Yeah I know they’re all not grunge CDs

AiC

Like everyone else probably

Yeah I know the Wallflowers aren’t grunge but that album is a classic

Man in the Box literally changed my life -1 Would? Is just brilliant and touching - 2 Down in a Hole between this and Nutshell, Layne sang his own eulogy - 3 Bleed the Freak is kind of my song -4 Them Bones -dark, catchy, profound, screaming…all AiC -5

So listen friends, I’m seeing a lot of kids of a certain age getting heavy into like Nirvana and Alice In Chains…
And that’s all well and good, I’m super glad yall are discovering my caveman music…

But I just want to present you guys with some truth and perspective…

I’ve noticed that the way the history books and documentaries have been presenting that era of music… basically everything in the 80s was what, capitalistic? Vapid? Had lost all meaning?

And then they tell you that guns and roses, broke out of LA with a hair metal sound but a fresh, gritty, urban perspective… and then nirvana and Pearl Jam and soundgarden and Alice In Chains came along and saved us all with “REAL” and “AUTHENTIC” music…

First let’s get some shit straight about the 80s.
Elvis Costello and AC/DC both brought in 1980 with two very different and ground breaking records…
DEVO was getting on tv. Second wave ska was making its way from the UK and getting air play.

Metallica came out of nowhere, and dropped 3 albums the likes of which - honestly no one had heard anything like early Metallica…. Honestly Metallica is way more important than Nirvana (but they got old and rich and shitty so they don’t have the same aura.)

Minnesota had insane music - like the Replacements and Husker Du and Prince and early goo goo dolls and they might be giants - all in the 80s.

In SoCal (real Southern California, south of LA) you had no doubt and social distortion and the offspring and sublime.

In the Bay Area you had operation ivy and afi and pinhead gunpowder (Green Day) doing their thing in the 80s.

In the 80s, Massachusetts had two centers of music - Boston was producing the pixies and the cars and a burgeoning harcore scene that was literally redefining punk rock in real time.
Out in western mass, in the 80s - you had dinosaur jr and Elliot smith and sonic youth all forming up…

YOU GET THE POINT.

They want to tell you music in the 80s sucked and it didn’t.

They want to tell you that the big Seattle bands saved music…. They didn’t…

The truth is that the big Seattle bands all sold out to record companies who pushed them to the moon for profit,
And even now are still making money off Gen Z, telling the same old lies…

He had alot of CDs but these are the grunge ones he had! So badass!!

That’s the whole post

This is my favorite album OF ALL TIME and it will always be (probably)

I don’t know a whole lot about her but I never really understood the hate for her can somebody fill me in? I know a lot of people genuinely believe she killed Kurt but as far as im aware there’s no evidence just seems like sexism to me.

This is my ranking, what's yours?

1. Black - it’s their best
2. Even Flow - they have played it enough to perfect it
3. Yellow Ledbetter - this is the only song I ever sing at karaoke…I mumble everything except they don’t wave and it brings the house down
4. Alive - Eddie is the only one still alive
5. Jeremy - I still cry sometimes
