I'd call Pixies 80s. One of my favorites by the way. I have all their studio albums.

#29 in the OP, yo..... One of my favorite songs of the 90's; Never Lose That Feeling.

I thought this totally rocked the 90's

That still is a great album.

I see it now. Rave Down by them was just an awesome song.

By the way................your #32, Love Spit Love, Am I Wrong is probably my favorite 90's song. Saw Psych Furs a few years ago. What an amazing voice on Richard Butler.

Good fucking call, man! I really dig the version of Am I Wrong on the Angus soundtrack with the marching band... whoever did that composition is a genius. Great, great fucking song! +1

Swervedriver kicks ass, too... I saw them open for the Pumpkins many years ago... every band I've ever started has been based around trying to capture their sound.

Detroit's own Sponge

Good call, Nachos... can't believe I forgot them. +1

Garbage

Belly

Ah, Julianna Hatfield

I used to play this song a lot when I had a show on Impact 89fm.

Yeah,Yeah,Yeah

When were you a DJ on Impact?

Just wanted to post the marching band version...

I was there 93-95

Oasis is one of my favorite bands, but I'll refrain from flooding this thread with Oasis videos.

Blind Melon, good call there. I've only ever heard their debut album, but I quite enjoy that.



To mention one I don't think I've seen in this thread yet, I'll throw out Pulp. I'm not super familiar with their stuff, but I generally like what I've heard.

Mudhoney, Frank Black, The Breeders, Screaming Trees, Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, Meatpuppets, Butthole Surfers, Tad (kinda cheezy, but I liked em), has anyone said Janes Addiction yet??? Violent Femmes..... MOTHERFUCKING BEASTIE BOYS!!!!!! R.E.M. Talking Heads...

I haven't reviewed this entire thread and committed it to memory, but most of those have not yet been mentioned, and I don't know how that could be.

I posted REM somewhere in there.... but post some vids of those mentioned, dawg!!!!

I was gonna post some Janes Addiction, but they had quite a ride in the 80's... I dunno... subjective and not that I would bite anyone's head off for including it.

Certainly would appreciate some Jane's Addiction in this thread... especially over Korn or some such bullshit.

I had a definite thing for Shirley Manson back in the day.

Soundgarden!

I bought a couple Mother Love Bone disks back then but can't remember if they sucked or not, but it seems like I bought more than one so they must have been OK? Don't recall...

Oh, that reminds me, I should prolly give a shoutout to Flat, Black and Circular. I can't tell you how many used disks I bought from that dude while I was at MSU.

Flat, Black and Circular was freaking phenomenal. I would spend hours in there going through cd racks.

Also, your Mother Love Bone reference reminds me that the Temple of the Dog album was amazing. Cornell is one of, if not the, best rock vocalists of our generation.

OH ****!!! MONSTER MAGNET! How could I have forgotten about them. #LoveThem

Do the Black Crowes count?

Alice Donut

Tripping Daisy

Barenaked Ladies

Big Chief

Buffalo Tom

Lenny Kravitz fucking rocked

Live

Mercury Rev

The Stone Roses

Day Glo Orange?

LMFAO, is Sloth still hanging around this or The Cock? Those guys were sweet as shit back in the day....

Sloth used to = love Soundgarden

King Swamp...

does INXS count?

Happy Mondays???

Now I'm reaching..... I know there are a couple good ones out there I'm forgetting.

In my mind INXS was really an 80's band. Both Listen Like Thieves and Kick came out in the 80's and that was, I think, their best work.

Agree... didn't look it up though.

LMAO, I have been listening to Mother Love Bone since I posted it. It is cheesy as shit, but I love it.

A bit of a different scene from most of these, but Clutch is a favorite if mine and their self titled album is still one of my favorites that I listen to regularly.

Yeah, MLB still had some of that 80's glam rock feel to it. Definitely didn't have the same edge as the bands that came out if it (ie. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden).

Jesus! I am overlooking a lot of bands I used to listen the hell out of...

Faith No More

Ween

They Might Be Giants

Suicidal Tendencies

Foo Fighters if they count.... Prolly too late. Not looking it up.

Are you a Monster Magnet fan then?

I am. And I almost forgot about Helmet - one of my favorite albums (and especially this song) from the 90's

Yeah, INXS was more 80's... great band, though.

Of course they count... they rocked the shit outta the mid-90s.

I posted Big Me in the op.

Here's a couple more songs from the Angus soundtrack;

Any mention of Helmet always reminds me of these guys:

So this thread started me listening to a bunch of Blind Melon. One of my favorite songs of theirs is St. Andrews Fall off of Soup. I think I like the song so much, at least in part, because of the story behind it and the way the song deliver's Shannon's feelings on the story (for those that don't know, apparently Blind Melon played St. Andrews Hall in Detroit for their tour for their first album and a girl committed suicide after the show by jumping from a building across the street from the theater). Well, I found this video of them in the studio recording that song and it is really good and figured I would post it here. One interesting point from the video is that at the time of recording the song was entitled Detroit Song/The Big Leap.

Great song, +1!

Something mellow from my favorite 90's band;

Best unplugged/acoustic concert of all-time.

Where do bad folks go when they die? They don't go to heaven where the angels fly...
