1993-1995. Great years for music. Nirvana, Soundgarden, The Offspring, Stone Temple Pilots, the Melvins, Pantera, Alice in Chains, No Doubt, Sublime. We were awesome. Our music was awesome.
Here's the top ten songs of 1994:
No Kurt Cobain but an awful lot of Ace of Base. But that's just 1994, an anomaly?
1993:
1995:
1992?:
(you'll find Nirvana down at 32 in 1992 and never appearing again, the other above mentioned bands never even get a top 100). I can say honestly that I was listening to most of the above mentioned bands, but apparently I was in a minority. But yeah, Sir Mix-a-lot was a better financial investment than Pearl Jam or Nirvana in 1992.
But if it makes you feel any better, our parents are as full of shit than we are. The 60's, that decade of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Cream, the Beatles and Janis Joplin.
1967:
1968:
Well the Doors and Clapton do sneak in there and there are the Beatles all the way up there with Lulu! .......... okay, maybe they weren't quite as full of it. I can't hate on a list that has Otis Redding, John Lennon, Clapton and Morrison but you get the idea. I mean the Monkees did better than both the Doors and Eric Clapton, as did Bobbie Gentry and the great Paul Mauriat!
Anyway no real point to this, but remember, you've had fifty years to forget Lulu and twenty to forget Tag Team. Nostalgia is fun but things weren't better back then.
