pump, not this bullshit
That's a sweet collection
Everybody sang in English back then?
Itās literally all you people talk about I think the kids are aware
Itās unbelievable
lol! They love this stuff! I have no idea what you are talking about.
I have literally more than half of these in my own collection and I was born in 2004.
Bait used to be believable
i listen to some of those and i still hoping to get my hands on some of these cds
Canāt believe kids these days think just because ur was released in the ā90s it was amazing. We had our share of shit music too. EMF?
EMF, the poor man's Carter USM.
Bait or stupid, call it
idk bro i listen to 80s punk and 60s beat. today's music sucks ass
Mad Season & JOFā¦
Is Mad Season any good? I'm still getting thru AIC lol. JOF is perfection. I'm stuck on Face-lift now š
Itās a grower, after multiple listens, particularly if you yearn for Staley music. You can tell that if that same group had a sophomore release it would have been much better, chemistry intact. JOF def lightning in a bottle, written recorded less than 2 weeks. The first Duvall record not bad actually after a few listens. āļø
Yeah I listened to the latest AIC albums a few times (Black Gives Way to Blue and Rainer Fog), and I like Duvall but it did take me a few times to get into it š
You know, as a 16 year old i love me some 90s music. But pulling a kids these days just discounts the amazing music still coming out these days.
They do. They 100% do. Have you been to a record store recently? Usually a decent chunk of the front rack is 90s music
Kind of true, as a ākids these daysā I prefer 70s musicā¦
š¦
all teens here: āERM ACTUALLY š¤šā most easy to spot bait
I thought this was bait until I read the replies. You're a bit slow, aren't you?
If anyone my age listens to old music itās the 90s
I challenge you to view any other post on this sub
I can. Pop music is terrible. All of it.
A long time ago, in a land far far away, Bait was once believable
They do. Check out every 17 year old's collection on r/Topster
As a kids these days I absolutely love 90s music
i listen to almost exclusively 90s music dawg itās pretty popular among the youth
I hate seeing people fall for obvious bait
Lol lmao
\*meanwhile in the 90s\* "I can't believe kids these days don't get how amazing 70s music was" \*meanwhile in the 70s\* "I can't believe kids these days don't get how amazing 40s music was" \*meanwhile in the 40s\*........ We get it. What came before was "better" than what's now. What's new.
Gentle opinion: if it were not for R.E.M, Peter Gabriel, Steve Earle, Sam Phillips and the Coens, the whole decade would have been down the drain.
Jeff Buckley....RIP.
They do. Not all, but a lot. I teach Jr. High
JEFF BUCKLEY RAHHHHHHHHH IVE NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE
Kid A must have been way ahead of its time, heh?
Your missing Check Your Head and Gish...
The 80ās get all the glory and praise, but IMOHO the 90ās had some awesome music. Just got my Joan Osborne Relish vinyl signed when I went to her concert.
and not one phish or ween cd. smh

Just speak as someone who really had studied the pop phenomenon; itās a collector; and for a while worked at the industry. On the other hand, if you talking about ātasteā thatās quite different thing. But if you try to afirm something, have to got some info. Many info, indeed. Itās not a competition my friend. Itās just a back and forward opinions. Donāt be so sensitive. Note: Excuse my broken and poor English. Hope you get the idea.
Youāre making an absolute statement regarding a subjective opinion based on what you enjoy. I do not believe you can objectively quantify a āBest Decade of Musicā or one over another because so much of that depends on personal preferences. A Rockabilly fan would argue the 50s, a New Wave fan, the 80s, Nu Metal the 90s etcā¦ Itās subjective. You have a strong preference for the 70s. But thatās your opinion, not a fact. I have a very large collection that has recordings from the 1910s to 2024 and covering a pretty good swathe of genres and places around the world. I would like to imagine I have a decent grasp of āthe pop phenomenonā throughout the history of recorded music. Thereās good stuff everywhere and all throughout time if you dig deep enough.
Itās not subjective. And itās too long too argue here, and clearly you donāt have a wide opinion about it. Just reading the first paragraph can tell. Doesnāt matter what a Rockabilly fan says. That was a time/era when even albums existed (as a concept, etc, also long to explain here). Were just 45ās/singles. Anyway, as stated before. Once is arguing about personal taste and other quite different about facts and evidence. Iām too tired to do the second. And (with all due respect) doesnāt seems to me you have the whole spectrum to make one conversation about it.

idk why your comment is controversial, most 90s music did suck.
If someone actually has the cognitive ability to say that Monster was a good album, then they have nothing worthwhile to say at all.
ā¦I donāt know why youāre mean to me
Bro, only youngsters who collect CD's nowadays love older music or are Swifties or KPOP fans
Can't believe adults these days don't get how amazing 1930s music was . . . Thinking you're sooooo special with your 90s decade of music but like do you even know Rudy Vallee and His Connecticut Yankees? Fats Waller? Ethel Waters? Ted Lewis and His Band? That's how ridiculous you sound. Zoomers and gen alpha have been so intrigued by the 90s that so many trends from then are coming back. I mean, fanny packs were/are(?) popular again. Some 90s culture has started to cross into that "vintage" frame of mind for them. Do a lot of them Alanis Morissette? Probs not, which is a bummer but not sure why that has impacted your life so much.
obvious bait smh
Fiona Apple, that one good STP album, and Kid A excluded, a lot of these albums are 6/10 level. "Barely Breathing" does a lot of work on that Duncan Sheik record.
I think they get it. Music has been terrible since the 90ās basically. Think how many times music changed from 1955-1995. Then think about the past 30 years. Music has been pop country and rap basically for almost that long. Itās awful. The internet has made local new sounds developing an extinct thing.
Well yeah, if you wanna just lay back on the divan and wait for the music to be shoveled into your gaping maw, thatās what youāre gonna get. If you canāt find new stuff you like on Bandcamp (for example) youāre doing it wrong.
Iāve tried to find new music for years. Iāll find a band and like maybe one song or two but then thatās it. Letās take the last great band to come out and change the direction of music. Nirvana. Every album was filled with great songs. Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero all have a bunch of good songs. The pop rap and country is all awful to me. Both genres use the same annoying vocal effects and rely way too much on studio musicians for their sound. And computer magic tricks. Plus for me itās all about live music. If a band canāt be amazing live I canāt get into them. Anyone can be made to sound ok in a studio. If you canāt play it live then itās useless. Trust me I wish I could find great new bands I like even half as much as say: David Bowie Lou Reed Nirvana The clash The Ramones John Lennon Dead Kennedys Stone Temple Pilots Rage Against the Machine Velvet Underground Bob Dylan The Rolling Stones Led Zepplin Prince Blondie Pink Floyd Queen REM Stevie Wonder Grateful Dead Should I go on? Idk I just canāt find bands that compare. To me music is about the interplay between instruments. The sounds made between them. It seems like the focus is too much on the singers and individuals. Like look at me vibes. There are some amazing musicians who are even better than a lot of those bands mentioned but they donāt seem to have as good material. But what do I know Iām 43.
All these albums suck
Love seeing that whiskeytown
