Why don't 90's guitar players get talked about here?

The Bends and OK Computer are amazing records!!!

So, I'm rocking out some various 80's vinyl over the weekend and decide to text my buddy to see what kind of response I get...

but it kills me when people say Seattle killed 80s rock...no way.

80s rock killed 80s rock. It was a good day to die.

Yeah, I've got to agree. I've backed off of my grunge hatred since I've come to see that this is what really happened. It was time for 80's rock to go. It actually ran about 3 years or so into the 90's as it got progressively worse before it abruptly died. I just wish we, as in musicians my age, had come up with something better to replace it with than sloppy, crappy playing and starring at our shoes while mumbling into the mic and feigning mental illness. Rock never recovered from this trip down the shithole. Hip hop took over. I guess because rock was grandpa's music so the younger generation needed something that their parents hated. Mission accomplished. There is plenty of talent out there now but finding good rock songwriting is tough and takes a lot of digging. And when I find something, I generally think it's OK but not really great, and end up listening to the old stuff. So there you go, I've officially that guy I said I'd never become, who never really listens to anything new and thinks nothing can beat the old stuff.

On the bright side, good music is timeless. Just ask the jazz crowd. Or, Bach anyone? I guess you could say that stuff has stood the test of time.

It's posts like this make me realize the ignorance some people have of the 90's music.

Your mama


and BTW..... Bullet Boys

As a 70's guy, I'd rather be stuck in the 80's than listen to the dogshit from the 90's to present day

Plenty of dogshit musically in the 70's, 80's, 90's to present. All scenes had crappy music IMHO. Again people who say there wasn't some great music made through the 90's into today are IMHO ignorant of the scenes.

 

[Heritage Softail]

It is not only an 80's forum

There are plenty of references to other eras and types of music.

Some threads are bait to stir shit.

The 90's were great... the 80's were great... music is great.

Even though they put out (3) albums mid-to-late 80's, Sepultura hit their stride in the 90's
