Opinion noted. Personally I think all of those bands would've came out anyway.

I don't think they accomplished more than the Smiths.

I'd argue that the likes of Public Enemy & Run DMC did far more for 90s music than Nirvana ever did , they basically built up a whole new culture that by the end of the 90s was the biggest selling mainstream genre of music.

But i can't see anyone with a name like RapSucks agreeing with that.

Shoegaze started in the 80s as did noise rock. But that's beside the point. I'm not trying to say the 90s were a bad decade for music, I'm just trying to say I don't think it was any better than the 80s. Both had amazing underground music, both had lame pop crap.

How is it a stretch? Alanis Morissette was a minor pop star who toured with Vanilla Ice, then grunge broke and she completely changed her sound to the "angsty" rock that she's now known for.

I love that album, I can't believe anyone hates it...it's like a film buff saying they hated the godfather, it's just not right
