Post-Grunge?

Re: Post-Grunge?
 

no offense to yourself .. but i personally think 'post grunge' is the death of good music and cast such a negative shadow on what was 'grunge' that i dont even listen to the good stuff anymore.

i cant tell the difference between creed, days of the new, silverchair, or any of those other bands mentioned (the ones i've heard)

i thought it took something decent and watered it down into pop music.

Here are a few recommendations I'm sure You'll enjoy.

Nelly Fertado
Milli Vanilli
M.C. Hammer
Right said Fred
Paula Abdul
Colour Me Bad
The New Kids on the Block
Sir Mix alot (I like big butts)
Shaggy
Chumba Wumba

............

I used to like Nickleback, but they've really been going downhill. I got into them around Silver Side Up, which I still think is a decent album. The Long Road was OK, but definatly a step down, and the few songs Ive heared off their new one [cant recall the title] are even worse.

EDIT - A bunch of typos

All those bands you listed are the most formulaic "paycheck" bands... Breaking Benjamins? Come on, man.

.......................

Isn't "post-grunge" just another term for nu-metal? Either way: :mad: :mad:

Yeah I consider it "Nu Crap Grunge Metal" :p

Bush is good (though they have nothing to do with either nu-metal or grunge), 3 Doors Down has a couple decent songs, I liked "Voodoo" by Godsmack, and for some reason I think Shinedown is okay

Thrice, Coheed and Cambria... bands that try something new.

Jesus..... I've never seen so many horrible bands in one thread. You guys must need to clean shit outta your ears a lot :p

I stopped listening to shit like that once Soundgarden cut off their hair, started dressing tidy and putting out terrible albums like Superunknown...... that and all the Eddie Vedder worship that asshole should've been the one with the shotgun in his fuckin' mouth.

ohhhhh the memories :) fun time to grow up in.

Love,
Johnny Grunge.

to me .. this is the progression...

Pearl Jam wanted to be Nirvana
Creed wanted to be Pearl JAm
all those other bands want to be Creed.


and i dont even like Nirvana that much.

i liked the initial flare up of grunge .. i liked the energy ,,,

but even bands like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains and Screaming Trees and most of the Seattle bands became unlistenable to me.

every goddamn song was ... quiet start, hard chorus, then quiet, then hard, then quiet, then hard, then quiet ,, song over.

i just found it to be boring and contrived.

I guess I'm far more a minneapolos guy (Replacements, drivin and cryin, soul asylum)

my wife is more into the Georgia thing (rem, etc) but i never got into that either.

Changed my life dude gave me a whole new perspective on music: playing and industry wise and I formed ideals that will stick with me forever.

I'm a Melvins (who would kick my ass for calling them grunge :) ) Dead Moon (if you could call 'em grunge - best band on the Hype movie anyways) and Mudhoney kinda guy. Fuckin' loved Nirvana too.

I got a lot more into the whole weirdo indie rock scene at the time with stuff like Pavement, Sebadoh and was a big fan of the mighty Sonic Youth and Fugazi.

Pearl Jam try to be Dead Moon a lot of the time (my ears are still recovering from their horrible cover of It's OK).

As much as I despise Courtney Love she hit it right on the button when she said "If Eddie Vedder's the spokesman for my generation..... I quit".

try as i did I couldnt get into mudhoney ... found them too jarring (a quality that most guys who can actually play instruments love :)

i had an early fugazi album i hated too (in on the thrill taker)
but since then I found another one i rather like.


Elvis ... i found about 8 Dead Moon albums (including EPs and live albums) on an mp3 newsgroup and downloaded everything.

in anticipation of your next question : i havent heard them yet .. i think i just sampled one song and liked it ...
I havent burned them to CD yet - when i do i'll bring them to work and give them a good listening to.

i'll list the titles when i bring them in ..

Good shit dude I meant to send you some but I lost your email awhile back but looks like you've sorted some out so thats cool.
But yeh flick me it again and I'll get some of that old school Flying Nun stuff to you (eventually haha I've got a cd for Marroe thats been sitting here for ages!).
Mudhoney are a weird one they've got some brilliant albums and some really average ones. The Superfuzz Bigmuff + Early Singles and Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge are two of the better ones. Their major label stuff just didn't quite hit the mark for me but there back on Sub Pop now and their last album had some really interesting shit on it (Blue Cheer meets Flipper kinda thing). Mark Arm fronted the reformed MC5 (DKT) http://www.dkt-mc5.com/

Yeh Fugazi's In On The Killtaker is one of the harder ones of theirs to get into abbrasive as hell. I love it tho being a headbanger kid. 13 Songs is a bit more easy going and most people I play their last one (The Argument) seem to fuckin' love it.

post grunge still sucks and I still haven't sent Marroe her CD.

Because I was drunk and doing a search for Dead Moon.
