Excuse me, but have you ever heard the song "Would"? Maybe I just have soft spot for them, I dunno.

my mom used to have all of their albums before my stepdad took all her cds when they got divorced, so i have heard almost every alice in chains song (or at least every song on those albums) many many times in my life.

i, also, used to barback in florida and "would" and "rooster" were some of the favorites of the customers on the jukebox.

i haven't heard an alice in chains song, probably in about 14 or 15 years, i liked a few of the songs off that album dirt.

Oh wow, I didn't seethat one coming, *cough*, Good album, shouldn't be number one though.

[loubarret]

Should be.

alice in chains are appalling..... now its been said!

[Jeremy]

I used to be real into AIC once upon a time, many, many, MANY moons ago, then I started to get more and more into indie rock and that stuff, and then one day I tried listening to them again and it was an awfully tough listen. Haven't held up well to me at all, a good majority of it even made me cringe a little.... They still do have a few good songs but those are now few and far between.

i still love alice in chains, don't listen to them regularly, but dirt is a fucking great album.

^You resurrected this thread just to dump on Bjork?

Did she rape you or something???

[Everyneurotic]

i wish she raped me!! she's quite good looking and it's the only way ladyneurotic would allow me to have sex with her.

no, but that guy who said this list was stupid because it didn't have björk on it kinda ticked me off.

still, i think she's worthless artistically, except for the chorus of "army of me".

Did you ever hear Alec Empire's remix of Bachelorette? I think that's my favourite remix ever.

[Glice]

I don't use the word 'prideful'. What a hideous word!

i congratulate you on your accomplishment of being old.

i was going to give regards to your parents for their nice work but i figured it out the hard work was all yours.

and yes, "prideful" really brings my annoyingness levels through the roof.

I only just qualify for remembering the 90s in my late teens, but I was 11 or 12 when Kurt died. I didn't really start listening to stuff that I can still bear until I was 17 or so ('99) so I'm in the worst position of faintly remembering some stuff but not really being there with a developed set of faculties.

How many people here really did come of age in the '90s? Few, I should imagine.

i missed this thread... i haven't been here in a while. but i just had to represent with the other oldsters... i grew up in the 80s, graduated high school in 1992.

it's weird that Check Your Head isn't on the list. the beastie boys had the most amazing setlist on that tour. they refused to play anything from License to Ill, didn't even have a dj, just showed up with instruments and a keboard player and tore through a set that went back and forth between punk and funk, following a Minor Threat cover with a Sly and the Family Stone cover. also, although neither of them were good by any strech of the imagination that 12" Bikini Kill/Huggy Bear was so fucking influential it should have been on the list. but riot grrrl gets no love nowadays...

probably only floatingslowly would agree, but by far the most glaring omission: where's the industrial? i mean i know that by 1994 it had turned into crappy metal, but the glory days of electronic industrial...

1990:
meat beat manifesto - 99%
my life with the thrill kill kult - confessions of a knife

1991:
pigface - gub
front 242 - tyranny for you

1992:
frontline assembly - tactical neural implant
kmfdm - money


all six of these are flawless albums and far superior to anything Atari Teenage Riot ever turned out. just sayin....

...yes. i was repeating the word to emphasize it's awkwardness. and IRL i'm not actually proud of being old. i tell people i'm 26 and get believed so often, i sometimes have to think for a second about my actual age... but you kids on the internets give me so many oppurtunities to say "stfu i was there" that i can't resist.

it was skinny puppy and and all the silly goth fan kids that wore black lipstick... i don't remember a single member of any of those bands ever coming out on stage with makeup. goofy hair, mirrorshades, and all black combat dress, yes. makeup was for goths, not industrial kids.

relentless industrial beats:

 

 

relentless goth moping:

 

 

no industrial kid wanted to be a vampire... they all wanted to be cyborgs. like floating.

Did you actually just slag of Atari Teenage Riot? Madness, I tells you. They remain, for me, one of the most conceptually perfect bands (even if they didn't seriously muster more than 5 good tunes in their exixtence). Start the riot!!! pwns all.
