    "School" is by far my favourite Nirvana song. The lyrics are genius albeit brief.
    That one is listenable.

    It's just funny to me that a band like Candlebox has supposedly never hit the crapper...
    They never hit the crapper because the crapper hit them first.

    Has anybody mentioned Zeppelin? I know In Through The Out Door was very different and not well liked by all, but I still like it and consider all their studio albums great in their own way.

    I did. With stuff like Carouselambra and In the Evening as the epics, Hot Dog and Fool In the Rain as kinda quirky numbers that Zep had on the later albums.....All My Love is a little cheesy, it's really well crafted. I think it's good and really great for a low point.

    The Stones hit the crapper, trying to keep up with trends, but they had some good songs on everything and they've bounced back pretty well.

    Some of the bands, while solid, I don't think they were ever good enough to hit the crapper. You gotta take a pretty hard fall from grace, to me. Stuff like Candlebox and Live lived their life on the toilet rim.

    AC/DC: It all sounds the same, but it's all good!
    Alice In Chains: LOVE the new stuff too.
    Beastie Boys: They will be missed. Hope they can piece together a 'Hot Sauce Committee Part One.'
    Nirvana: Bleach was no Nevermind or In Utero, but you can't dismiss the raw energy.
    Queens of The Stone Age: My most treasured 'discovery' in this post grunge age.

    Neil Young never hit the crapper. Le Noise was a masterpiece. His low points were done on purpose. He did say, afterall, 'see what i tricked them into releasing?' That's art.

    I love Neil, but I can't go along with that. Le noise is great, but his quality has been declining for 15 years. Blips up here and there (silver and gold, some of Chrome Dreams) but for every psychedelic Pill, there is a Fork in the road and Are You Passionate?

    Again, crapper doesn't mean the worst ever- should be put down out back. It basically means they are a shadow of their former selves. Significant decline.

    :? :wtf: OK, I realize this is all opinion, but you can't possibly think that even the very best stuff they've put out in the last 30 years can hold a candle to the Bon Scott era.

    Seriously, put a playlist together with the best 9 or 10 songs they've done since 1983 and then listen to Powerage (generally considered - but not by me - to be their worst 70s album) and tell me what sounds better.

    That being said, their live shows are still a blast.

    That's what I think. I think Neil likes challenging the listener and basically does what he wants. I know some people who haven't even bought his latest stuff out of losing interest. Definitely missing out Psychedelic Pill is a great album.

    Black Ice was a huge improvement for AC/DC but since For Those About To Rock their output has been patchy at best

    I agree, Neil does things the way he wants to, and it's not only really smart, but it sounds great.
