Jahfin Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The Grateful Dead (Still) Didn't the Grateful Dead end in '95 when Garcia passed away? I know there have been several different permutations of the band since then but none have been called "the Grateful Dead". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I remember a colleague of mine had Suzanne Vega and The Human League on constant rotation, on his PC while he worked. Although I don't think they're the best bands from the nineties, I'm listening to them now, Suzanne Vega especially, to help me reconnect with the nineties. More than one friend at school had a Suzanne Vega album. I somehow think that if I listen to that, I'll be transported back to those years, early to mid-nineties. Interesting. I always think of Human League and Suzanne Vega as 80s artists. Did Human League release any albums in the 90s? Hard to believe the 90s are already 20 years ago. So here are the people I dug the most in the 90s, including some who began in the 80s but still carried on with good shit in the 90s. Robert Plant(both solo and the Page & Plant years) John Paul Jones Jane's Addiction Thelonious Monster Los Lobos Fishbone Mary's Danish Sonic Youth Pixies Dinosaur Jr. My Bloody Valentine Cocteau Twins Lush Galaxie 500 The Cure Talk Talk Depeche Mode Jesus and Mary Chain P.W.E.I.

But as more recordings of the band appeared I got really into them. So technically they weren't a band of the 90's. My fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Stone Temple Pilots was my all-time favorite band from the 90's. Stayed with them through thick and thin....saw them in concert many, many times and they never were disappointing....until 2008 when Scott didn't show up for the concert!

Excellent musician! Not only did I see her opening set, but she also played WITH Page & Plant during their set at the shows I saw. As for my list, haha...yeah, I probably left out a few.

Jahfin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yes of course. But as more recordings of the band appeared I got really into them. So technically they weren't a band of the 90's. My fault They were definitely a "band of the 90's", they just ended in '95. I was just curious because some people seem to lump all of the post Grateful Dead projects in with the Grateful Dead. To me, with no Jerry there's no Grateful Dead. I saw The Other Ones a couple of times on the Furthur Festival and I've seen The Dead but it just isn't the same. At least to me. As for the Spin Doctors, I loved some of the cuts off of Pocketful of Kryptonite. Shortly after that was released I saw them on the H.O.R.D.E. tour and can say without any problem that they are one of the very worst live bands I've ever seen.

greenman Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Yes you did - The Nymphs, and Alice in Chains. But Spiritualized?? Are you for real? Classic case of the emperor's new clothes. Not enough pedestrian Indie rock you you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfgTlbdZzTQ&feature=related Edited April 4, 2012 by greenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I love Pearl Jam. Unfortunately, they seem to skip North Carolina when they tour. Last time they played here was for the Yield tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Oh, I didn't check to see whether Pearl Jam made your list, but if not, good for you. They weren't there and I agree with your assessment. Not my cup of tea after the first three discs and I can't even listen to those anymore either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Actually that's one of theirs I do like. I have all their albums up to Amazing Grace, I just think they're mostly dead boring. Maybe I'd like them more if I was still a stoner. They've certainly dropped off a good deal since the 90's but both Lazer Guided Melodies and Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space are two of the best albums of the decade for me, Pure Phase isnt bad either. The only real criticism I'd have of them is that I think Spacemen 3 were better. Edited April 4, 2012 by greenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 This is one of my favorite albums of the 90s. Prine had released a couple records (Aimless Love, German Afternoons) in the mid 80s as imports only which made them pretty difficult to find. In fact, I didn't even know about them until years later. Thankfully, he threw us a bone with John Prine Live in '88 which reminded folks that he was still around. I wouldn't call The Missing Years a "comeback" record as Prine never truly went away but it was a reminder of just how great of an artist he still was.

dazedcat Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Little Village was a one off band thing in 1992, they did an album then a tour then broke up and went back to their solo careers. I never got a chance to see them live, I wish I did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyDZVrRqAQs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janvier Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Interesting. I always think of Human League and Suzanne Vega as 80s artists. Did Human League release any albums in the 90s? Now that you mention it, the Suzanne Vega song my friend was listening to was from a 1987 album while the Human League song was from 1981. I never noticed this! hmmmm... Nonetheless, I still maintain that Suzanne Vega is part of the spirit of the nineties, her songs where everywhere back in the early nineties at least in the university where I was studying at the time. On the other hand, cultural or historical periods do not correspond exactly with chronological timelines. As an example, the nineteenth century ended with the First World War; the second World War ended in 1989 with the downfall of the Berlin wall. I'm of the opinion that the nineties ended in 2001 with the demise of Enron. So, even if those Suzanne Vega songs were recorded in the late eighties, they embodied the values of that young generation living well into the nineties.

Mule The Zakk Wylde/ Ozzy songs that came out of the 90's were so outstanding, I think they should be heard as something totally apart from Ozzy's other collaborations.
