Looking for Grunge

Post by I AM ME »

ok, so i've always been into grunge, it was just a few years before my time, or at least before i noticed it.

I'm thinking of buying Soundgarden's "Superunknown", any other albums you would suggest? I wouldn't mind gettiung some Alice in Chains but i wouldn't know where to start, "Dirt"?

i know there has to be some grunge fans here, and i know for a fact there's Alice fans

oh yeah if yor like me and looking for grunge try downloading "Fell On Black Days"...such a good song. Which reminds me, RHCP ripped the melody off it in one of their songs on Californication...can't remember which one though.

Oh yeah for one of teh darkest songs ever download "4th of july"

Definitely get Superunknown :drool:

Dirt's good too.

If you don't have Ten by Pearl Jam go and get it now. And Every Nirvana album. And some early Smashing Pumpkins stuff - Gish and Siamese Dream.

I can't believe this stuff is over 10 years old now - very scary - and yet it still sounds amazing.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

early 'Pumpkins rule all.

plus go with anything and everything Nirvana.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

Alice in Chains unplugged is a good way to get into the band. Also download Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns - Mother Love Bone . A great song

I love that song - and they played it when I saw them live and I was soooo happy.

Other albums:
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies/Sap - 2 acoustic EPs
Hole - Live Through This
Blind Melon - Blind Melon
Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog
Singles OST (has Pumpkins and Peal Jam and Mother Love Bone and lots of other good stuff)

look for anything on the Sub Pop label.

oh course you have to get Nirvana's Never Mind. Nirvana Unplugged was good cause they stripped down their songs.

Get the soundtrack for the Movie Singles. Both SG and AIC played bands in the film and 3/5's of PJ played Matt Dillions back up band. The soundtrack is awesome though. Alot of great songs on it. My favorite AIC song is on it. WOULD

Dirt/Jar of flies-Alice in Chains-even Jerry Cantrel's solo cd is good.
BADMOTORFINGER-SoundGarden, although I love SuperUnknown
Screaming Trees,
Ten or VS by Pearl Jam
Core or Purple by STP(although I never really considered them grunge)
Siamese Dream-Smashing Pumpkins
Any Mudhoney or melvin CD's
Hole's Live Through this(which is one of my all time favorite CD's)
Temple Of The Dog

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again
