[kj] OT: why I hate cats..shittiest decade? 90s

[Bill Meissner]

It all depends on when you were born and what you grew up with - I hate
when people think RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE are as intense as it get's -
boring.....

I think the 90s was the worst decade ever for rock. At least 70s had
early punk (and pre-punk, e.g. NY Dolls), 80s had some good US
punk/indie (Black Flag, Replacements, Jason and the Scorchers, Pylon,
etc.), and the 2000s seem to have some ok
retro-80s/new-wave/post-punk/garage influenced bands, but the only stuff
I could stomach in the 90s was maybe Rancid and Shane McGowan and the
Mighty Mighty Bosstones (and of course the great Pandemonium record),
and all those bands even sound dated. C'mon, Soundgarden and Tool? Might
as well listen to Aerosmith...(don't mean to offend anyone, but I don't
like those last 3 bands)

90s is possibly my favourite decade for music ever...Soundgarden, Tool,
and my first exposure to Killing Joke on Pandemonium.

I think the 90s get a bad rap..but personally think it was a very
innovative time for music.  1988 thru 96..then it all went a bit poo..

your remarks are cute brendan, good for a laugh, but this is not a
personal taste issue. 

one doesn't have to care for some of the music of the 50's to understand
the point of ( not blanketing a decade full of revolutionary culture
shift into a simplistic footnote containing two singers and a dull
confection)  the effect maniac artists like little richard, link wray,
gene vincent, screamin' jay hawkins and jerry lee lewis had on american
popular culture and it's wake effecting the rest of the industrialized
world can't be denied... all music has roots.

Actually I had to endure my Dad singing that to my new nephew the other
day, ugh...gotta say I can put up with Buddy slightly easier than I can
Elvis.

 

Anyways, seriously when was the last time you had rocked out to the 50s
back catalog with a nice milkshake?

	 This has been the shittiest decade for music since the 50s.

wait, you mean to say that the 50's a decade when rock n roll stormed
the scene and frightened  popular culture into developing some cajones,
while saving the masses from the naive glucose oblivion that had
consumed it's soul was the shittiest decade????!! 

that's like saying the people who drove and drug their wobbly archaic
covered wagons full of furniture and everything they owned with a family
in tow, across 2000 miles of uncharted virgin soil, rock, river, tundra,
desert and forest finally reaching the destination after loosing two
kids and a wife to disease and torment, has accomplished less than the
fast food junky who drove his  ford mustang over tarmac and through stop
lights down the same path beaten by those covered wagons! 


the "greatness" of every other decade since is inevitably indebted to
those years of music in the 50's.

That's it.
 
Mass suicide pact anyone?
