. . . and replaced it with junkie-hair rock.
Grunge was just another nihilistic empty fashion statement. How come none of you grunge lovers mentioned the best grunge band: Screaming Trees?

Beck is probably the most talented to come out of that time period.

I'll admit to liking their early music, but "The Soft Bulletin" sucked like a Tim Allen modified Hoover.

Oasis

Bush's sixteen Stone album still holds up.

Oh and NIN's downward Spiral album. This still sounds great. Further downward spiral is also good for a remix album.

P.S. Nirvana and Pearl Jam peaked in the early nineties not mid-nineties.

I can grudgingly admit Wilco.

The nineties were the weakest decade of music since like the forties, consisting mostly of unlistenable, predictable bollocks.

Agreed... IF you are talking about the pop top 40 type stuff like NSuck and Nickelcrap or anything by Metallicrap past And Justice for All (pre Black they were Metallica and they were good) and don't get me started on how much I hate Fred Durst. Otherwise you're dead wrong. The 80's is the musical void consisting mosltly of butt hair rock and semi-electronic pop crap (not that Divo isn't funny but they suck).

On other notes, Nirvana was incredibly influential but gets more credit then they had talent for. Alice in Chains and Soundgarden were the good grunge bands.

Everything that Mike Patton did in the 90's from Faith No More to Mr. Bungle to the less heard of Fantomas is classic, period. Angeldust was and still is one of the greatest albums ever. All the garbage NuMetal bands like Papa Roach that speak so highly of him are tainting his legacy.

NIN freakin' rules.

Opeth... this band is so good that there's almost no reason to listen to anything else.

Other great 90's music includes: Tool, Helmet, early Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers), Bad Religion, Pearl Jam's Vitalogy album, anything by Chris Cornell, Soul Coughing (especially Ruby Vroom, Screenwriter's Blues is one of my favorite songs ever), EVERYTHING by Stone Temple Pilots, Monster Magnet, Korn's fist album, God Lives Underwater, etc... I could go on and on.

Green Day have a number of songs that fit the bill for me (even though I cant think of them as punk).

[BustaMike]

Live- I alone

Good call, I forgot about them. That song is incredible; however, I like both The Distance and Secret Samadhi better than Throwing Copper (I don't acknowledge that this band has other albums because they're so bad, lol).

[King of Rasslin]

The 80's were the GOLDEN age of American music.

VAN HALEN!!!!
