Pearl Jam is probably the best active rock band out there right now. If you haven't listened to them since the 90's, you owe it to yourself to give them another shot. They've actually gotten better over time and they are AMAZING live.
man don't get me started on them... i listened to youth and young manhood for the first time in years over the weekend and forgot how much that album rocks. aha shake was almost better... and then their descent into pop super stardom happened. i know that's what they were always set up to do but it doesn't make those first two albums any worse.
whatever dude. what's kurt done since nirvana broke up? /trolling still haven't listened to the montage of heck yet. is it any good?
Yeah, it's really weird, hehe, I think sometimes they don't acknowledge it because it'd bring it back up... I found out recently about it, but if you do a search there's multiple sources on it.
Exactly! Where are the anthems for our youth? What happened to music that meant something? The Who at the Astrodome, or Kiss at the Coliseum. Where is the "Misty Mountain Hop," where is the"Smoke on the Water", where is the "Iron Man" of today?
This seems a bit unfair. The reason those bands came along in the first place is because rock was already sucking, getting overly cheesy and silly. A lot of those bands resuscitated it for a couple of years. A world where 90s alternative/grunge music never existed is a world I don't want to live in.
For the impact that Nirvana had on music and how influential they were, man that music has not held up over time at all. Pearl Jam >>>>>>>>>>>>> Nirvana I can hardly sit through a Nirvana track nowadays, much less an album. I must be getting old.
It was fairly obvious that Grohl was Kobain's muse. Just listen to Nirvana's music with that in mind. A lot of things start to click.
In fairness, those were great times that can't be duplicated. Everything good in music has already been done. Some things just can't be improved upon. It's sort of like toilet paper.
Totally agree, particularly regarding those legendary rock bands who were mostly formed in the 60s. It's just that your choice of words is so ingenious, it made me wonder, if those bands are like the summit of the Mount Olympus of toilet papers that can't be duplicated or improved, who would be bidets in music. The ones outside or beyond rock and roll?
