If you had to choose between:
Nirvana, Nevermind
Smashing Pumpkins, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Hole, Live Through This
Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral
Celine Dion, Falling into You
Which would you pick and why?
I would pick Nirvana, Nevermind because Kurt Cobain was a great singer
and guitarist, and he used a lot of emotion in his songs.

You idiot. YOu cross-posted this to all the different ngs that you
nominated. The thing is, people are in those NGs BECAUSE THOSE ARE
THEIR FAVORITES, THEREFORE THEY WILL CHOOSE THEM!!! No one will ever
agree... Now we're going to have a huge thread-war that won't die.
Thanks a lot.

This is a tough question.....I'd have to go with NIN, Nirvana and
Smashing Pumpkins........and don't forget Marilyn Manson's "Portrait of
an American Family"......I might think it sucked, but it sure did change
things.

Who cares how much thinner you can drink? One time, back in Ancient

I would pick the fellow with the giant hands. I heard something about his
album collapsing into itself. It was something about old daisy-chained
printers and recursive dreaming. Then he was always so stiff that you could
laugh about what he'd do with a dome. It reminds me of the time I played an
organ backwards. Every moment was brittle popcorn.

It's all a question of perception isn't it, so take these remarks how
you will... but saying that the Smashing Pumpkins, Hole and Nine Inch
Nails are the same genre, and then presenting these seven as seven
separate genres seems ludicrous to me. Besides "alternative" being a
useless categorisation ("Black Hole Sun"?!?), you've selected seven
pop songs here, with the possible exception of LeAnn Rhimes. I don't
think you can categorise to this extent. My favorite albums of the
'90s so far would be:
"Ritual De Lo Habitual" - Jane's Addiction 1990
"Flood" - They Might Be Giants 1990
"Goo" - Sonic Youth 1990
"Achtung Baby" - U2 1991
"Nevermind" - Nirvana 1991
"Badmotorfinger" - Soundgarden 1991(?)
"BloodSugarSexMagic" - Red Hot Chili Peppers 1991
"This Is Not The Way Home" - The Cruel Sea 1992
"Dry" - P. J. Harvey 1992
"Check Your Head" - The Beastie Boys 1992
2nd album - Pearl Jam 1992(?)
"Copper Blue" - Sugar 1992
"Blue Lines" - Massive Attack 1992
"Debut" - Bjork 1993
"Ingenue" - k. d. lang 1993
"Together Alone" - Crowded House 1993
"Last Splash" - The Breeders 1993
"The Downward Spiral" - Nine Inch Nails 1994
"Live Through This" - Hole 1994
"Siamese Dream" - Smashing Pumpkins 1994
"So Tonight That I Might See" - Mazzy Star 1994
"Hi Fi Way" - You Am I 1995
"Garbage" - Garbage 1995
"Maxinquaye" - Tricky 1995
"Hourly, Daily" - You Am I 1996
"Odelay" - Beck 1996
"Tu Plang" - Regurgitator 1996
Anyone?

it's pretty hard to choose. did nevermind even come out in the 90s? i
thought it was in 89 but i might be wrong. yeah, probably. oh well, i
know i wouldn't pick hole... there are some good songs, but not all that
much talent. courtney love seems to have gone on to acting, which i
think think she is better at than songwriting. regretibly, i'm not very
familiar with either celine dion nor smashing pumpkins... i've heard the
pumpkins album once and celine dion never at all, so it's pretty much
between nevermind and nin... nin put out a great album, but it can't
really compare to nevermind. every song on nevermind is (in my own
personal opinion) memorable and great.... it also paved the road for
many popular bands today. nin certainly wasnt the first popular
industrial band, although they've gone out to a lot of different fans,
they haven't made industrial music popular the way nirvana made grunge
(or whatever kind of music you want to call it that they played)
popular. if you asked me to decide between in utero and broken, it would
have been a tougher choice.

Definitely. "Bleach" was '89, "Nevermind" was '91.

The best album of all times (sic) is ROD STEWART - ONE DAY YOUR FURNACE
WILL SPEAK IN DUTCH, BUT THEN AGAIN I DON'T EAT LEMONS ON WEDNESDAYS, YOU
KNOW!!!!!
I'd have to say that Phil Collins album featuring duets with Gloria
Estefan and Tesco Vee came in second.
>Bullshit......dont EEEEEVEN mention Beck.....I don't even know how the
>fuck Odelay even got nominated for anything but shittiest cd of the year
>award....
Cause people like you weren't aloud to vote. Thank God, because Beck's album
deserved all the accolades it got.
I wouldn't say it deserves ALL the accolades it got.. I stand by my
assertion that Mellow Gold is MUCH better. I certainly listen to it
more. Odelay is too light, too slick, too sequenced; there's no
"Truckdrivin Neighbors Downstairs" or "Whiskeyclone" on Odelay, and
"Minus" is nowhere near as good as "Mutherfuker".
But, yeah, Beck is still the man and all. His dancing skillz alone
prove that.
Sure, but there's no 'New Pollution' or 'Jackass' or 'Rockin The Catskills'
on Mellow Gold, either. Overall, sure it's a slicker production, but then
again...that's what Beck was after and it was a perfect affair (Beck and Dust
Bros).
PS - Anyone heard about The Good, The Bad and The Ugly yet??? It's a producer
supergroup featuring Mike Simpson (Dust Bros), Prince Paul (PM Dawn) and K.
Takemura (Dr. Octagon). There is a debut album coming ou in September.
Gotta go with Smashing Pumpkins but not MCIS, I'm still in love with
Gish. As far as making a "change" I have to say Nirvana. I don't care for
them but they did blow open the music scene. Marylin Masin is doing the
same, I think, right now.

It would be none of these. My personal choice would be:
1. Mariah Carey, Mariah Carey: Combine some of the greatest songs ever
written with the amazing singing talent of a 20 year old Mariah, and you
have the best album ever.
2. Madonna, Erotica : This is Madonna's at her artistic best:
adventurous, daring, innovative and sexy. You can never get tired of this
one
3. Celine Dion : D'eux. Although completely in French, this album
captures Celine's vocal dexterity as none of her English stuff has ever
had.
Now I want to ask you:
WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST NEW SOLO ARTIST OF THE 90'S ?
Toni Braxton
Mariah Carey
Celine Dion
Alanis Morissette
etc...
Neil Young or Vic Chesnutt
Matt P
Tara-You're kidding...right? You must be. Those soundtracks COMBINED
could still not compete with "Siamese Dream"!!!!!!

Easy. Aphex Twin.
Don't even mention pop posers like celine dion for best album!!! If I
chose, it'd be Nirvana:Nevermind in first, because that changed the
music scene so much, plus it had very emotionally deep songs, Lithium is
still my alltime favorite song. Second would be NIN's the Downward
Spiral, even though I think NIN scares me too much :p But the whole
story about the man going through the Downward Spiral in life as the
theme, making it a story, really proves that Reznor is a worthy artist.
THird would be Hole: Live Through this. I like it because it is a
sincere album, and it deals with true pain, not like a lot of bubble gum
alternative bands that we have today.
fouth out of them would be Siamese Dream.

IRON CLONE here putting in his two cents. Well you wanna know what the
coolest album of the 90's is? I'ts gotta be Siamese Dream all the way baby!
Think about it. It's got cool lyrics, cool guitaring, cool basing, cool
drumming, cool singing, a cool cover, cool song titles, cool cd art,and
cool hidden messages in the songs(Quiet, Hummer, Soma, and Spaceboy).
>Alanis Morissette: don't even mention her name in the same sentence with
>mariah, celine, toni, etc.
I agree. Alanis Morisette has in fact made some decent music.
That's more than you can say about the others....

I've always thought the best rock album is Nirvana -Nevermind
Naja
Best albums of the 90's:
Nirvana-Nevermind
Nirvana-In Utero
Tool-Aenima
Beastie Boys-Check Your Head
Beck-Odelay

Hey! It's the alternative rock Pain Derby! *Real* alternative music
deals with "true pain", as opposed to "pop posers" or "bubblegum
alternative". With this simple truth in your hearts, arranging albums
in objective order comes easy.
1. Nirvana - pretty obvious, really.
2. NIN - must be painful since its "scary", and since the album 'The
Downward Spiral' describes a man on, like, a downward spiral. Pretty
clever, that.
3. Hole - "deals with true pain": what greater recommendation?
4. Smathing Pumpkins - pain by association, at least.
It's looking bad for the other alterna-greats, though. We have to hope
Eddie Vedder loses his whole family in a horrific tractor accident, so
he can make sincere, painful records too. Failing that, a few nasty
paper cuts would be enough to push him up the ladder.

IRON CLONE will catch disease from fruit fly's while he spins a web of any
size. Actually I won't. I'm just here to throw in my two cents if it's
welcome and if it's not you can kiss my asphalt. Well you wanna know
coolest album of the ninties? No? Well I'm gonna tell you anyway. Hmm.
It's gonna be Siamese Dream all the way baby! Say that with gusto!
Well it's got cool guitaring, cool basing, cool drumming, cool singing,
cool layout and art, cool fonts, cool cd art, and above all cool hidden
messages. Coming in a close second is Mellon Collie and the Infinate
Sadness (there is a theme).
Type O Negative are goth. Still I don't have any reason to get
back to the early 90s. In fact the late 80s and early 90s probably
were the worst period in music, at least after the emerge of
Beatles. Thanks to people like Dodgy, Blur, Lightning Seeds and
Oasis (Many others too....) things are looking a lot better now.
AIR
I like your choices but I would like to see something like
the best band of 1990,1991,1992 and etc . It would definitely
show what direction music is going. I hope Goth Music dies down
>AIR
Hey, Air is a pretty damn good band. In fact there are alot of great sounds
coming out of France.
>I hope Goth Music dies down

Come again?? Goth music die down??? On which planet did it ever become
'huge'???
I don't really hear too many people discussing Lycia, London After Midnight,
Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Ascension, Christian Death or any other Goth
bands on these newsgroups. Are you sure you aren't mistaking Goth with
another genre???

how is marylin manson changing the music scene at all? There have always

just the first popular band of this kind, which is really just combining
two things which aren't very revolutionary.

My five personal favorite of the 1990's
(in no particular order)
1. Sebadoh - Bubble and Scrape
2. Urge Overkill - Saturation
3. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
4. Clutch - Clutch
5. The Cramps - Stay Sick!

I have to go with Chris on this, Siamese Dream (at least for the 90s) . .
don't think "Empire Records" is that great, and I haven't heard "Romeo
and Juliet" yet (not all of it), but compilation albums with many groups
tend not to have the continuity and flow that an album made by one band
has. I've always considered Nevermind to be more influential then
good. Just my 2 cents.

: have the best album ever.
: 2. Madonna, Erotica : This is Madonna's at her artistic best:

: Now I want to ask you:
: WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST NEW SOLO ARTIST OF THE 90'S ?
: Toni Braxton
: Mariah Carey
: Celine Dion
: Alanis Morissette
: etc...
The best album is "The spirit of wine" of Heroes del Silencio. I know you
have never heard about it. It's a shame only the albums that are sung in
English are seriously considered. This group is better than "The Doors",
and they haven't a single movie. Their lyrics are simply incredible. I
don't know if any group has done something better in English. I doubt it.

I would have to say my favorite is....none of the above. I think the late
Selena's album, "Dreaming of You," is the best album of the 90's. Also,
Mariah Carey's, "Music Box", was excellent.

If you looked at the newsgroups, you'd see that this thread has been
cross-posted all over the fucking shop, including to the alt.fan. and
alt.music groups of Carey, Dion, etc. Hence stuff like the above.
> All I see people posting about is Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins,
>Alanis, Spice Girls... .
Spice Girls, I agree, though you'll notice that most of the postings
are from people saying they suck. As for Nirvana and SP: you may not
think they're alternative (although 'Bleach' on release definitely
was, even by your definition) but most people who post to here
obviously think they are, and in order to avoid huge and pointless
arguments you should probably go along with this connotative meaning
of 'alternative'. You may want to read alt.music.independent for more
of the stuff you like reading about.
> What a load of shit this all is. Would I be told
>that my post is not relvant to this board if I mentioned a band that

>`alternative'. It certainly appears so.
If a band is alternative only until they get a gold or platinum album,
then this newsgroup would be impossible to use. Unless someone -
perhaps you, dear Sir - would care to post regular sales figures so we
know when exactly to stop discussing a band.
> Maybe it should be renamed
>alt.music.commercial or alt.music.narrow-minded. You should all go to a

Narrow-minded? Surely not. There are loads of excellent albums which
are released on CD only: most Japanese avant-rock and noise has either
incredibly limited (and therefore expensive) vinyl releases or none at
all. Ditto a lot of the European avant-garde. This music is as
alternative and underground as any you'd care to name, it's just that
the countries producing it don't seem to suffer from the vinyl
fetishism which affects so many British and American listeners.

And who's making a few bucks out of your quaint ideas of rebellion?
Some spliffhead with a sweet deal down at the pressing plant who knows
that there's a small but eternal market for any old shit as long as
it's suitably obscure and comes out on - swoon - vinyl?

Beck, Matthew Sweet, NIN and The Dave Matthews Band have all been in the
top 40 so make up your mind.
Best album of the 90's was Even As We Speak's "Feral Pop Ecstacy" on
Sarah records. All aspects of modern pop fully integrated into a
succulent whole.

Sarah records? get that impotent pop BS out of here. -not that pop as a
whole is just *bad* by my standards (hell, i totally love 0pb - how pop
are they?) but god...that's too light. i might as well listen to teenage
fanclub...which i'm sure you probably do, as all sarah record's fans
seem to..along with Halobit and the Softies and a lot of other bland,
unmoving, worthless music.
...not that there's anything WRONG with that.
