    Filter was great, tribute to Kurt Cobain. "hey man nice shot"

    That wasn't a tribute to Kurt Cobain. It was about Budd Dywer, a PA treasurer who comitted suicide pubicly.

    yep your right, just looked it up, another myth busted in the music biz. i hope you are compensated well for all of your knowledge

    I don't do bad! haha!

    Actually, the only reason I knew that was because I heard an interview with Filter quite a few years ago and they cleared up that "myth".

    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.

    The Cult were already popular in the 80's :wink:

    White Zombie could sort of be classified 90's but they already had a following and 2 albums out before the 1990's.

    This.

    Saw them live, albeit only a few years back, but all that mattered was that The two main pieces were there...Duffy and Atsbury. They were amazing.

    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.
