The reason critics love The Talking Heads is because they're nerdy and pseudo artsy and that makes critics feel comfortable. As for Martin's opinion of Steve Perry -- I will say this -- I'm not a huge Journy fan, and it's fine not to like someone's style, but to say he isn't a great singer is absurd. The guy has a one in a million voice.
This show is great. We need more of this. Everyone has their lists like these and they are all so different. It's great to hear these honest views without any bullshitting!
@@whenfatkillsfat803 Come on, pal. "Smuggler's Blues" is a fantastic tune. The whole "Allnighter" bar the awful track you mentioned is very listenable. Needless to say, Miami Vice's "You Belong to the City"... Great song!
You guys have no idea how much this video cheered me up this week. I have had a miserable week with everything going wrong it seamed. I laughed out loud many times during this video. Thanks!
For me it's U2. They seemed interesting up to "Unforgettable Fire." I Kept buying the albums until one day 20 years later I realized that each one was less memorable, or just not as electrifying. I guess you could say they had lost their edge. (Also saw the South Park episode about Bono. If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean, lol) Remember when Apple or some corporation force-downloaded the U2 album for free into everyone's library. ( 5 to 10 years ago. I forget which album) I don't remember any other time that you were FORCED to own a copy of someone's music.
Nice take. Their old stuff was edgier and more artistic. I thought they ran out of gas during the Pop Mart Tour, and then they rediscovered how to mail it in and make money.
U2 were one of those bands it seemed like we had to get embarrassed into saying anything good about... they had one or two songs that I can remember, and they weren't bad songs, but it just wasn't the sort of thing I ever listened to by choice, and I just can't bring myself to care that they exist. There - I said it! I don't care about U2, I don't get them, I won't be shamed any longer into pretending everyone needs to like them!!!! :D
I heard a story that the guy who owns the rights to 'Dead Flowers' by the ROlling Stones allowed them to use the song in the movie (without paying royalties) because of that line, as he hates the Eagles as well!
I know a RU-vid show is quality when two guys are ragging on a few of my favourite artists and not only am I finding it all thoroughly entertaining, sometimes I'm nodding along..
Indeed! I actually often disagree with Martin Popoff on a particular band or album, but he is still so interesting to listen to, even when we disagree, that I happily keep reading his work and listening to him!
Agreed. The term “so-in-so sucks” is the laziest term to describe a band or musician one doesn’t like, as if it’s a dictation that all in the world must agree to. These gentlemen realize and convey that they’re aware many love an artist that they don’t and it’s just a matter that it doesn’t click for them. No need to project a stance of being the only one who’s right. Well done.
The first three albums have their moments, but yikes, things go way down hill starting with New Jersey. After Slippery was a major hit, success went to Jon's head really fast.
I think Popoff's comment "maybe you had to be there" is true of all music. It's the stuff you grew up with between the ages of 12 and 20 that stays with you for life and anything outside of that will never hit you quite the same way.
I don't know about that. Some music that I loved between the ages of 12 and 20, I still love, and some of it, I don't. There is a lot of music that I love now, in my 40s, that I couldn't really get into between the ages of 12 and 20. I didn't get into much jazz, beyond Miles Davis and John Coltrane, until my 30s. I never liked much death metal or black metal until my 40s. I'm 47 now and still discovering some of the greatest music I've ever heard!
@@Scottlp2 Blackberry Smoke have *great full albums* that I will be listening to for *decades* to come, and any rock band should be proud of having written and recorded those albums. There is still great rock, hard rock, heavy metal, and progressive rock being made. It's just not in the mainstream, and all over the radio, in the U.S. anymore, but it's definitely out there.
London Calling was the first album I bought from a shop.. It was great to hear a punk band begin to combine other elements instead of the classic punk of the first two. Not many punk bands advanced
@@VyxenBlack yeah. I have no idea how bon jovi made success. They are horrible..... ha, that´s it. People love horrible music ( listen to all hits of the 2000s).
I love Patti Smith's "Horses" (especially), "Easter" and "Dream of Life". Dang - Prince, Big Star, Wilco, The Band and Dylan - whoa - those are crucial acts for me. Oh well, to each their own. Interesting discussion overall though. I love the way Martin says "draaama" too instead of drah-ma like we do down here below the 49th parallel.
I would like to thank you for introducing me to MAGMA. When you mentioned them, I paused your video and have been hooked on them ever since. Can't get enough! I will continue watching the rest of your list soon for other great bands you guys can't get into. hahaha! :)
I knew it. I knew some people would discover Magma with this very show and that, amongst them, some would first be intrigued before falling for the amazing uniqueness of their music.
@@kevinismawayoflife4660 One of the problems with Magma is that Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh is broadly considered as their signature album. Well..., happens to be one or the one I never got into. Beginners never should start discovering the Magma discography with MDC. Try the easier ones : Attahk and Merci. Although the latter one is more of an Offering album than it is a Magma's.
@@h.m.7218 I started with that live video that has Zombies as the second song. The first song just rolls into the second one. I have listened to that whole thing at least 10 times now. It's become Sacred Music to me now. Who are these Gods? lol!
Too funny!! Here they are, dogging bands and inadvertently turning people on to those very bands. Glad you discovered Magma. They're FANTASTIC....GENIUS!!
After Dio was booted from Rainbow he started a band with a couple of guys from Elf and a couple of the guys from Little Feat.....then he was asked to join Sabbath. Would have been interesting to hear those songs.
Can’t get on board with the Steve Perry comments. His voice is amazing, and he’s about as accurate and effortlessly consistent in his prime as any singer has been.
Great comment. With your analogy in mind, I offer: Dream Theater, Nightwish = Fine dining Maiden, Priest, Scorpions = Affordable steakhouse food Early Van Halen = A great flavorful pizza, full of fresh toppings KISS, Nugent, Aerosmith = french fries (steak fries, crinkle cut, tots, etc) Motley Crap, Poison, Cinderella, Bon Jovi = stale generic potato chips
I first heard of Journey when I heard their song Anyway you Want it. I loved the song and the vocals so I bought the album then regretted it because I can't stand Perry's voice. Later, through repeated listens, especially the Escape and Frontiers albums, I grew to appreciate his voice. His vocals are just so superb and works with certain songs that they are untouchable. Nobody covers their songs because every one of them is so inferior to Journey's original. A similar singer is Dream Theater's james LaBrie. I used to wish that they get another singer but with some of their songs, laBrie's vocals just work and I can't imagine anyone else singing it.
I saw Dream Theater at the Hollywood Palace when Images and Words was out. They blew me away live, other than LaBrie. LaBrie is a guy, not bad, not special...nothing like Bruce Dickinson or Ronnie James Dio...it's just that for the talent of the rest of the guys in the band, he's not in their league.
People don’t worship them as virtuoso band ,nobody. That’s why you are having a hard time understanding them, you are misguided. People love AC/DC because they are a straight up no nonsense rock band. In all my life, I’ve never heard a single fan refer to them as a virtuoso band.
I've been a huge fan of Kings X since I heard their debut in high school and to this day are still in my top 3 favorite all time bands. I'm proud of you Pete for giving them yet another chance and starting to like and appreciate them
They were My Other Favorite Band (favorite being R.E.M.) in the early 1990s. I still think that Rush and King's X would have been the perfect double bill.
When Kings X came out I thought they would rule the world. Their music was accessible but distinctive. It was different without being weird. They were a classic three-piece with great singing and playing and they were very visual. And they had the same manager as ZZ Top. I thought they would rule. Shows what I know.
OMG ripping into Talking Heads! So funny. I LOVE Talking Heads very much and I listen to all the obscure bits and pieces, so I actually enjoyed hearing them get torn to pieces. Really refreshing to hear this take! Appreciate the honesty. For me it's all about the different grooves they built up in the late 70s and then that spectacular big band in the Stop Making Sense show.
Stop Making Sense is insane. And let's remember that Adrian Belew was a touring member around the Remain In Light era, along w/ Bernie Worrel from P-Funk.
you might be surprised to know how many people like the illusions albums. I think they suck but Appetite is a sleaz-rock masterpiece. Lies was a great EP as well.
The reason why the Pretenders lost their sound after the second album was because James Honeyman-Scott had died from a cocaine overdose and Pete Farndon had died from a heroin overdose shortly after.
Some additional thoughts: Beach Boys, when Mike Love took over - turned into a purely nostalgia act playing off of cheesy Southern California stereotypes. Kokomo is atrocious. KISS - Without the makeup, they are nothing more than a decent bar band. Stories of how big of jerks Glenn Frey and Don Henley were: Glenn Frey once wanted to start a fight with Don Felder because Felder didn't want to play music for political purposes and when someone came up to him at a political event they were playing, he said "it wasn't my idea." Also he's been in lawsuits about royalties with Frey/Henley for a while now. Henley was quoted as saying "bands work better as dictatorships, and myself and Glenn (Frey) are the dictators."
kudos to pete for taking the time to listen to london calling. It sounds like he gave it more than a few spins. To me what makes that album great in particular is how eclectic the influences are. I think the primary influences on the album are: 50's rockabilly and early rock and roll, 50's r&b and maybe 60's/70's soul, classic era reggae, first generation punk and post-punk. I happen to love all those genres so it makes sense i would cotton to said album. I also really enjoy Strummer's voice, however unorthodox it is, and the political, rebellious lyrics of the songs.
For me it is the Foo fighters... i just don't get it. Sounds like an average punk rock band, with 3 times the crew on stage. The songs are like 90% very average Rock or pop-rock tunes. The Rockstar attitude feels way forced. And the constant "fanboy" feel in their shows is so tired. Oh and...can they stop trashing queen ?
Liked the Foo's early stuff - then they became boring as hell! So bland and mainstream, with no dynamics and weak guitar, just so disappointing, especially considering Dave Grohl is the friggin' leader of this band! How in the hell can he be satisfied putting out this dreck? I lose sleep thinking about Foo Fighters and how in the world are they so huge, their music is now aural NyQuil! C'mon Dave!
@@jimcoleman598 I think what i hate about this band is Dave. He is the nice guy of rock n roll. And though very good drummer, he is so over ratred IMO. The band has some killer musicians, but they seem to never shone to don't go over god Dave. They do have couple of great albums, and great songs, but i feel they are on the fringe of Spinal tap without the funny element. I really only give their success to their radio friendly format and friendly neighborhood frontman...
@@mck7646 True. I remember one time when the guitarist was pushing back on a fan who was complaining that the record company wasn't supporting their latest album (Faith Hope Love). Sometimes it's not the right time or the right sound. I still love these guys, regardless.
My list: U2, Springsteen, Steely Dan, REM, Bob Dylan, Journey, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Blink 182, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, The Doors, The Sex Pistols, The Dave Matthews Band, Maroon 5, & any death metal band.
The Doors were a fine psychedelic rock band - I have about a dozen of their songs on regular rotation in my playlist, and i've been hearing their music since I was a toddler in the '70s, they never seem to get old for me. I love death metal, too - lots of splendid stuff going on there, especially in some of those Florida acts (once you get over the vocals, Obituary has some damned heavy and crunchy riffs that are the equal of almost anything else in hard rock and heavy metal), and the melodic stuff that started appearing in places like Sweden, Finland, and Norway back in the '80s (the likes of Entombed, Dismember, At the Gates, Therion, Amorphis, Cemetary, and Tiamat could get rather beautiful!) I couldn't really complain about most of the rest of that list, though - could just be a matter of taste, but especially the likes of Springsteen, Dylan, Pearl Jam, Blink 182, Dave Matthews, and U2 do little or nothing for me. For example, with Sprinsteen, U2, or Bob Dylan, I feel like hearing their most famous songs once was pretty much all I needed, and anything after that is overkill. They don't replay well, at least in my book, and their deeper cuts did nothing for me. I suspect that Nine Inch Nails might grow on me if I gave them a chance: I loved their ambient soundtrack for the old Quake video game. And I rather liked Nirvana's unplugged album - most of those songs are on regular rotation in my playlist, even though I don't own anything else by Nirvana, and don't care to bother with almost any other grunge band. I'm not a fan of Marilyn Manson or The Sex Pistols at all, but I guess I can understand why their fans like them: I think I'd sooner roll with a proper electronic/industrial gothic metal act (say, Samael or Mortiis Era II) or The Ramones, though. REM and Journey are tough ones for me to judge: I've heard a song or two by REM that seem enjoyable enough, and one or two that irritate me, but it's not my style of music, and just not something I could get into... where REM works, I can appreciate that they work, but otherwise.... And, much the same with Journey: I've heard three or four songs from them that I like well enough, but it's just not close enough to my style for me to bother giving them any more effort than turning up the occasional hit when I'm forced to listen to the radio on a long car trip. I just don't have any interest in exploring their back catalogs at all. Still, it seems to me that a good Journey or REM song is probably better than anything else I'm likely to hear on the radio (and even then, I'll sooner take The Doors or my favorite death metal bands any day!)
Bands that others seem to love that i don't like at all are..... Megadeth: Dave's voice sounds like he's sitting on a toilet constipated. Motorhead: All their songs sound the same. The Eagles: Do i need to explain ? Stone Temple Pilots: Grunge posers. They started as a "Chili pepper" sounding band, then when Grunge exploded they changed their sound to get a record deal.
#1 The Clash Clash Clash #2 Patti Smith #3 Pearl Jam #4 Nirvana #5 Marilyn Manson #6 Poison #7 Bon Jovi #8 Def Leppard (after Pyro) #9 U2 #10 Bruce Springsteen 😁🎸🤘
WASP has always been one of my favorite bands. Live at the Lyceum is a fantastic concert video. Golgotha is a recent great album. No one can like everything. You have turned me on to a lot of great stuff.
@@xxxInternazionalexxx exactly - everythings written for maximum airplay - with no heart / soul / attitude - dave seems desperate to be as big as nirvana on his own - but will never be revered like them
There’s 3 that immediately come to mind that I wouldn’t say are bad bands but just don’t do anything for me for some reason, Def Leppard, Tool and Five Finger Death Punch.
4 if you include Captured. I always assumed that every serious music critic felt the same way. Escape is listenable and has a few good tracks; stoned in love and mother, father are good, but yea totally with you. Now I am assuming you mean the first 3 with Perry which was technically Journey's 4-6th. Journey sweet spot is Infinity, Evolution and Departure. Are those the ones you meant?
@@mattmiller2761 I've listened to either "Journey" or "Look Into the Future" and would've never known it was Journey. Jazz-like in spots, IIRC. Same with the earliest Scorpions stuff. Rather like both of them BECAUSE they were so different from the sounds that made both groups famous.
"Steve Perry is a novelty voice". Yup. A "male diva", as he's been described. He makes a fine contrast to Gregg Rollie on "Feeling That Way" or "Anytime", but I can't take it all day long. Also Steve Smith has to be the most simplistic, boring drummer ever. If they'd kept Dunbar, it would have been different.
A band I never got was Kiss. Yeah, they are adequate musicians, but their albums are very average hard rock. without their make-up and stage dramatics they would never have been noticed.
I've thought about this a lot because I hear what you're hearing. All I can come up with is that you had to be there and buy into the horror imagery and dramatics. It probably helped to be a teenage boy in the '70s.
@@saint.vitus.7775 you have a point there. Not brave really because of the hot takes being a thing to provoke comments but I do think that there are definitely so many records that are held up as classics that to my ears just do not merit the popular acclaim. Then again, I'm a person who thought the Screaming Trees record Invisible Lantern or Thin White Rope's Moonhead should be known by all and revered.
I respect Pete being honest. Could have easily caved with London Calling because Martin and Portnoy push it. This is how you can truly trust the content.
Yes, respect to Pete for trying. I do not love the voice of Joe or Paul. But the album is great. "Hateful" is so powerful, "The Card Cheat" - heartbreaking somehow. The melodies get stuck in your head for weeks. But well - we are all different.
All I know is whenever I see people write " The only band that matters "..I just think, wow, that is why I cancelled my subscription to Rolling Stone..The magazine that panned Rush .. Not just panned them, but pretty much ignored them ..Yet ,claimed that every band that nobody cares about is so fucking great..It is, and always has been a trendy ,snobby piece of shit rag, that is not even worthy of the bottom of the birdcage..
@@kiplambert64 Let's remain civil. We are all rock fans in the end. It's all about having fun, as we have so much more in common. And small differences in taste is just a feature, not a bug. No amount of cursing can take away what we love. Unless, of course, fighting about taste or the need to belong to a certain "tribe" is a way of life. I hope not. P.S. Both Rush and Clash are great in my eyes :) Love this show in any case.
And very often liking or disliking something is whether we allow ourselves the feeling of liking. Sometimes the walls in our heads are psychological, more than we even admit it ourselves. It's much more than music itself.
Kiss, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Frank Zappa, Springsteen (although other people covered his stuff really well Manfred Mann for example), Pearl Jam, Poison, Alice in Chains, Deftones, Foo Fighters, Patti Smith, Sweet, and a whole bunch of kiddie metal bands. But to each his or her own.
Okay, here goes -- a few you missed -- Prince -- most overrated musician in history. Steely Dan: Extremely skilled musicians. Mediocre singers. Their music sounds soulless and just doesn't hit me. Dream Theater: Killer chops, no songs. Springsteen: Middle class New Jersey guy who talks with a Tennessean accent who never had a job, known for his honesty and depiction of the blue collar man. Pink Floyd: Boring as hell. Iron Maiden after 7th Son: One of my all time favorite group are a shadow of their former selves.
My roommate in the USAF, played The Eagles, OVER & OVER & OVER... I said, “dude, is that the ONLY album you own?” He didn’t care. I learned the songs by-proxy. I was thinking them, humming them, etc. then, I’d hear them non-stop on ALL radio stations: light rock, classic rock, top 40 stations. My point: I DON’T EVER NEED TO HEAR THEM AGAIN. over saturation... The Eagles? Put their greatest hits on and take some ZzzzQuil. 😴 P.S. I’m with JPP on Pearl Jam. Vedder sounds like he’s got shit in his mouth. Hate that band.
Props for your Military service mate. I was in the U.S. Air Force also and it seemed like everyone, or their roommates/neighbors had the Eagles greatest hits records. I can’t tell you how many times you would hear Pearl Jam blasting out of someone’s stereo. Most of my service was done at a base in England. Good times for sure. Peace.
@@timematters800 I’m from Philly. Lol give me a break. It’s OUR team. ‘The’ Philadelphia Eagles. Plus. I was never much of a fan to know the literal band name.
I can’t speak on Radiohead, don’t know enough about their music; otherwise, I am with you almost 100%. They are all overrated, especially U2, though do enjoy 3 of their albums, War, Unforgettable Fire, and Achtung Baby
Each to there own Mark indeed I love early Talking Heads and a lot of US new wave Television Marquee Moon one of my top 10 favourite albums behind Heaven and Hell and Back in Black.
Agreed! I am also turned off by the fact that I can't point out that the cult of Dylan makes it hard to say I think he's an overrated nasally bore without being accused of trying to be arch and iconoclastic for effect. I am not. The Emperor wears no clothes as far as I'm concerned, and half the fawning fans who accuse me of heresy are simply jumping on the received wisdom bandwagon.
@@emdiar6588 LOL. Well said. I never could wrap my head around this cult following of his. They have him up there with Jefferson starship, Hendrix etc, I don't think so.
Well, I had my list ready, and you basically mentioned every single band I was thinking about, especially Bon Jovi, Radiohead and Foo Fighters. The only band I don't get and you guys didn't mention is the Rolling Stones, but I understand you like that band now.
The Drummers for Journey are legendary: Ainsley Dunbar to Steve Smith to Deen Castronovo. Also Bass players: Ross Valory to Randy Jackson back to Ross. Great Musicianship with Lead - Neal Schon and Keys - Jonathon Cain two of the best EVER! There's a whole lot to like.
@@stevendavid5370 Sure no doubt everyone in the group were/are great musicians on their own and i like them all but still Perry/Schon made Journey rocket to a different level, in my opinion. Cheers!
Like Martin said towards the end, the reason the first two Pretenders albums sound different/better is that they were the only two real Pretenders albums. James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon both died prior to the third album, so they've all been pretty much Chrissie Hynde solo albums since then.
Right! And I know this shouldn't matter, but listening to Chrissie in an interview is about as fun as watching paint dry. She has this very off-putting, marble-mouth, faint English accent thing going on which comes off phony ( yes, I know she lived there briefly...) with NOTHING interesting to say which doesn't speak very well of her persona, off-stage.
Yes David L, a very good band was assembled for Learning to Crawl and I think it's really an exceptional album. I would probably argue it's better than II, however i do think those first 2 albums had such a unique, particular sound that was the result of Farndon and especially Honeyman-Scott's brilliant, idiosyncratic guitar playing.
The same. The guys in the band all seem like good guys with good taste and I like Mike's tribute side projects but Dream Theater's music just doesn't click with me.
Bon Jovi isn't a band...it's Jon Bon with employees. Funny thing is that Blaze of Glory soundtrack is somewhat of a measterpiece as soundtracks go, I think. Later Bon Jovi sounds like Bruce Springsteen or something, another artist I can see why people worship, I never did...
The band for me that TONS of people love and I can't stand is Nirvana. I'm open to lots of different kinds of music, but I just don't get all the love for them.
Did we have to be on valium to enjoy them? 😂. I kid! I'm 41 years old and all my grade school friends LOVED Nirvana. I hated it. Is that band a "set and setting" type of band?
The productions are not great on Talking Heads albums? That’s the most ridiculous comment I’ve heard here lol. The production on their albums is some of the best, especially “Remain In Light”.
Yeah sometimes you just need to say "I dont like this band" and not try to find some technical reason to bolster your opinion. Especially if you love throwaway disposable music like the Ramones. And hair metal.
@@charlesrambeau519 I like The Ramones and The Dickies too, but they are not even in the same league as Talking Heads, all 4 of them are great musicians and Byrne was a great frontman, Pete’s reason for not liking them beyond their hits is precisely why I like them, being weird is what made them stand out amongst all the other stuff at the time, they certainly weren’t conventional and their weirdness wasn’t forced weirdness, it was genuine, they came up through the NYC music scene and played at CBGB’s often as did Blondie neither band were punk bands, they were doing their own things. Talking Heads experimented with different sounds on each album and each album is different from the other, that’s also what makes them such a great band. Funny too Pete doesn’t like “London Calling” by The Clash either. He’s just not a punk/post punk guy, but “London Calling” is probably The Clash’s most diverse album. I don’t like a lot of metal bands and some classic rock bands covered here either, I’ve never been a metal head, I find the music just meh, the singers pretty much sound the same to me as do the guitar tones, no connection to it. Nothing really stands out. Metal is just an old worn out genre, it has nothing else to offer. Talking Heads were a breath of fresh air during their heyday.
All I would say about Green Day is this. Live, they are one of the Best bands I've seen. However I saw them back in the nineties @the time of the Nimrod album. The following week I went to watch the Offspring at the same venue and they didn't do anything for me at all. It's all subjective innit!?
They totally are great bands, but Radiohead can get depressing after awhile and can get too melancholy, and I find myself looking for anything by them that is somewhat upbeat and energetic but that's hard to find with them except for that discotechy electronic rave dance type music on their later albums. and I don't like that stuff much. Pablo Honey, The Bends, and OK Computer is all I really like by them, and everything else is, meh.
Radiohead went meh after OK Computer. Kid A is not only overrated but also just slightly above average as a record. In Rainbows was the last record that deserved to be purchased.
Vocals are just vocals. There is more to music than vocals. Especially in death metal - most of the actual content of this music is what the instruments are doing.
I love it man Death is Progressive Death Metal and they are awesome. I cant stand the 2nd wave of Black Metal like Burzum, Mayhem and all that because of the f**king elitism and tryhards burning down churches. 1st wave of Black Metal is better than the 2nd wave of Black Metal. Without Venom there would be no Thrash Metal, Death Metal and Black Metal.
The thing is that Americans like Pete don't have much love for WASP and they think the same is in other countries too.There are bands that are loved in America and we don't care at all here in Europe.By the way musical taste is very subjective and relevant.The only thing is right about are their unimpressive lives
@@bubbadagger Here in Greece their lives are sold out everytime they have played although they shouldn't.(.not great live anymore)When I go to rock bars here it is one of the bands that get quite frequent play by djs along with maiden priest scorpions whitesnake and Manowar.Manowar are not American favourites either(though Americans) but here in Greece and Europe they headlined festivals with thousands.
1. Meatloaf 2. Springsteen 3. John Bone 4. WASP 5. Poison 6. Lou Reed 7. Velvet Underground 8. Cranberries 9. REM Hate 'em all! So glad you guys came clean and addressed the liking everything issue. Had to be done. You gotta slag what is worthy of slagging.
Wasp is still releasing albums just as good today as the 80s there like the harder hair bands u should try and give them another try wasp is still popular but no commercial play ...
Any grunge that isn’t Soundgarden or Alice In Chains. In fact, I know that they are considered grunge, but they will always be just 90s hard rock to me. Aside from a couple of their hits, I never understood why they were considered grunge.
I don't even think of those two as grunge. I think they just broke right around that time and being from the Northwest they were lumped in with the rest. and those two are the ones that I still go back to today. Forget the rest.
Never heard of MAGMA before this video (other than Dr. Evil) so listened as a joke, started with Trilogy and it kind of reminds me of Mr. Bungle! One of my favorite bands, I'm curious to see if this continues, must listen more! 🤯
