    Nirvana=soo overrated

    In your opinion. They were the break through band that revolutionized music for the decade.
    They were ONE of a number r of breakthrough bands. They werent even one of the original grunge bands. Had cobain not committed suicide, he would have never reached the godlike status he's given. He was a mediocre guitarist and singer at best. His song writing was unique, but it was unique for the time period. Grunge changed the music culture in the 90's. They alone are hardly responsible for the grunge movement.

    I'm not agruing with any of what you just said. If fact, I agree with most of it; however, Nirvana WAS credited as THE BAND to bring grunge/alternative mainstream. It's fact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_(band)

    So the over rated statement is a bit harsh.

    Keep in mind, I'm not saying they're horrible, even though I'm not a fan. My biggest beef is that somehow, Kurt Cobain gets all this credit for being gods gift to music. He was only a part of a movement, not the movement.

    Pearl Jam released Ten a month earlier than Nirvana released Nevermind. While it took a little bit longer for Ten to gain steam, that release clearly played just as big a role in the success of the grunge movement.

    Very good point!

    I often wonder myself where that band would be today had he not killed himself. IMO, Dave Grohl still leaves and the rest of the band fades into the 90's. Guess we'll never know.

    I didn't read through all the responses but I'd say Pearl Jam (I had a huge crush on Eddie Vedder), Mazzy Star and Bush (I also had a huge crush on Gavin Rossdale).

    Ten was Pearl Jam's first album, but didn't Nirvana release Bleach (although not popular at the time) out years before both Ten and Nevermind? Too many years and beers ago for me to recall if that's right or not. :laugh:

    Some of these started in the 80s (and maybe a couple in the 70s, like The Residents), but I think some of their finest work was in the 90s and these were some of my favorite bands in high school (92-96... hated the bands to come in the later 90s, such as all of that nu-metal crap): They Might Be Giants, Ween, The Residents, Sonic Youth, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Meat Puppets, Melvins, *kitten* Surfers, L7, Bikini Kill, Tool, Primus, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Concrete Blonde, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Jesus Lizard, The Dead Milkmen, The Breeders, Beck, Magnetic Fields, Yo La Tengo, Stereolab, Pizzicato 5, Cibo Matto, Frente!, The Cranberries, The Pixies, Frank Black/Black Francis, Pulp, Blur, Elastica


    Edit: reading over some of the other posts, I left out a lot of others I enjoyed. Overall, I still prefer the stuff I listened to in high school to most of the crap out today (I'm sure my parents said the same thing). There isn't much to have come out in the past 20 years that I'm too crazy about.

    I'm going to throw a band out there that probably 95% haven't even heard of... my favorite band of all time... Dream Theater.

    I have definitely heard of them, and I'm sure they are from the 80's!!

    They formed in the 80's and they did release their first album in 1989. But I consider their 'real' first album to be "Images and Words". That's when they formed as a band (with Labrie on vocals). So that's why I consider them a 90's band. :)

    AIC and STP. Kurt can't sing, Soundgarden bore me, Smashing Pumpkins are too sad. And post-grunge is terrible all around. I love my metal though, so that explains my opinion.

    Dream Theater FTW \m/

    Also, Primal Fear is good. Pantera (most people consider them 90's even though they stretch into the 80's and 00's)
