Decent grunge past the 90's, does it exist?
 
I've always loved bands like STP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and I like some Nirvana too even though I think they're beyond over rated (Guitar World named him #2 in a list of 100 greatest guitarists. FUCK YOU), but are there any grunge bands worth a shit into the 00's?

I feel like any grunge worth a shit and that was "underground" in the day quickly sold out.

This little-known band called Collective Soul.

Stop making so many threads.

Mad Melvin Jul 20th, 2011 07:23 AM

Therapy? - Troublegum is an awesome album. It's from the 90s, but you didn't mention it. Give it a whirl, if you haven't already.

ThrashO Jul 20th, 2011 07:33 AM

Man I'm an idiot. That song "December" I always thought was a Tom Petty song.

[edit] also I've been blowing up the music section because im finally updating my ipod after about 2 years since my computer crashed and I didnt feel like rebuilding my library because itunes and apple are a bunch of stingy shit streaks >:

if i were compiling a list of the top 100 guitarists i don't think cobain would ever cross my mind.

one time i bought a mother love bone cd at a used music shop and somehow i didn't realize it was a single. what the fuck. it wasn't even a good one.

Cobain made my Top 'he plays a guitar... I think' list

Grunge blew its head off along with Cobain. That's when Alternative reared its ugly head and took over. That and Boy Bands. I call it...The Dark Ages.

Dave Grohl went somewhere.

I was actually working in a record cd store when grunge disappeared and alternative took its place. And the boy band epidemic was there. N-Sync, 98 degrees, Hanson, Backstreet Boys all seemed to appear all at once. Then there was the Spice Girls... :shudder

creeposaurus Jul 22nd, 2011 10:56 AM

Their sole purpose was only to sell out. I can't imagine having to be surrounded by all that (things that can very easily set on fire too) shit for a living. I'll never forget the Spice Girl dolls that everyone was so obsessed with collecting. Jesus.

Closest thing to grunge, I would say, is Deftones. The other bands that wore the "nu grunge" jacket patch were just raincoat flashers. Their only hits were the aural equivalent of them approaching you, and then before you can object, you see their genitals (also known as "the whole album".

Of course, the bands that closely followed after Grunge's mud-stained coatails were what I thought Grunge was- commercialized punk-metal slowed to a dirge. When I heard the original Grunge bands I wasn't all that impressed, and I grew up in Seattle, so any of their shows were just a bus ride away.

Alternative radio was pretty awesome around 1996-'98, though.

If anyone wants more recommendations, I am steeped in 90's music knowledge. Pretty much everything on 107.7 THE END was great.

We'll call you. However if you do not receive a call from us within 72 hours then we have moved on to other applicants due to certain Google results.

Pram Maven Jul 22nd, 2011 05:07 PM

Suit yourself.

Pentegarn Jul 22nd, 2011 06:01 PM

Your list seems to have a noticeable lack of Tonic

Dixie Jul 29th, 2011 09:53 AM

Decent grunge?
Seriously...."decent GRUNGE"?
between Cram Gayin and WhitetrashO i can't decide who deserves my contempt more.
THE MEDIOCRITY HAS TO STOP SOMEWHERE!
I hope both of you get blood clots that travel to the spot in your brains that tells you it's a good idea to share these retarded thoughts with other people.

Instead of making this thread why didn't you just call up what they call a classic rock radio station these days and try to blow the DJ so he'd play some stupid 90s shoegazer flannel shirt music for you? You would have saved some time and not shown everyone you're a gigantic tool (ok that last part was a lie, your Limp bizkit thread already showed everyone you were a complete tool, but this thread made it way worse).
HAVE SOME PRIDE AND SHUT THE FUCK UP (both of you).

Tadao Jul 29th, 2011 01:38 PM

But Thrasho has to make a thread a day or else his bus will blow up!

Dixie Jul 29th, 2011 01:55 PM

I think he averages a bit more than one a day. I vote he lets the bus blow up but shutting the fuck up.

Tadao Jul 29th, 2011 01:59 PM

But he saw something on the internet and only wants to share it with you! His self importance demands that even his most mundane thoughts be written in silver amongst the clouds!

Dixie Jul 29th, 2011 02:17 PM

I firmly stick to my original wish fo a plague of blood clots. It's our only hope.

Tadao Jul 29th, 2011 02:21 PM

Same here, because waiting for some grunge fag to stop whining about how hard it is to have things isn't ever gonna happen.

I like how you misspelled a word that was going to be used incorrectly in the first place. :lol

Grislygus Jul 30th, 2011 01:57 PM

DID SOMEBODY SAY "COOL RAP"?!
