I also saw it recently. Not bad. Really went down hill once Kate McKinnon came into it and I like Kate McKinnon. Also ES won the faceoff!
September 17, 20213 yr comment_522354 Not sure if anyone's checked this out yet, but my fave Hip track got even better...

September 26, 20213 yr comment_524945 For those of us who came of age in the 90s..... It was everything. Almost as important as The Hip.

I'll never forget the first time I heard Nevermind at a party and I was like "what, this stuff is popular now?" Everything changed after that. Edited September 26, 20213 yr by johnzo

Soundgarden for me too. 1991 was an incredible year in music.
September 26, 20213 yr comment_524952 I will be in the minority here but I hated all those so called grunge bands and the whole grunge era, force my genre underground where is still thrived but was never the same, one exception I do own 2 Alice in Chains cd's.

Got that from the old BMG Music Club 12 Cd's for a buck program... Ha ha. Spoonman and Black Hole Sun were such a big deal. I eventually discovered Alice In Chains and PJ... All just so so so important for us 90s kids. Again, not as important as The Hip, but it's up there. Green Day and Offspring worth mentioning, too... A really big deal.

September 26, 20213 yr comment_524976 My music world changed prior to Teen Spirit: I did enjoy the stuff coming out of the PNW though but Nirvana wasn't my preferred band. Soundgarden and Pearl Jam were my favorites with Alice in Chains also being in the mix.
September 26, 20213 yr comment_524982 Pearl Jam - Black. Sound Garden - Room a Thousand Years Wide. White Zombie - Starface RATM - Killing in the Name of. All mind blowing during my mid teens...
September 26, 20213 yr comment_524987 I would probably put Tragically Hip - Trouble At The Henhouse, Offspring - Smash, and Green Day - Dookie as the most important albums in my high school. Honourable mention to OLP - Naveed and Clumsy and The Wallflowers - Bringing Down The Horse....

With the longest song title ever - "Several species of small furry animals gathered togeather in a cave and grooving with a Pict " Losing Syd ( from the band ) definatly impacted the band and it's music and was an inspiration for multiple songs.

September 27, 20213 yr comment_525024 3 hours ago, FrostyWinnipeg said: Spice Girls FTW! How did you know? Actually I am the same age as Johnzo, but grunge in general never did anything for me. I did like Pearl Jam, but I didn’t get the whole “angst of a generation” vibe, and I thought the “Kurt Cobain as the troubled messiah” narrative was weird. Plus I could never understand what his lyrics were. I was more influenced by the late 80’s, and more into the top 40 stuff rather than alternative rock. U2 was obviously big for me.
September 27, 20213 yr comment_525026 I've never understood the crazy fandom that exists for U2. I mean I don't mind them... The main stuff off Joshua Tree is obviously important.... But other than that... Eh. It's the same with bands like Coldplay and Radiohead.... I will never understand it. Edited September 27, 20213 yr by Noeller
September 27, 20213 yr comment_525029 Honestly, U2 has not put anything at all of worth out since 2004, and Bono’s preaching actually detracts from their music for me, but they do know how to put on a concert. Coldplay is in the same vein. Again it is all personal choice, I don’t need edgy defiance in my band, just give me an enjoyable tune. I don’t need a band to be more than that to appeal to me. And Fully Completely was my Hip album of choice. Edited September 27, 20213 yr by TrueBlue4ever
