AIC and Soundgarden were more popular amongst my rock/metal friends as neither are grunge.
Soundgarden no, they are a metal band that softened
but AIC to my mind are the quintessential grunge act
Chris Cornell sure did, his sappy later stuff was unlistenable.

Jagged Little Pill
just enormous, and even the metal guys i knew had a copy
one of those albums that everyone owned, like Moby "Play"
I owned a cope of JLP.
Never owned any Moby
and this despite looking like a tanned Moby as well
He is a handsome bastard, I'll give him that

Ana de Amas does nothing for me.
I had to look her up - I think she is extremely pretty but lacks sexiness
@Bones @Tordah
You're weird.
(I assume there's a gif/meme/whatever for that, but... fuck that shit)Watch Knock Knock - and then tell me she "lacks sexiness".
For fuck's sake.Now - Angelina Jolie - does absolutely nothing for me. It gives me the shits whenever she's used as the "epitome of an attractive woman".
Yeah, looked her up with "knock knock" added, that's a lot better.
Knew her from Knives Out, where she obviously wasn't supposed to be hot (but rather pretty).Still think there is a weird line where too much beauty can reduce a woman's eroticism.

1 Every Fern thread will eventually turn into a discussion about the relative merits of a dozen or so 90s rock bands.
2 The most influential album of the 1990s wasn’t by any of the bands you’ve all been talking about, it was Jagged Little Pill.
3 There is no number 3You oughta know is a cracking tune.
Ironic is a massive mindfuck for me. Nothing she says is ironic, it's all just shithouse luck. So I wonder if the irony is in the song title being called ironic.
Rest is a bit meh for me, but I acknowledge it has it's place in history. My GF at the time absolutely worshipped the album so it does bring back a few memories.

Flea and Dave Navarro did a good job on that one.

Alanis still the star on it.

Heath Ledger is a massively overrated actor.
Classic case of someone dying young and being lauded far beyond his actual talent and achievements.
Hate to say it, but there's a bit of this with Kobe Bryant. He's top 12ish for me, people elevated him up to MJ/LeBron posthumously.

My hot takes:
- Tennis is overrated. If you need some indecipherable wank scoring system to create drama, then your game is shit.
- Car drivers are the bigger dickheads, not cyclists.
- Cats are awful. Dogs a bit better, but most people who own them indulge them too much.
- Fireworks are hugely overrated. People who film them are morons.
- Angela Rayner is unexpectedly attractive.
- Being able to ride a horse is a very underrated skill.
- Very few things are more satisfying than a well maintenened and freshly mown lawn (probably not a hot take really).
- Gavin & Stacey is the best sitcom ever made.
Also, agree that UK comedians once they do panel shows are on the downhill slide. And that Bob Mortimer + Would I Lie To You is a match made in heaven.

Used to love it, but now with time being sparse, as a sport to watch it's gone.

Hows the Lambo purchase going?
- Cats are awful. Dogs a bit better, but most people who own them indulge them too much.
Correct.
- Fireworks are hugely overrated. People who film them are morons.
Harsh
- Angela Rayner is unexpectedly attractive.
Good god. I do get your point of view, but all those talks of the legs crossing a few months back invoked some images I never want to see again
- Being able to ride a horse is a very underrated skill.
What do you call a deer with no eyes?
- Very few things are more satisfying than a well maintenened and freshly mown lawn (probably not a hot take really).
I pay people to do mine. That removes some of the satisfaction.
- Gavin & Stacey is the best sitcom ever made.

Never watched G & S, but do enjoy a British comedian panel show.
All in all, not a bad list but your Rayner one is just sick.

- Tennis is overrated. If you need some indecipherable wank scoring system to create drama, then your game is shit. This is actually extremely accurate
- Car drivers are the bigger dickheads, not cyclists. Not per capita they’re not. Cyclists are cocks.
- Cats are awful. Dogs a bit better, but most people who own them indulge them too much. Disagree, cats are cool, Dogs are needy and annoying.
- Fireworks are hugely overrated. People who film them are morons. Excellent call
- Angela Rayner is unexpectedly attractive. I don’t know who that is
- Being able to ride a horse is a very underrated skill. For sure
- Very few things are more satisfying than a well maintenened and freshly mown lawn (probably not a hot take really). I just trimmed the hedges, I don’t have a lawn but I know how you feel.
- Gavin & Stacey is the best sitcom ever made. Unfortunately you’ve undone any positive points from ones made above. I hate James Corden more than Ed Sheeran. Fat, talentless fluffybunny.
