What are you listening to, right now................

Fuck me, have missed the whole rag on nirvana band wagon. A big favorite of mine but certainly not the best band of the 90s or best grunge outfit. Kurt's personal following has put another layer on the music side of things.
All those fuckers should be bowing down to the pixies imo
and I know most of them do! -

@rocky-rockbottom kinda hating you right now. While I've seen them all, that looked like a great show.
Metallica are fucking ace live.

Live and Counting Crows were constantly played when I was at uni. Personally, I find Counting Crows to infinitely worse than Live.
The Counting Crows opening for The Who in NZ in 2009 had to be one of the biggest mismatches in artists.

Remember when Bowie toured with Nine Inch Nails?

@Nepia @Paekakboyz this always comes up. The talk is around 90s Alternative music, people will say "yea man, i love Nirvana/Pumpkins/Pearl Jam" and some speccy fuckwit will go "of course, the Pixies are so much better, and without them none of the music you like would even exist" sniffs own fart smugly
-
@mariner4life No. What tour? A lot of the times it is because they are on the same label.
-
@bovidae for Bowie it was touring his Outside album, which is a pretty weird set of songs. It actually meshes reasonably well with NIN, and i think they sort of combined their acts a bit as well.
Not sure either sets of fans really embraced i though.

@mn5 I should have added that I didn't give a fuck. Smells like brain fluid...
Grunge wasn't my thing in the 1990s but I did like some songs from the other big 3. Of the bands you list AIC, Soundgarden and FNM are my favourites. I've seen all three live in recent years.
I've seen none so I am extremely jealous.
fucking what?
It's true.
Please don't hate me

I just like their music better than all three of those bands. By some margin. I'm trying to push a fart out with no luck at the moment.
-
@mariner4life don't jump out of the boat! I'm just getting the gaff ready!
But I really do rate the Pixies, not as the single source of all things awesome from the late 80's onward, but they did have a big influence on those emerging 90's bands.
Anytime you are getting anyone pinning 'everything' on a single band/musician you are looking at a pretty limited view on things.

It’s worth revisiting the story of the poor bastard who was kicked out of Nirvana and Soundgarden right before both hit the big time
https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/02/magazine/evermans-war.html
Imho Nirvana are as overrated as the Pixies , if Cobain hadn’t decorated the walls with his brains I’m sure he’d be as reviled as Axl Rose by now.

I've never been a Nirvana fan but I can remember exactly what I was doing at uni when I heard the news about Cobain.
Without clicking on the links I'll name 10 bands of that era who were better than Nirvana.
Stone Temple Pilots, Faith No More, Chillis, Alice in Chains, Metallica, Rage, Janes Addiction, GnR, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden.
Getting dead sure builds a reputation but in saying all that learning 'Smells like Teen spirit' on the axe got me laid so I guess I have Kurt to thank for that.
Every music discussion on here seems to eventually make it back to the bands you mention above.
I reckon Bleach (played at full volume) kicks the arse of any of them. Particularly the Chillis, cant stand their numerous versions of the same song about how they come from California.
Agree with M4L re the pixies, overrated art fag rock.

that might be a demographic thing really.
