Some great bands there. I confess to also being a huge fan of some U.K. shoegazer bands (although I find that term very annoying). Catherine Wheel was a fave.

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.





Two zero zero x should be locked in a room and fed gruel grudgingly until it goes mad and dies, while Robbie Williams plays in the background. "Oh but he's such a wonderful entertainer!" So is a football. Fuck, the late 80s beat this, this is how bad it is. That's it. Mass suicide pact anyone?_______________________________________________Gathering mailing listGathering at misera.nethttp://four.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/gathering
