Classic Music from the Grunge Period

Well said, fucking proper grunge bands like Lemon heads are getting lost in the dross :smile:

Good man Harry. 2 classics. 25 years old and still fresh.

Went to see these in Henrys way back. Nirvana were supporting. Don’t remember them that particularly well as we were not really there for them. But they were thrashy and it was different.

@Turenne watches too much docs on music. I have seen them all, the bands themselves hate the word grunge, say its influenced by bands 10 years previous etc. But is it not all about the movement? When it makes its way to the world?

Anyway its simply, music i like, music i don’t like.
I could listen to PJ, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Curtis Mayfield, The Roots all in one sitting.

I’ve never watched a documentary on music in my life but ok mate, if you say so.

One of the 10k minimum that squeezed into Henry’s back in 91 :smiley:

A mate of mine at the time was a huge sonic youth fan and won a competition on MTV to travel to Europe somewhere and hang out with them, I cant recall the details but they were great lads (and lassies) apparently.

I was actually very young but my cousin DJ’d in there occassionally. I had not drank yet.

I always get “you were yeah…” line. Don’t say it hardly anymore.

Was your cousin a dance or indie dj?

More indie but actually did a bit of dance down the road i think, might even still. Drugs had him dj’ing rather than the other way around.

These guys can’t really be labelled a grunge era band - they were around way before then.They were however from Washington and influenced a lot of bands on the Seattle music scene, who were subsequently members of the grunge movement.

Great fucking band! They’re more recent stuff with Jello Biafra and Adam Jones is brilliant.
