Favorite 90's alternative band

[renard_ruse]

What's your favorite 90's alternative, grunge, pop punk, post-altetnative, industrial or whatever rock band from the 1990's?

For me its Smashing Pumpkins with Bush close runner up.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - although they were formed in the 80s, you could argue that the 90s was when they really came into their own.

I think that's true for most of the big 90's groups. Most were formed in the 80's and got big in the 90's, or re-invented themselves such as Social Distortion or Danzig (just using them as examples).

Nine Inch Nails.

Oh, the things I’d have done to/for/with Trent Reznor...

1994. Things of stone and wood.

Why do Nazi's grow like wild flowers.

What an awesome question in our present times.

It's uniquely Australian. I don't expect you to get the time and place that was but for me it smelled like surf board wax and sunscreen and pretty girls on summer nights.

I remember cycling along the beach into Bryon Bay to watch them in concert at a place called 'the piggery' long before they were signed up. Some hippy's dropped me home and fed me full of hooch and their hairy legged daughter.

Happy days.

Yeah, I got to see NIN at Club Nu on South Beach in 90, it was a big restaurant/club where they filmed a lot of scenes from Miami Vice. I had to lie my ass off to get in since I was 13. Marilyn Manson opened for him, but I’d seen them several times in local bars already.

He opened with Terrible Lie and I was in love!

Fuck all of them. Post-Rock...


Most of it was straight to the elevator.

I tend to like angrier music. Korn, Rage, and a lot of older punk.

Maybe I have issues.

I once had to endure a 'Skinny Puppy' concert. Talk about a freak show...

I saw them with the Dead Milkmen!

 

[Tim2run]

No shit.

It's a memory that I cannot erase from my mind.
I was paid to be there, but not enough...

 

[BrokenBarbie]

Go see a Gwar show, that should erase it.

I paid to see him in concert in 1962.

I paid half a crown (12.5 pence). I wasted my money:

I couldn't hear him because of the screaming teenage girls - for Frank Ifield!

Lots of Manchester indie bands from the late 80s and early 90s. The Stone Roses, James, Inspiral Carpets, The Charlatans, Happy Mondays.

Love Skinny Puppy.
eta Skinny Puppy wanted $666,000 after finding out their music was used as torture at Guatanamo.
Bad Brains, too.



Punk Rock Girl!

Bad Brains was always one of my favorites to see live, and in general.

That's a great pull!


For me, it was NIN, Soundgarden, AIC, Nirvana, and Girls Against Boys (they are the shit).

Skunk Anansie were awesome in the 90's but they seem to have just been completely forgotten.

That girl could fucking sing.

Srsly. I forgot about them until just now. They used to open for the same bands we opened for - KoRn, Limp Bizkit, etc.

First big show I saw NIN at was the first Lollapalooza tour in Orlando. Jane’s Addiction, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Butthole Surfers, Ice-T with Body Count, etc...

Awesome festival, I got in soooo much trouble for going though.

I so wish I'd seen them live.
