mhkEMAW @mhkEMAW
@SLKECK at some point I'd appreciate your Top 10 90's bands list
4:11 PM - 9 Apr 2013
:impatient:
:sadpeek:
8manpick's top 90's bands would be much more beneficial for you to know than mine. Spoiler alert: He has Red Hot Chili Peppers at #1.
stone temple pilots and 3eb at #2 and #3
-
The eff? 2 is way off. I'll come up with a list this afternoon
-
The eff? 2 is way off. I'll come up with a list this afternoon
actually i think stevesie and i are doing a pretty good job of coming up with the list by ourselves.
#4 is seal. tune in at 1:17 to hear numero cinco, folks!
-

I'm looking forward to comparing this with my top 10.
-
8man just texted me his #5. Tune in at 1:17 to find out what it is!
-
Text I received from 8manpick not more than 10 minutes ago:
"I'd have to put Ace of Base at #5. When's the last time you didn't have "The Sign" stuck in your head? Seriously, I wake up every morning singing that song. It's peppy and just impossible to have a bad day when you're humming it non-stop for 24 hours. Here's the thing though: that's not even the best song on that album! It might even be 4th best. So yeah, it's hard to ignore Ace of Base."
-
hey 8manpick, i owned that cd in grade school and i agree with all of your statements.
-
alright folks, #6 is in. 8man just myspaced me.
#6 is... drumroll... THE GOO GOO DOLLS
i should have known, though, because "black balloon" is one of the three songs on his myspace. not a whole lot of ambiguity here, folks.
back to you, stevesie60, for lucky number 7!
-
Well as you've probably guessed, 8manpick is no longer responding to my text messages or phone calls. Probably too busy trying to solidify the top 10. Lucky for me, and all of you readers, we've had many discussions about his favorite 90's bands so I feel very confident winging number 7.
8manpick can be a very angry individual when he wants to be, hence the rugby obsession. But I bet you don't know what he listens to when he needs to raise his anger level, do you? Well I do. Actual quote from 8manpick: Stevesie, today I'm just feeling like a freak on a leash.
That's right, folks. Comin' in hot at #7 is Korn. 8manpick has told me multiple times that "Lowrider" by Korn is the best cover of all time. He has also drunkenly mentioned that his motivation to someday be awesome at bass is not because of Flea, but because of Fieldy from Korn. The more you know, I guess.
-
does anyone have any thoughts on the top 10 list as compiled by 8manpick so far?

I'm glad we haven't seen Nirvana yet.

alright, good. moving on to #8 on the countdown to 8manpicks top 10 bands of the 1990's!!
band #8 holds a special place in 8manpicks heart. in the 10th grade, 8mp lost his virginity in the back seat of his moms 1992 plymouth voyager to "quit playin' games with my heart."
thats right, folks, behind door #8 are the frosted tips that can only belong to, THE BACKSTREET BOYS!

#9 kind of gets in on principle alone. 8manpick, whether sober, drunk, trippin' or high will tell you the hands down best song of the 90's is "Tubthumpin'" by Chumbawumba. He literally hates every other song by them, but the fact that they could turn out a hit song like "Tubthumpin" gets them on the list.

Rumblings on twitter today lead me to believe we need to start a new thread for 8man's top 90's bands. Mods, can we get this done or are you too busy planning how to shutdown goEMAW again so you can blame it on hawkhost?
-
weve had a pretty great run here announcing the top 9 out of 10 bands from 1990-1999, but its time to shake things up a bit. for #10, we have a guest announcer.
please welcome to the stage... SABINATION!
-
so far 8manpicks list is 10X better than stevesies list.
-
Harvey Danger on the list? :pray:
-
this 8man guy knows his stuff :excited:
-
i talked music for at least 3 hours on saturday night and he said some of the same exact stuff that
-
i really do like Ace of Base and The Sign is probably my favorite song of theirs.
-
everyone remember the year that 8mp let his hair grow out so he could go as the youngest hanson brother but by the time halloween rolled around mmmbop wasn't popular anymore.. poor 8mp :frown:
-
What in the world?!
-
8mp really needs to post his top ten to save this thread. It's going in a bad, albeit mildly humorous, direction.
P.S. I'll take a stab at 8mp's top ten.
1. RHCP
2. Radiohead
3. Sublime
4. 3eb
5. The Offspring
6. Bush
7. Alice in Chains
8. NIN
9. Green Day
10. Weezer

remember that time when he made you line all of those drinks up at the bar and then stood there and sang the whole song and would drink each drink after every verse. i drink a whiskey drink (drink)!, i drink a....
just classic 8mp right there. :lol:

and then when he started undoing his belt during the "pissing the night away" interlude but dax jumped up and pulled his hands away!

im a little confused as to why ksdizzuce feels the need to hijack 8mps thread about his list (that he made himself) and turn it into his own list where 8mps name is on it. like, is this a cry for attention or what? :dunno:
-
#10 on the list of 8mp's top 10 90's songs has got to be "All the Small Things" by Blink 182.
Honorable Mention: "No diggity" by BLACKstreet and "Everlong" by Foo Fighters.
-
:Wha:

I will fight you for making fun of either of those songs.

I really like the graffiti6 cover of No Diggity

Enjoy!

OT: I've kind of got the hang of putting lists like this up, although _FAN might be able to clean up the picture formatting there a bit. If anybody wants to blog their own lists or really anything about anything, I'll put it up. It's not as prestigous as the medical journal 'clams and fatty got published in, but still CV-worthy IMO.

And if anyone chooses to make fun of quality music like BLACKstreet/No Diggity again I may have to fight them.

That top 5 :love:
I have a few different but overall this is a pretty great list. Obviously 8mp can judge good music a lot better than Stevesie.

We've got room for a Top 10 Fred Durst Lyrics list or something on the blog...
-
only in dreams is far and away weezer's best song. fantastic choice there.
-
I wish I could think of a band worse than The Offspring. I can't though.
-
I would put Radiohead above 3EB and RHCP. And Smashing Pumpkins should be on that list somewhere (IMO!). But good list overall.

But could we have the gE blog's first ever Top 50 list?
-
like that you included third eye blind. i wrote them off while they were doing their thing, but started listening to them about a year or so ago. one of my favorite things to do is a 2am headphone session of "the background", "motorcycle drive by", and "god of wine" - that's such a great three songs to close out the album. motorcycle drive by is probably my favorite song of theirs, but thumbs up
-

I'll fight you

I said Radiohead was the "best", but not my favorite. I should probably like the Pumpkins more, but I don't. Corgan's voice and douchebaggery I think.

I can't think of a band better than The Offspring because it is the best one and my favorite.

as the biggest pre-green album weezer fan on this blog, i will confirm. do not agree with "far and away" tho.

I've often wished that the last 6 songs of 3eb and the first 6 of Blue were combined as an album. I bought Blue for my brother for his birthday when it came out, but didn't really care for it until I relistened to it 10 years later.

also, pretty good list, but any 90's list without the urge as #1 is complete dogshit. sorry 8mp.
-

that's fair. personal preference and all. pumpkins aren't for everyone either so w/e. pretty great decade of music in general.

As a bigger overall Weezer fan than seven, I can confirm that "Only In Dreams" is FAR and AWAY Weezer's best song. I've literally watched that rehearsal vid over 100 times on the youtubes. Weezer is my #1 band of the 90's.

No Smashing Pumpkins makes me sad, but your list is pretty great. 'Grats on the (correct) lack of Nirvana. I feel like Neutral Milk Hotel could make it onto your list. And if you've listened to them and don't like them then I just have no idea how to gauge what you like and don't like.
-
What about the Offspring is good? Their non-punk poser punk persona, their horrible novelty songs, or the lack of any decent musicianship?

They were quite important to the musical climate, and had some really good songs. To deny that is stupid. The musicianship from Krist and Dave is really great.

I'd rather listen to Smash or Americana all the way through than anything by Nirvana except maybe Unplugged, which I rated lower than deserved because it is half cover songs. So what? :comeatme:

And to go from 80's hair bands with very effeminate lead singers to a dude in thrift store clothes that stands haphazardly in front of a mic stand while playing guitar was a pretty huge jump.

Yes. Many times. I had to turn down the part where he yells "You stupid dumb crap GD MOTHER ROUGH RIDER!" so my Mom wouldn't hear. Smash is OK, but no way they are a top ten band.

right, and we dont need to get into this again because i think were in agreement here but... just because you invented something doesnt mean youre the best. the list is top 10 bands, not top 10 most innovative bands. nirvana is top 15 for me, but im not some fancy music geek with a blog and all. just your average joe :frown:

No argument here. I love watching Nirvana live shows, especially in the 89-91 period. The With the Lights Out set is a must watch/listen.

if i hear a song from Smash, i will listen to it. if i hear any Nirvana song, i will not listen to it

sure, but being purely reactionary does not stand the test of time. that's why i don't really listen to motely crue OR nirvana

I like Nirvana and it has nothing to do with whether or not they were innovative or orginators of something. Their music sounds good to my ears and brain.

Mocat. Come on. Nirvana holds up really well.

What are you saying "but" to? What did you say that I haven't also said?

For the very same reason I rough ridin' hate the red hot chilli pepps. They are rough ridin' awful to me.
-
nirvana changed music. so using stevesie's psycho/the shining theory, no other band from the 90's should be rated higher than them. sorry guys. invalid list. do over.
-
I love Weezer and Radiohead. I'm pretty ambivalent on Greenday. Liked their earlier stuff, not their newer stuff.

I even saw them live in college, but the only reason I went was because the foo fighters were opening and I really liked them back then. Not so much now, much like Greenday. Also Pearl Jam. Like loved a bunch of their older stuff, but recently not so much. I don't dislike it so much as it just doesn't do aything for me. Indifferent. Never the pepps tho. Always just the worst.

This is a list of 8man's favorite 90's bands, not the best. If you're trying to determine the best band, song, movie, etc, then stuff like changing how movies/music were done from then on has to be taken into consideration. I don't know why you're so butthurt about this, but it's turning you into a timhawk-like poster.

I mean, they basically invented grunge (here comes 8manpick with a bunch of links to older songs that sound "grungey"). And to go from 80's hair bands with very effeminate lead singers to a dude in thrift store clothes that stands haphazardly in front of a mic stand while playing guitar was a pretty huge jump.
sure, but being purely reactionary does not stand the test of time. that's why i don't really listen to motely crue OR nirvana
What are you saying "but" to? What did you say that I haven't also said?
i'm agreeing with you that it's a huge jump but i am also saying that's not a reason to listen to them 20+ years later
-
I love Weezer and Radiohead. I'm pretty ambivalent on Greenday. Liked their earlier stuff, not their newer stuff.
this might be the most agreed upon statement in music history
Well good then. I'm glad we all agree.

Yeah, I said that like three posts ago.

stevesie and mocat, just two bros saying the same thing to anybody else who's listening

I once read a review that lamented Jane's Addiction ---> Porno for Pyros was what happened when rock stars evolved from "sportfucking and heroin to yoga and tofu"

nirvana changed music. so using stevesie's psycho/the shining theory, no other band from the 90's should be rated higher than them. sorry guys. invalid list. do over.
This is a list of 8man's favorite 90's bands, not the best. If you're trying to determine the best band, song, movie, etc, then stuff like changing how movies/music were done from then on has to be taken into consideration. I don't know why you're so butthurt about this, but it's turning you into a timhawk-like poster.
sounds like timhawk has permanently changed message boarding then. guess he's a top ten bbs'r.

I'm glad no one on this board pretends that Nirvana was ever anything more than an average band
They were quite important to the musical climate, and had some really good songs. To deny that is stupid. The musicianship from Krist and Dave is really great.
I don't think anyone here hates them, we just agree that they're outside the top 10.
Yeah the Offspring is way better. Have you heard "Pretty Fly for a White Guy"?
Have you ever listened to Smash from start to finish? Good grief
Yes. Many times. I had to turn down the part where he yells "You stupid dumb crap GD MOTHER ROUGH RIDER!" so my Mom wouldn't hear. Smash is OK, but no way they are a top ten band.
my uncle bought me SMASH when i was in 4th or 5th grade (asked for it for christmas), and i used to blast that song so loud. my mom just laughed. sorry your mom sucks :dunno:
-
that same uncle also bought me KERPLUNK! by green day the same christmas.
-
Solid choice putting 3EB so high on the list.
True Story: I listened to Slow Motion on repeat for about an hour my freshman year of college while I wallowed in my own depression before I had to leave for a court date (for a non-sexual crime!). Not sure if I told you that IRL, but it's true.
-
also, pretty good list, but any 90's list without the urge as #1 is complete dogshit. sorry 8mp.
Preach. Steve Ewing was one of the best lead vocalists of the era. Great voice. Great music.
-
Edit: If this is just 8mp's list of fave 90s bands then I'm cool with it. Different stroke and all.
Not a single mention of Tool in a thread about 90s bands is basically asinine. I'm not really a huge fan of the group, but if we are talking, and this is something that 8mp specifically mentioned, about listenability over the course of a full album Tool has to be up there.
Undertow and Aenema were both critically acclaimed albums and the fact that Aenema could rise to No. 2 on the charts despite not being Top-40 friendly speaks volumes on its own. Uniquely smooth drum patterns, top-notch vocals and rhythmic yet heavy guitars and bass.
-
Lateralus is my favorite album of all time. Well top 5 at least.

that is a pretty good point. I like tool, don't love them, but you have to respect the level of talent there.

Danny Carey (drummer) always wears a squawk jersey when they play in KC :frown:

had absolutely no idea they were still playing and would have bet money they weren't, but here you go. only put this link cause it was sandstone. obviously there are better ones out there and nothing like they were back in the day, but man. saw them twice in aggieville. :cyclist:

also,
"Ewing is currently the owner/operator of Steve's Sausages, located within the limits of Scott AFB, IL, as well as Steve's Hot Dogs on the Hill, in St. Louis, MO."

only in dreams is far and away weezer's best song. fantastic choice there.
yeah thats not even up for debate
Only in Dreams is one of the greatest songs of all-time. But if possible, Across the Sea gives it a run for its money too. Just two heavyweights duking it out. Only in Dreams probably comes out on top, but after the ref declares a winner they both hug and the crowd goes wild.
-
Two bands not mentioned that would def. be in a Nicname top ten.
Ween
Blind Melon
-
Every time I listen to Ween I'm like, "Hey SB. Listen to Ween more." And then I don't ever remember to. :frown:
