| Psychopath Registered: Jul. 00  | quote: Everything you said except about lollapaloza you could also insert another 80/90's band the PIXIES. Three of the four members of the band are still playing in bands today. Frank Black and the Catholics, The Breeders, The Martinis. The drummer somehow became a magician. In my opinion they had more of a influence on a hell of alot more bands in the 90's than Janes Addicion and were a hell of alot less known. A list of a few bands they influenced: Nirvana Toadies Tin Machine (yes David Bowies band) PJ Harvey Better Than Ezra Pavement Placebo Hole The Verve Pipe Foo Fighters House of Large Sizes Nada Surf Presidents of the United States of America Everclear Samiam The Get-up kids Local H Spoon Veruca Salt Enon Radiohead Baboon Weezer Matthew Good Band Eve 6 If there were a mid decade catagory I would give the PIXIES the title of best band of the Late 80's Early 90's. Their music single handedly dug the grave for hair band music and paved the way for Post Punk/Grunge/Alternative/Surf-a-billy space rock/Beach Boys meet Black Sabbath/Psychopathic balladry music and pioneered the soft-loud dynamic mixture sound of punk and pop with fractured lyrics. Not GnR (they were hair band music) or U2 (some good music but they couldn't influence a bird to fly). If I had to pick a solid band of the 90's with PIXIES influence it would have to be FOO FIGHTERS with Nirvana a close second.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | I don't like Korn that much either, but that's not the question at hands. [Insert grunge band here]is definative of the first half of the '90's, but the second half was ruled by Korn and their ilk. BoxOfWine will be attending the Mr. Brownstone Academy of Dance until 7/20, one more opening available. | ||||
