I am on a serious grunge fix right now
 

I watched Pearl Jam 20, which was fucking excellent. I'm going to buy it. Then I watched the making of Nirvana - Nevermind. I've relistened to the entire AIC discography and tonight I've listened to Temple Of The Dog and Mad Season- Above, atleast twice each. I need more input.

McCready's solo on Reach Down has giving me an erection that I may need to seek medical attention for.

Toooo the promise laaaand

Might go listen to Times of Trouble

Last thing I need is STP. But here it goes. Just put Purple in.

I have never really cared for them but (if you haven't already) check out Mudhoney.

Can't go wrong with Soundgardens Superunknown

Whiteyford speaks the truth.

Did they come out in the early 90's? If not, I'm probably not interested.

Candlebox yo

Candlebox has always been my shib

They are lumped in with the grunge movement of the early 90's, so go for it. :y:

Candlebox again yo

I do like a bit of grunge. Although I've never been huge on Pearl Jam.

I always found Pearl Jam to be a poor man's Soundgarden, but I have come to appreciate their Ten album over the years, mainly because Jeremy and Even flow are bad ass songs. But I have never really felt compelled to check out any of their other albums. I remember listening to my sister's copies of Vs. and Vitology 12-15 years ago, but can't say they left an impression upon me.


Oh, RP, you should check out the following albums:

Bikini Kill - Pussy Whipped
Babes of Toyland - Fontanelle
Hole - Live Through This (yes, Courtney Love is bat shit crazy and an irritant, but that is one tasty record, as is their first album Pretty on the Inside)


Even though they are not "grunge" bands, you should be listening to the late 80's early 90's albums of Husker Du (New Day Rising is tasty) and Sonic Youth (Daydream Nation is awesome).

Oh, and The Replacements' Let it Be and Tim. Again, not a grunge band, but alternative punky rock goodness.

Thats the only Hole album I own, even with the internets ability to get free music.

Pretty on the Inside is pretty damn raw compared to Live Through This, and especially Celebrity Skin, but PotI is pretty good.

Loved Violet, but everytime I see Courtney Love I feel like I need a shower.

Some Soundgarden.

I forgot about Veruca Salt. I have never really cared for them, but I like this song.

Oh GOD 4th of July. :heart: :heart: :heart:

Probably my fav Soundgarden song honestly.

Christ, I had forgotton how tasty Soundgarden were. If only we could go back to the early mid-90's, when rock still rocked.

I just loaded my iPhone with a shitload of STP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Local H for a road trip to the inlaws, found out they are coming down to us, turned back around, saw this thread, seeing faith restored in humanity, good shit.

Local H


Some post-Grunge mentions
Silverchair


Live

Love Live, got pretty much everything they've ever done.

I have never heard of Local H before; I quite like them. From that song posted, their sound seems to be a mash of Smashing Pumpkins, Failure, and Nirvana.

Got the Pumpkins playing in the background, I feel so old.

Clearly, this is the thread where all the cool people are at.

Gonna download some Local H I think.

I like the Soundgarden song at the end of Avengers too

Throwing Copper is legendary, Secret Samadhi is awesome, more dark themed.

1979 is a good song to relax to.

Good choice

I first heard that song I posted on the radio, and still remember to this day how fast I threw a cassette tape in the stereo to record it and mowed some lawns to get their album.

90's music triggers good memories in my head.

1st song of theirs I heard was Dolphins Cry, acoustic version's actually quite good too.

Love Disarm, keep hearing it on the radio surprisingly.

Got 2 albums set to download.

One gem on Throwing Copper, didn't get play on the radio back in the day due to it's name, Shit Towne. Great song about crappy neighbors and town they grew up in. Just found a live clip of them performing it.

Alice In Chains
 

Shit came full circle when I got to see them in concert finally in 2006. A list of some quick favs from me to this thread.

Again


Them Bones



Man In The Box



Would?

Man in a box has to be my fav AIC track, even just for being Dreamers theme.

It is pretty awesome.

I hate to spoil my celebration thread, because I'm using AIC as ” my band ”, but Bleed The Freak might be my favorite song.

No order ( yet ), but..

Bleed The Freak

Nutshell

Dont Follow

Junkhead ( lyrically, probably one of the best songs ever in the grunge era. He's basically singing about his situation being envious because he's rich, but its actually worse because he's a junky and the worst thing you can do is give a junkie money. Atleast, that's how I interpret it.

The entire Dirt album listens like a cry for help by Layne. Its pretty incredible to just sit, drink and listen too.

I'm not so sure Dirt isn't the greatest album of the grunge era.

No Excuses is my favorite ALice in Chains song. It's not really "grungy" however.

No Excuses is from the Jar Of Flies album. Horrendously underrated album. Rotten Apple, Dont Follow, No Excuses, Nutshell, I Stay Away...all on the same album??? That's stupid good.

If you haven't heard Mad Season, get it. Why would you not want to hear a band comprising of Barret Martin from Screaming Trees, Mike Mccready on lead guitar and Layne Staley singing lead? If Mad Season never happened and you asked me some of my dream guitar/lead combos, I guarantee I would say Mccready and Layne.

River of Deceit was the highlight song of the album, but Artificial Red is a song I always play on the box when I'm drinking in some dive.

I'm Above is another outstanding song on that album

There's a guy in my neighborhood who lives with his parents after falling on hard times, he's a stunning clone of Kurt Cobain and every time he walks by my house I go to my iPhone and turn on some grunge. It's like he triggers me to listen to that era and is a good reminder of when music was awesome, there are other genres I fuckin' love too, but I miss that era. Flannel, cook time.

I'm seeing Pearl Jam for the fourth time next month, and they have always been my favorite live band by far. I really enjoy a lot of their newer stuff too.
