Favorite Albums From The 90s

probably nirvana before they became popular. I remember listening to them on a friends cassette tape in the back of a camero and went out to get a copy of the tape straight away. Even tho i wasn't really into the grunge scene having just been one of the metal chicks. But as soon as they hit mainstream popularity i got nautious
and was over them.

The same way i was over metallica when they sold out. And when enter sandman was playing in every preppy 15 year olds brand new car their daddy bought them i never penned the bands name on my jacket sleeve again

[Psycho Circus]

Here's the thing.  I like Nirvana, really, I do.  But, the fact that for some reason, they became "THE BAND' of that timeframe, of that genre, eh.  Bugs me.  In retrospect, and some people may disagree, I honestly feel that bands like Alice in Chains (best of the grunge scene), as well as Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were much better than Nirvana.

Alice In Chains should be the ONLY band remembered from that period.

I think it's because they're the band we could officially say launched the grunge scene. They hit mainstream popularity in a big way. While some bands were already singing this type of music, it just hadn't caught on yet. People were still hanging on to the current rock of the times. After that came a slew of copycat bands with their look or sound - or if anything it gave bands of that genre a spotlight since a new type of music seemed to be launched.

To be honest i never got into the grunge scene, nirvana was probably one of the only bands of that genre during that time period I liked. I think i went a decade listening to classic rock and all that. Only now do I like some of the current bands and ironically because they have an 80's techno or punk feel

I was born at the beginning of the 90s so I wasn't able to pick these up when they were first released.  However, I got them and really like them now.
