C&C Music Factory

Was that the band who caught flak for having a good looking woman lip syncing in their video instead of showing the actual fat singer?

Billy Corgan: ‘Shapeshifting Reptilians’ Run The ‘Satanic’ Music Industry

Some of the more popular bands I can't stand like Foo Fighters, Jane's addiction and Pearl Jam

 

Nirvana is hands down my favorite

I loved sound garden, but Cornell live was disappointing. I saw him with NiN and NiN blew Cornell away

I'm going with this one

... though, I always thought it was 'nice shirt.'

A side question here. I always wondered what you would classify Red Hot Chili Peppers as?

RHCP started as a punk/funk rock... Less punk over the years more rock with an alternative bend as they aged, imo

[Dammit Im Mad 1]

Fock Grunge! Didn't most of these cats off themselves because they (and their "music") were so depressed? Nice 2 year run....

[kutulu 1,545]

Grunge is a pretty stupid musically description imo, was almost more of a fashion term I thought...lot of differences between most of the major bands just all were in the same incubator to start

[porkbutt 861]

so were talking about like 4 bands here? pearl jam, nirvana, alice in chains, and soundgarden? id say smashing pumpkins is grunge.

[kutulu 1,545]

That are definitely the big four of that scene but not the only ones. I wouldn't put SPs in there myself. Gotta be from the Pacific Northwest to make the cut imo

oh yeah STP

They got tagged with that PJ clone out of the gate but I don't really agree especially as they got more albums under their belt. Great band though.

Agreed. Too bad Scott Weiland couldn't keep clean.
