U2<br /> 2. Nirvana<br /> 3. The Sundays<br /> 4. The Pixies - (80s-90s)</p> <p>Even though I went to high school and college in the 90s, I never *really* got into the grunge bands. I preferred and still prefer the 80s bands. But hubbie and I are going to see Pearl Jam in Oct. I remember when Achtung Baby came out and I consider it one of the best albums of all times. Also, I got a bloody nose at a Nirvana concert in New Orleans from being next to the stage, in the the mosh pit and someone's boot landing there. The Breeders opened for them and I like them a lot too. I also like a lot of the sweet girl voice singers (for lack of a better description) from the 90s like Tori Amos, The Sundays, Innocence Mission and Sarah McLachlan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands/page/2#post-90031 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:26:46 +0000 yublocka 90031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doh, think I just lost my last post in this thread.

(Nothing against classical; I adore performing it but not listening to it, for some reason). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89952 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:05:05 +0000 Dani 89952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Other than the ones that have been mentioned, I really enjoyed listening to Toad the Wet Sprocket and They Might Be Giants. Pearl Jam would be my top choice and then Dave Mathews Band...the rest gets too intertwined with different memories for me to pick out favorites but Toad and TMBG were with me during my freshman year of college and were always in my CD player. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89937 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 23:13:16 +0000 Dawn 89937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I remember the 90s! I don't remember anything of the 80s seeing as I was born in 1988.</p> <p>Favourite bands (from memory):</p> <p>Spice Girls! (I was 7 when they released their first single, I was entitled to bad taste then!)<br /> Backstreet Boys<br /> Boyzone (niva, they were Irish)<br /> Goo Goo Dolls<br /> Alanis Morrisette<br /> The Corrs<br /> Evanescense</p> <p>Favourite bands (now that I have some taste :-P)</p> <p>Radiohead<br /> Jeff Buckley<br /> Aimee Mann<br /> Soundgarden<br /> Blur<br /> Oasis </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89884 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 19:52:42 +0000 Angie 89884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to know I’m in good company, Vani. Others think I’m odd. </p> <p>Evanescense! High Five, Rute! They make my #5 for the 90’s era. Also would like to add that the 80’s bands I love still make music today and I am STILL all over their new albums – apart from Sting who went too jazzy–fied for my tastes. Much preferred him in The Police. </p> <p>It’s so interesting hearing your music preferences. Thanks for indulging me, ladies! The 70’s thread is on its way – for those of you who are old enough to remember :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89873 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 18:45:54 +0000 rute 89873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without any doubt.. my favorite is Evanescence,<br /> then.. Green Day and Likin park </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89872 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 18:44:42 +0000 Louise 89872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was a bit of a boyband freak in the 90's so top of the list would be Take That and backstreet boys and does anyone remember new kids on the block! i was a huge fan or were they the 80's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89836 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 05:50:09 +0000 Christie 89836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have many fun memories reading these lists! Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Greenday, Metallica ... remind me of college and meeting my husband since I had not listened to that genre before then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89812 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:36:01 +0000 hanna 89812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>also, i'm just gonna put it out there -- i never got into nirvana. like them, didn't go crazy over them the way everyone else seemed to. LOVE dave grohl as a foo fighter. can't think of him any other way...</p> <p>oh, and i forgot the stone temple pilots. and everclear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89811 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:34:50 +0000 hanna 89811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh no, niva, boyzone?? now i don't know if we can still be friends!</p> <p>LOL, just kidding -- if you'd said n'sync then we would really have been in trouble ;).</p> <p>maya, i do like ace of base and will belt out 'the sign' with the best of them -- they're just not quite a fav! although niva brought up the corrs and i remember LOVING them -- the sister who played the violin, whatever her name was, just seemed so elegant to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89797 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:17:12 +0000 Vani 89797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, High five! Absolutely the same for me. When I have to focus and totally block everything else out at work, I crank up the rock Gods. Which reminds me I need some good headphones, the whole world doesn't need to know I am rocking out to "Dude Looks Like a Lady" :-D</p> <p>Hanna, Maya, LOL I loved Ace of Base, years ago. I still feel good whenever I hear AoB playing somewhere. I also adored The Corrs. I just no longer voluntarily play their songs anymore, I've kind of branched into Instrumental Rock and Techno as a substitute for light hearted pop music. Doesn't mean I don't jam to the occasional Calle Ocho I listen to everything.</p> <p>And there was also a time when I LOVED BSB. 10 yrs ago I thought they were frickin' awesome. I knew the words to almost all their songs, my all time favourite being "We've got it goin' on".</p> <p>More fessing up? I always thought the Brit band Boyzone were better musicians, singers and songwriters than BSB. And then was Take That with the HOT Gary Barlow and the awesome Robbie Williams. Gary Barlow is beautiful, sigh...</p> <p>Ok, I've got to stop. I really can keep going on and on and on Oh, and I forgot Foo Fighters, completely. Never got into Weezer somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89796 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:15:48 +0000 Laura 89796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't seen anyone mention Enigma.</p> <p>Right Said Fred </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89792 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 01:48:26 +0000 Maya 89792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't feel too bad Hanna. It doesn't seem like anyone else is fessing up to Ace of Base, although I refuse to believe no one else loved and still loves them :p</p> <p>I forgot Oasis on my list. I think What's the Story Morning Glory was my first CD purchase, actually.</p> <p>We are Foo Fighters twins. And Weezer too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89791 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 01:43:43 +0000 hanna 89791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hands down: foo fighters.</p> <p>closely followed by: no doubt, oasis (did you hear that noel quit? SAD), coldplay, goo goo dolls, weezer, the eels. a lot of the pop-punk stuff that was "rebellious" for me at the time -- something corporate, fall out boy (before they blew up and got so huge), blink 182, the get up kids, etc. and (true confessions and because the boyband craze was such a huge part of the 90s) -- THE BACKSTREET BOYS.</p> <p>oh come on, i can't be alone. right...?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89709 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 15:36:36 +0000 Steph 89709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I loved 120 Minutes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89706 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:54:45 +0000 anne 89706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I am not like you Angie and Vani. I did enjoy the Indigo Girls. I also really like a song by the Lemonheads "I lied about being the outdoor type" - thought it was really funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89705 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:40:08 +0000 Angie 89705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Vani! Hard rock music for me is what soothing R&#38;B or classical is to others. The only other person I've met who feels the same way as we do is Greg. If we want to really relax, we put on hard rock music as loud as we can stand it so that we can take a breath and zone out. Does that make sense to you too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89686 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 12:32:09 +0000 Sihaya 89686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - something I didn't know about you! Now I have to get used to the image of you relaxing to hard rock :-)</p> <p>I'm having trouble keeping my decades straight! Of the names mentioned, top of my list: Nirvana, Tori Amos, Indigo Girls, some Radiohead and Pearl Jam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89671 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:24:33 +0000 Vani 89671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops double post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89670 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:11:58 +0000 Vani 89670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may or not be in the same order for me tomorrow!<br /> Bands:<br /> Nirvana<br /> Metallica (formed in the 80s but I feel they hit their stride in the late 80s, early 90s) / Apocalyptica<br /> Coldplay<br /> Red Hot Chilli Peppers<br /> Green Day<br /> Prodigy<br /> Smashing Pumpkins<br /> Fatboy Slim<br /> No Doubt<br /> Radiohead<br /> Oasis<br /> Goo Goo Dolls<br /> Massive Attack<br /> Morcheeba</p> <p>Solo Artists:<br /> George Michael<br /> Michael Jackson<br /> Sarah MacLachlan<br /> Alanis Morisette<br /> Sting (80s?)<br /> Jamiroquai</p> <p>OMG! I just realized I did not mention Eric Clapton in the 80s thread! Maybe if we do a 70s thread then.</p> <p>Angie, Cathy, I'm embarrassed to say I had not heard about Rush till last night (they were in concert in the movie I Love You, Man). I really liked their sound. Must pursue more.</p> <p>Michelle, I love The Tea Party! I didn't know they were a Canadian band. I discovered them thanks to Radio Paradise. I love RP.</p> <p>Angie, I love hard rock too. It is to me what classical music is supposed to be to many. If I made a playlist for my life and every activity in it, it would be all hard rock. Except of course when dancing is involved. Unless it is headbanging :-D. I kid, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89669 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:05:34 +0000 RoseandJoan 89669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deleted (technical problem). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89668 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:05:34 +0000 RoseandJoan 89668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deleted - technical problem </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89667 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:05:34 +0000 RoseandJoan 89667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now we're talking, I loved 90's music and turned 21 in 1999. University represented liberation for me and the music I listened to then still resonates today. my favourite three would be:<br /> 1) The Stone Roses - although technically the album was released in 1989.<br /> 2) Nirvana<br /> 3) Blur -the britpop of the 90 was such a fun time for the British music industry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89662 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 05:24:17 +0000 Maya 89662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 90's was my decade music-wise. So many bands to love. I used to sit near the radio tuned to k-rock and tape songs as they came on. Oddly, I don't love too many of them anymore, though I was wildly obsessed with Bush and Nirvana at various points in time. Also loved 311 (not the greatest band in the world but it was just nice to hear something happy and positive for a change). Weezer and Foo Fighters are among bands the few bands I continue to love. What else...Everclear, Garbage, No Doubt, Sugar Ray, Radiohead, Eels, Hole, Blind Melon, Gin Blossoms, Hum, Meat Puppets, Rage Against the Machine, STP...</p> <p>...and Ace of Base. I bought "The Sign" as little as 5 years ago from the $0.01 bin at the local record shop. It was a great day!</p> <p>Did anyone else like to watch Matt Pinfield on 120 minutes? I loved that show. I found so much great music that way, back when MTV was actually worth watching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89660 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:07:27 +0000 Angie 89660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you know that Dave Mathews is South African. Hah! </p> <p>Cathy – LOVE Rush! Such musicians. (I’m answering you on this thread). </p> <p>I love hard rock. I find that type of music very relaxing. I do not like soft, calm music at all. Music like that winds me up in an anxious way. Odd, but true. </p> <p>Red Hot Chili Peppers is #4 . Would LOVE to see them in concert. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89653 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:54:04 +0000 Chris 89653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favorites bridges 80's and 90's - U2. First big airplay in 80's though so I should have posted there. At a certain age, things get fuzzy lol.</p> <p>Other 90's bands:<br /> Nirvana. I lived in Olympia during beginning of grunge era when they were just one of many similar bands.<br /> Pearl Jam (although I appreciate more now than then)<br /> I did like Soundgarden too.</p> <p>Dave Matthews<br /> Blues Traveller<br /> The Spin Doctors</p> <p>Many of the "80's" bands stayed strong in next decade - REM, U2, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89627 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 01:19:40 +0000 Michelle 89627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my god, this was my era and I can hardly begin to scratch the surface!<br /> Dave Matthews Band and Radiohead may be tied for first. Both put on absolutely unbelievable live shows!<br /> Soundgarden comes ahead of Pearl Jam, but Ten is one of my favourite albums of all time.<br /> The Tea Party (fabulous Canadian band)<br /> Jeff Buckley<br /> Sarah McLachlan<br /> I adore Tori Amos now but didn't realize it until this decade<br /> And don't get me started on 90's dance music and what fun it was! :)<br /> Or some (not all) 90's r&#38;b! Ack I loved high school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favourite-90s-music-bands#post-89622 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 01:12:08 +0000 Steph 89622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nirvana<br /> Radiohead<br /> Dinosaur Jr</p> <p>I am tempted to add REM as well--I loved albums from both decades. Even if I prefer the '80s stuff a bit, some of their best stuff was from the '90s. </p>
