I'm OK with never hearing anything off any of those albums again. Some I like(d) but heard so much I never need to again. Admittedly not really a fan of the 90 Seattle music scene/grunge. Not saying it's bad, just not my thing.

I thought I liked RHCP and a friend asked me what RHCP song will I listen to on the radio without changing the station. None. I guess I don't like RHCP. Flea seems oOK.

I usually do a Russian roulette with my amazon music library when i go for a run and hit on pearl jam last week. Hadn’t listened to them in a while. Liked them a lot back in the day (saw them live 3 times i think). Still like them but maybe more for the nostalgia now. Anyways yellow ledbetter started playing during my run and couldnt stop laughing. Just the true stereotypical eddie vedder song. lol

I finally surrendered and had to look up the lyrics of that one.
My prior guesses.... Not even close

The only non chorus lyric in the song i ever partially got was “I said I don't really know i was the boxer or the bag” just a mumbling stumbling wailing bob dylan poseur mess lol

I just kind of preferred the Minneapolis music scene to Seattle's though it was no where near as big or long lasting as Seattle's. The Replacements, Husker-Du, Soul Asylum* etc, I probably proffered it because it was usually poppier/more melodic than grunge. Unless I am in a nostalgic mood I do not listen to much of that anymore either.

Working in record stores at the time of the Seattle invasion was tough. Some of it was great, some was shit. But some really great bands got buried by it.

Yes, that's Stanley Clarke on bass and Stewart Copeland on drums.



It was also right around the time Tragically Hip started to gain traction down here. Husker Du and Soul Asylum should have also been way bigger than they were.

I used to really like to watch MTVs 120 Minutes on Sunday night. It was a good place to see new and weird bands. Then it sort of changed and I didn't like it as much.

Recently someone compiled all the 120 playlists and it really did change. For years it was an eclectic selection of music from around the world. There were some "hits" that got played numerous weeks in a row but generally it was different stuff every week.

After grunge hit that completely changed and took over the show. Pretty much the same show exact show every week for months at a time.

I get it, that's what was hot and I'm not saying what they used to play was any better....but it was different, a variety, and I enjoyed it more.

Side notes:
I've never listened to an Alice In Chains song all the way through on purpose and I hope I never do. The worst of that entire scene imo.

Because of the eclectic stuff 120 Minutes (and the local radio station played before it turned into an alternative hits station) played I do have a handful of terrible albums I bought after hearing one song. Anyone want to borrow my Huxton Creepers album?
