<p>I'd assume so ... those years are all a bit fuzzy to me on the specifics, in my head I thought it was 94, but that might have been REM.</p> -

<p>I'm not sure if it was the first, I think it might have been the 3rd? TISM played as well as I remember. Those early ones blend into one for me these days.</p> -
<p>My nephew is a struggling muso - just about to bring out an EP.</p>

<p>I need it to go viral if I'm to live the dream of being a sort of rock 'n roll Uncle Tony/roadie/family leech. :)</p> -
<p>Going to see Future Islands next month. Really like some of their old singles (<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='

<p>I was backstage at a Soundgarden show in '91 or 92 and saw the most beautiful woman I'd ever laid eyes on -- dunno who she was, she was exotic, great looking with style and class, and plainly obvious she was Chris Cornell's date, so the comment above makes me chuckle.</p> -

<p>I was never a big grunge fan, and can't compare records because I was never a big enough fan, but I saw most of the grunge bands multiple times between 1991-'93, and in a live performance imho Nirvana were <em>clearly</em> superior to all of them. It also seemed to me in performance and recordings that where most of the Seattle grunge scene leaned metal, Nirvana leaned more to Husker Du and Killing Joke, being more propulsive with higher energy and better songs.</p> -
<p>Paul Dempsey - lead singer of an Aussie band started in the 90s called Something For Kate. Here he is belting out Miley Cyrus' release "Wrecking Ball" as part of a Musical Challenge on an FM station here.</p>

<p>Based solely on the recorded material: Nirvana were highly overrated IMHO, and even more so once their dickhead lead singer put his head all over a wall. I was more into Pearl Jam, but that faded over time ... maybe as I lost more hair? They still have some good stuff though and I can listen to particular tracks and still have it rock me like when I first heard it.</p>

<p>FNM always seemed to find a way to intrigue me - flexible and different. </p>

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">6. Due to its nonexistence (there is not even a script), deducing the plot to The Elder solely from its corresponding music is more or less impossible. It appears to be set in a version of the past that is actually the future, focusing on a boy recruited by a medieval organization called the Order of the Rose. A British metal writer named Seb Hunter is currently trying to make this film happen, but there’s absolutely no chance Kiss will give him the rights to this music. <span style="color:#ff0000;">Which means we will eventually have the soundtrack to a film that does not exist and a film inspired by a soundtrack it can’t actually use.</span></blockquote>

Speaking of Nirvana, I thought Lorde did a reasonable job filling in for Kurt here:<br />
