Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana

What would I do without these bands. All are in my top 10 favorite bands and the fact that they are all from the same town and were all making music at the same time just makes it even better.

You people are lucky to have experienced the early 90's with the great music and all.
I get to spend my teen years in the time of emo and rap.

Athens GA in the early 80's was a pretty happening place.

I really appreciate hearing this from a teen of this time, you acknowledge the right stuff! I was born in 83 so although I was only 10 in 93..... I got to spend my early to mid teens with years like 1996-98 which i think were the best years because we had radiohead, smashing pumpkins, and pearl jam all in their (what i feel is their) prime. Amongst all the other good alternative bands where one hit wonders were actually GOOD and still are good.

I agree. Though I like Nirvana I think they are way overrated.

When april 5th comes all the music channels and everything is like RIP Kurt. Not saying everything should be Layne and no kurt, at least some Layne WTF ?? LAYNE STALEY!!!! ??? nothing on Layne its just nirvana nirvana nirvana.

And Kurt is a giant hipocrite - explained it too many times

Dont get me started on the music

I agree. I only got into these bands in the last five years, although I was into older, classic rock before.
I'm just glad I got to hear about these bands so that I can appreciate their music, and thankfully Pearl Jam are still together so I have the opportunity to hear their music live.

All the mentioned bands have changed people's lives and for that we should be grateful

Im 15 and have learned that there is good current music...but you really gotta look for it. My favorite bands are all from the the late 60s or the early 90s with the exception of U2(80s) and the Clash(late 70s).....I absolutely love so many bands from the early 90s, it really makes me jealous sometimes that I missed those days but I may be even more jealous about missing the late 60s cuz that was just such a cool era culturally, musically...everything. Then again, I would have hated to have had to live through the mid70s-80s.

It doesn't have to be that way

Sure, those four bands (and a few others) were incredible in their time, but there's a lot of great music happening right now that isn't EMO or rap.

Check out Porcupine Tree, Oceansize, Twilight Singers, QOTSA, Eleven, The Black Keys, Ian Love, and The Flaming Lips...just to name a few. A few of them won't be as heavy as some of the stuff you love, but they're just as good in their own way.
