[QUOTE=âmickee321, post: 1107733, member: 367â]@TheUlteriorMotive is bang on here, that nirvana unplugged album is mindnumbingly depressing, a 2am house party killer, fellas sat around with serious old heads on them⌠That and Play by Moby are 2 house party albums that i remember from my days but the parties i attended with the Moby soundtrack always ended better or had more craic
some or most of their stuff was just an awful racket, when i was 16-18 everyone was listening to it but i remember buying something by Josh Wink when everyone was wearing nirvana t shirts, In Utero, yeah i remember that, just loud trashy old noise as Iggy Pop would sayâŚ
shockingly overated in my opinion, that whole seattle grunge thing was a blimp in music history, Pearl Jam, saw then in Millstreet in 96 before they released No Code⌠Spin The Black Circle on Vitalogy, awful shit, Black, Jeremy great songs allright.
Im happy that i progessed to dance music pretty quick, think âeverything is wrongâ by Moby when he played Feile 95 in the park was my moment⌠The track Feeling so real blew me away, it still gives me a massive rush actually, Orbital playing Halycon on the same night⌠fucking hell, i was 16 , i couldnt believe fellas wore long coats and listended to Nirvana⌠I loved Blur allright in my Britpop flirtation but then my my early 20âs Faithess came along and that was that⌠possibly the most amazing thing i have ever seen live, when Come One is played live you see joy flow over a crowd, even sober⌠Same with fellas raving about david gray, he had that white ladder shit in 2000, awful old bollux⌠ud be in a club in amsterdam with Armin Van Buuren⌠and the place going bananas
fuck it[/QUOTE]
I wouldnt agree with all of it but its an honest assessment.
Unplugged was muck, absolute shite. However Nevermind, In Utero and Bleach were great albums. They werent fun albums by any means but the euphoria when Nirvana was played and you hit the floor and hopped yourself off anything that moved was unreal. Lads in Suicidal Tendancies t-shirts with nothing to lose firing themselves at you as you went low with the shoulder and buried the self loathing fuckers hard as you could, maybe get a sneaky elbow into the odd tracker knacker who was brave enough to enter the arena. If you didnt get a shift there was always smells like teen spirit to recue you and you could take out the frustration, hammering the floor with your docs.
But things changed⌠If you listened to this stuff non stop youâd blow a hole your head eventually. Coincidentially, I bought the Josh Wink - Higher state single around the summer of 1995, I did a few Saturday nights in Dublin that summer with the Klare lads who were big Hyrdo fans and we ended up in a place called Columbia Mills one night⌠Wow, never seen anything like it. I was 17 and a roaster of epic proportions but I was learning fast. A 6 week stint in Edinburgh the following year firmed things up. Went to see Bedrock there one night in some warehourse type spot, jesusâŚ
