'looking back at it, us kids that grew up in the late 80's-early 90's had it so good'
Yeah some good bands around, besdie the one's you mentioned: No means No, Mudhoney Tad, big black, British hardcore (napalm death etc), Slayer/mealllica in their prime, house music, Public enemy, de la soul, NWA, ICE T etc
Stop talking Shit! You can't be what you were, so you better start being just who you are.
All this commentary about whatever happened to the "good ole' daze." Well, it never left as you can see from so many. "It will never be the same" I keep hearing people saying. If only they were right.
They and their peers got so good, so tight, through PRACTICE. Touring college towns 2000 miles at a shot in a junked out van. Endless warehouse days and nights thrashing on instruments. Minutemen, Huskers, DK, all part of the same thing.
What's everyone talking about "Ohhh it's so hard to find good music these days".
No it's not. Find out band name. Go on internet. Listen, enjoy, purchase album. You don't even need to go to a music store! The hell's everyone crying about?
@AaronMcGillicuddy Fugazi formed in 1987, Blink-182 in 1992. So, unless you're living going back in time, your statement is pretty curious. Besides Fugazi and Blink-182 sound similar as a thunder and a fart do.
Pumpkins, I disagree with you, most of the bands you're talking about weren't mainstream, and you had to look for them. The same today, it's just as if you were listening to the usual shit in the eighties and nineties!
There are still plenty of bands playing good music there and around, you just have to look for them, and that's great, you won't find kooks in the audience, looking like Lady gaga or I don't know what!
@bert666666 but what are they? I feel so out of touch. There's Sufjan Stevens, probably Sleigh Bells. Perhaps Minus the Bear? What's good out there now?
@bert666666 MTV played videos for most, if not all the bands listed by Pumpkins. Most toured often, so they weren't underground in the sense that no one knew who they were, nor were they mainstream in the sense of pop music, but any one who watched Post-Modern MTV or it's later incarnation 120 min., heard of & saw their videos. The music itself was played heavily on college radio stations across the country. Not much "searching" involved, whereas now, there's a deluge of garbage to sift through.
I'm so happy, I sent an email to Fugazimail a few months ago and yesterday I got a reply from Guy. He even apologized for the late reply. These guys are awesome beyond belief
I'm a high school student, and I think it's horrible that we have to work so hard to find good music like Fugazi, Minor Threat, or Minutemen. I'm frankly tired of auto-tuners and synthesizers and singers who aren't also writers. If anybody has any suggestions as to where to find good music, I'm all ears.
@ecgrace01 If you're from the West Coast, you can normally find Mike Watt playing live somewhere in southern California. I'm from the Delaware Valley and usually have to travel to NYC or Hoboken to find good live music.
@MUTE8able Steele was hands down the best sounding guitarist but his recordings arent even on any of the 3 Studio albums with Danzig. Besides Doyle played on Walk Among Us and Earth AD which are 2nd and 3rd best Mifits albums. Frach'e Coma plays on Static Age the best of the 3 in my opinion.
you can say that again if it werent for my parents i would be completey stuck with this shit they call pop and alternative. i have to freaking live in the past to get good music it sucks. consider yourself lucky
Ahh man, I sooo totally agree with you. If it weren't for my parents I would've been stuck with the garbage they call music of today. man I wish I was a kid in the 80s and 90s
@pumpkins667 Agreed. luckily some of those bands have kept it going for today's youth to enjoy though. i just recently saw Pavement and they were just as amazing as when I saw them back in '91.
There's some pretty awesome stuff today too. Arcade Fire, Coheed and Cambria, Mastodon, The Mars Volta, Neko Case, Sufjan Stevens, System of a Down, and The White Stripes are just a few of the greats that have come up this decade. There isn't really ever a bad year or decade for music, but sometimes you just really have to look for it.
@pumpkins667 I agree with you so much. I'm not even from that era, but I grew up as a young kid listening to that music on tv when I was like 8. A lot of the music you listed is great, but I wanted to add on to your list that I feel is my underrated favorite. Janes Addiction
@pumpkins667 and then theres weirdos like me and my friends who listen to black flag, minor threat, dino jr, fugazi, nirvana etc etc and jam music similar to this... we're gona start recording and trying to do shows soon with any luck, hopefully there's more kooks like us out there who will support heavy ass music with a heavy 90s influence and see us play and share our shit with their friends when we get some kind of recording to give away
well, it wasn't THAT good. You always have to look for the good shit- when I was in high school in the late 80's to early 90's, the radio was pumping Bell Biv Devoe, moribund Alice Cooper, late-stage glam metal-pop- and if we want to get really real, Garth Brooks was the prime mover of the era (at least in what are now called "red" states- and in the sizable red part of all the other states) . The bands you list were awesome, if you could find them. Keep yr weather eye open.
@pumpkins667 yeah i was there and you're right. there was a certain feeling, a feeling that we were riding a high and beautiful wave, and when it crashed, gen-y got bieber and gaga.
Hadn't rocked out to Fugazi in a while. One of my favourite bands.
