what song would you hear in the background of your favorite
record shop.

I am seeking the best of grunge era bands.

Like badmotorfinger type shit. I dont know why i just got on
a huge kick. Well the love has always been there but not
this prime.

I think of mother love bone or like candlebox.

Suggestions to stay away from: Nirvana

Suggestions that are good: Alice, Pearl (classics IMO)

Help needed.

Apply Within!
Immediate interviews!

grunge revolushion to begin

badmotorfinger....hell yeah...i'd gladly go back in time and
listen to that album for the first time AGAIN

You forget:
Pretty Hate Machine

may have been round 90 rather than 91 but as you age it all
merges...

Although not grunge but roundabout the same time and
listened to unemployed gen-xers like moi.

There was a band on Sub Pop who were called the Night Kings
who I thought were great.

Jesus Lizard and Skullflower

Soundgarden really rocked me when I was younger, and I still
think really highly of them. They were even better than I
thought they were.

Fantastic Planet by Failure

I'm not sure if was meant to be a concept album or not, but
it always seemed that way to me - always had to listen to it
completely through to the end. It is definitely my
favourite of that sort of music.

omg you guys are great!!!

<3

I also came up with the Toadies, the ass ponys.

I also ended up finding an album called "louder than love"
by soundgarden. Didnt know they had stuff before
badmotorfinger. Its a good album.

Thanks guys again!

i think ultramega ok is by far the worst soundgarden album,
including their really pop stuff.

louder than love is quite cool, though.

oh, you may also like skin yard. they were a little
melodramatic, but in that grunge/heavy metal vibe.

I'll give it a shot.

I am surprised that louder than love isnt aswell known.
There are some real great tracks on it. I havent finished it
but "gun" is awesome!

locate. Neat name though :)

Gimme Indie Rock

just give me indie rock!
started back in ‘83 started seeing things a differently
and hardcore wasn’t doin’ it for me no more
started smoking pot thought things sounded better slow much
slower, heavier
black magic melody to sink this poseur’s soul
renew Stooges undeniably cool took a lesson from that drone
rock school
manipulate musicians halfway to school
getting loose with the Pussy Galore cracking jokes like a
Thurston Moore
peddle hopping like a Dinosaur and J
rock and roll genius ride the middle of the road milk that
sound, blow your load
shoot it further than you ever said it go, four stars in the
Rolling Stone
oooh sludge rock, that’s hard as harsh

just gimme indie rock!
it’s gone big come on indie rock just give me indie rock
take an inspiration from Husker Du it’s a new generation
of electric white boy blues
come on indie rock it’s gone big come on indie rock just
give me indie rock
breaking down the barriers like Sonic Youth
they got what they wanted maybe i can get what i want too

come on indie rock it’s gone big come on indie rock just
give me indie rock
time to knock the hard rock on it’s side
time to knock the shit right up a storm turn to amaze with
the indie sludge grunge!

aaah!
