4. I like grunge but
Nirvana sucks. I like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains and Mudhoney and the Melvins though. I'm one of the few people who hate both Pearl Jam and Nirvana.

5. The melvins are so friggin good!
They have a release with Jello Biafra coming out soon.

Hostile Ambient Takeover is one of the best things I've gotten in the last year.

Mudhoney is great too!

6. All those bands suck.
Nirvana does not suck.

Pearl Jam sucks.

I mean no disrespect. If you are confused check out the "Your favorite band sucks" thread.

If you dare...

Mwaahahhaahhaa!

10. Sorry, but Nirvana DOES suck.
Edited on Fri Feb-27-04 09:44 PM by YellowRubberDuckie
Well, except for Dave Grohl(I think that's how you spell it.) Because I love the Foo Fighters. But Nirvana was just waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for me. I mean, Kurt Cobain was just gross. And I'm kinda bitter about that we knew him at all...because now we have to deal with Courtney and all her crap...

7. Too much "whoa is me" pussy whining in Grunge.
Brought on the whole "whoa is me" pussy whining era of music that was the 90's. Waaa Waa! Fucking crybabys.

8. I love the Pixies
and Frank Black up until the last couple of CDs. I don't know what category they fall into. (I'm probably a little old for this discussion.)

9. The Pixies sure as hell ain't grunge, thank god.
The Pixies aren't a matter of life or death, they're much more important than that.

12. Let's make a movie, SLB.
We'll call it "The Passion of the Pixies." There will be a great deal of controversy. We will become rich, I tell you! RICH!

15. I can see it now. Black Francis is reincarnated as Frank Black
after being crucified onstage on a giant neon crucifix. It must be gratuitously violent, purely to get the spiritual point across.

Edited on Fri Feb-27-04 09:48 PM by LastKnight
otherwise its just country infront of better instrurmentals. sure his guitar skills sucked... but he was one of the better if not one of the best songwriters of the early 90s

13. I hate nirvana
Edited on Fri Feb-27-04 09:51 PM by aldian159
I believe they are the most overrated band since Kiss. If that bum didn't kill himself, no one would remember him as this great force in music.

Cobain was nothing but a three-chord guitarist who couldn't sing worth a damn.

Edit for typo.

14. Can't stand it
I like "alternative" better from that era (1992-1995). Toad the Wet Sprocket, Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, Spin Doctors.
