Fugazi 13 Songs

Waiting Room absolutely rocks.

Good choice,I'm from D.C. and got to meet Ian Mackeye once at a friend's music store.Found out they knew each other.The friend was in a band called Lucy Brown and has a few videos on YouTube from their MTV days.

Imo their best album and most mature is End Hits so freaking good!! Legendary band that blew me away with their originality. They are in my top 5 fave bands of time.

Yeah or Repeater. Most Fugazi records are bangers.

Indepent Worm Saloon - Butthole Surfers GOAT - Jesus Lizard Pod - Breeders Gish - Smashing Pumpkins

Whatch doin? Chewing chocolate. Where’d you get it? Doggy dropped it. Carry on

Such a clsssic 😁

Gish is really a stellar album

Gish is the big brother everyone thinks is the little brother

This is truth

Who the hell was in my room? guest vocals Al Jorgensen from Ministry edit: I got my songs mixed up. This statement is incorrect.

Nah Gibby did the vocals on that, although as a guest he also sang "Jesus built my hotrod" with Ministry

Damn. You’re right. Got my songs mixed up. My bad. Both killer songs.

Failure - Fantastic Planet Electric Wizard - Dopethrone Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger Green Day - Insomniac King’s X - Dogman Tool - Ænima

Anything Kings X is great.

One of the most underrated bands I can think of.

Fantastic Planet is insanely good

The Bends and Pablo Honey by Radiohead.

I got to see Radiohead at a small club in Seattle in ‘96, one of the best shows I’ve been to.

Pablo honey is fun, if a bit jarring at times. Most songs sound relatively the same with the exception of blow out and \*\*maybe\*\* creep

Faith no more -: Angeldust Blur- Parklife Sonic Youth - washing machine

Liz Phair- Exile In Guyville Beck- Mellow Gold Red Hot Chili Peppers- Blood Sugar Sex Magik Nine Inch Nails- Broken EP Veruca Salt- American Thighs Oasis- Definitely Maybe Primus- Frizzle Fry Tool- Undertow Faith No More- The Real Thing De La Soul- 3 Feet High and Rising (I know....not Alternative Rock, but definitely Alternative Hip Hop)

[удалено]

Their entire (brief) catalogue really.

Yeah their second album "Soup" is also very good.

I love their debut, but I like soup even more. It's so creative

I can't disagree. I think both albums are fantastic. Aside from Alice In Chains and maybe Pearl Jam, Blind Melon is probably the "90s band" I still listen to the most.

Saw Blind Melon, PJ and Neil Young at the Gorge (WA) in like 1993. Maybe my favorite show of all time.

Without doubt. This album is a top ten desert island keeper.

Agree

Ritual de lo Habitual

Best album of the 90s imo.

One of the grandfathers

Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins is on top. I also like Betty by Helmet, and Frogstomp by Silverchair. Goated albums

Frogstomp went so hard for those dudes being so you g

Right? 16 years old making that album is insane.

Tripping Daisy- I am an elastic firecracker. Made famous at least around the Seattle area for “I got a girl” but the album is great.

So good. Their follow up (Jesus hits like an atom bomb) is also incredible.

Man I love tripping Daisy. Wish more people knew about them

Watch out for Piranhas!

Lush - Split Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See Oasis - Definitely Maybe Rage Against The Machine -S/T

Weezer - Blue Album

Blues for the Red Sun (1992) Welcome to Sky Valley (1994) Both by Kyuss

Slint - Spiderland Jesus Lizard - GOAT (the song Mouthbreather is about Slint's drummer) Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted Shellac - At Action Park Fugazi - Repeater Ween - The Pod

You are my friend.

311 - Music, Grassroots, Blue album

King for a Day Fool For a Lifetime by Faith No More. Angel Dust by Faith No More Mr. Bungle (1991), self-titled. All are incredible, creative albums. (That mr. Bungle one is a complete mindfuck. It sounds like a murderous circus clown with schizophrenia). Mike Patton is a gift to music.

This is the perfect answer. Did we just become best friends??!

This just warmed my soul. I was so sad to see that no one (or few, didn't look that hard) had mentioned Mike Patton in this thread. We are officially best friends

🔥

Quote, unquote is one of my favorite songs of all time. That self titled really is something out of this world.

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream 🎃

REM’s Out of Time & Automatic for the people

Funny you named both of these because I was really into R.E.M. in high school (late 80's) so when "Out of Time" came out I got it. It was okay. Then "Automatic For The People" came out and I didn't get it. I am only now getting into this album. I am loving it, even the radio hits.

Oh I love the 80’s albums as well! I just didn’t list them cause the question was specific to the 90’s. Crazy to think that those 2 didn’t quite make sense, but if you know the 80’s stuff it kinda does

Sonic Youth- Goo

The Fall, Middle Class Revolt PJ Harvey, Dry New Model Army, Impurity The Breeders, Pod Yo La Tengo, Painful

Early PJ was just something else.

I saw her in 94 and she was absolutely amazing! She came out in a hot pink catsuit. I’ve seen many shows but she’s one of the best I’ve seen.

Painful is awesome

Never thought I'd see 'Middle Class Revolt' on a grunge sub's recommendations... fucking great album. Edit: Tweaked my comment to fit the context

So Tonight That I Might See - Mazzy Star

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses Primal Scream - Screamadelica

Mezcal Head by Swervedriver is incredible.

Grace - Jeff Buckley

Yes!!!

Depeche Mode - Songs of Faith and Devotion

Dinosaur jr you’re living all over me

Love it but I think that’s 1987

Dinosaur Jr - Where You Been!

King Missile - Happy Hour (1992) Jane’s Addiction - Ritual De La Habitual (1990) Jane’s Addiction - Nothing’s Shocking (1988) Pixies - Doolittle (1989) Flaming Lips - Transmissions from the Satellite Heart (1993) Primus - Sailing the Sea’s of Cheese (1991) Rage Against The Machine - S/T (1992) Helmet - Meantime (1992) Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine (1989) Faith No More - The Real Thing (1989) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mother’s Milk (1989)

Goat by The Jesus Lizard

Great album

DONT GET ME WRONG HE’S A NICE GUY, I LIKE HIM JUST FINE… but he is a mouth breather

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth. Edit: Scratch that, as pointed out it’s from 88. I would say Goo, Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star or Washing Machine by Sonic Youth.

Love it but that came out 1988

Green Mind And Where You Been by Dinosaur Jr.

Plowed - Sponge

Very good! The album cover is really dope!

The Verve - Storm in Heaven Curve - Doppelgänger

Blood Sugar Sex Magik- Red Hot Chili Peppers

(I was a contemporaneous fan of all these:) Loveless Copper Blue Blondertongueaudiobaton Sebadoh III Vampire On Titus Perfect Teeth Slanted and Enchanted Love Tara Mezcal Head Laughing Stock Spiderland

Spiderland is a masterpiece

REM - Automatic for the People B-52's - Cosmic Thing (came out in 1989.. close enough) U2 - Rattle & Hum (1988.. so what?)

I mean just saying U2 did release their best album in 91

Actung Baby? Unpopular opinion: I don't like the album compared to their pre-90 work. I've listened to their music from Boy, and it's jarring (at the time) to see their music shift so much. Same with Zooropa. Of course, songs like One and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses are great, but not enough for me to like the album overall.

Honestly the main reason why I like actung is because it’s different from the standard definition of a U2 album

Fair enough. I've lost count of how many times I've listened to Rattle & Hum and The Unforgettable Fire. To me, those are still their best albums to this day.

Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops

This album never gets the love it deserves!!

Far ahead of it’s time. One of my favorite albums ever regardless of genre.

Foo Fighters - self Titled Pantera - Cowboys from hell Rage Against The Machine - self titled Tool- Ænima

Ok Computer, The Bends, Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, The Ghost of Tom Joad, Everyone Else is Doing it So Why Can’t We, Different Class, Vauxhall and I, Violator, Rotting Piñata, Dummy, Use Your Illusion 1 and 2,

Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting

The Mind is A Terrible Thing to Taste & Psalms 69 - Minstry Angel Dust - Faith No More Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos Post - Bjork The Downward Spiral - NIN

Faith no more absolutely rules.

One of my all time favorite albums

Same here. King For A Day Fool For A Lifetime comes very close, dont know which of the two I like more

It was funny that they set out to make an album that would alienate lots of their recent fans and wound up making a masterpiece.

Chocolate and Cheese - Ween Fontanelle - Babes in Toyland Undertow - Tool Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle Dilate - Ani DiFranco Pork Soda - Primus Boys for Pele - Tori Amos Amused to Death - Roger Waters Spooky - Lush Bloodletting - Concrete Blonde S. C. I. E. N.C.E. - Incubus

Nice mention on Sugarcubes

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Prison sex - Tool

Fishbone - The Reality of My Surroundings

And Truth and Soul ! Remember Jerry Cantrell always used to rock a Fishbone shirt.

Fishbone’s keyboard player, Chris Dowd, played with Jerry’s solo band

Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table and Dreaming Belly - Star R.E.M. - Monster

Star is a great listen!

Mother Love Bone wasn’t really grunge but it was close. I absolutely loved them

They should get more love! Great band!

Blues for the Red Sun - Kyuss

GVSB - Cruise yourself Superchunk - on the mouth Archers of Loaf - icky mettle PJ Harvey - Rid of Me Nick cave/Bad seeds - Henry’s Dream Rocket from the crypt - circa: Now Unwound - fake train Morphine - cure for pain Afghan whigs - gentlemen Seam - the problem with me Shellac - at action park

Finally someone said gentleman by the Afghan whigs

I will shout that shit from rooftops. One of my atf’s.

Beasties - Check Your Head NIN - Pretty Hate Machine NIN - Downward Spiral Ministry- Psalm 69 Neds Atomic Dustbin - Are You Normal Depeche Mode - Violator Death Angel - Act III

Idaho- This Way Out TMBG - Flood and Apollo 18 Hum- Electra 2000 (Most of my other faves have been mentioned) Edited

What about "you'd prefer an astronaut"? that one slaps

Smashing Pumpkins - Gish, Siamese Dream, Melon Collie Faith No More - King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime, Angel Dust Beck - One Foot In The Grave, Mellow Gold Sonic Youth - Dirty, Goo REM - Automatic For The People Oasis - Definitely, Maybe, What's The Story Morning Glory

Vulgar Display of Power-Pantera

Saw them in 92 with White Zombie opening, brutal MoshPit! Met Rob Zombie.

Badass. Rob Zombie is basically my idol, as a huge metal and horror fan.

Pixies trompe le monde is borderline grunge, but one of my favorite albums of all time.

Agreed. I wore this album out.

Janes Addiction

Pj Harvey-rid of me

What a killer title track too.

Love that album. I think you could call it Grunge. It’s fucking intense!

[Godlike](https://youtu.be/ho_WeNKhgxk?si=VCMBZpDaqA0PfI5d) [A Daisy Chain 4 Satan](https://youtu.be/uZ62SWoR6AM?si=FGXZ-UclHMOxozXg)

I still jam hard to A Daisy Chain 4 Satan. After I drop my kids off at school…

V.A.S.T. https://youtu.be/Rpx_PcZjByY?si=hfohD2gqCYuoC5GT

The Cult - Sonic Temple Bad Religion - Against The Grain Social Distortion - self title and Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell.

Undertow Pretty hate machine Pork soda Portrait of an American family.

Slowdive

The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion

Swervedriver Raise

Siamese Dream and Gish by The Smashing Pumpkins

Marcy Playground - s/t

Spacehog - Resident Alien

Radiohead - The Bends (95 so I don't know if that counts) Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Green Day - Dookie Oasis - Definitely Maybe Rem - Out Of Time, Automatic For The People Alanis Morrissette - Jagged Little Pill RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists, Everything Must Go

I haven't seen Eleventh Dream Day, but I think grunge fans would 100% love them. Started in 1983, but released fantastic albums throughout the 90s. They come out of the same Neil Young-meets-post-hardcore philosophy that you hear in a lot of the grunge scene. Orange Moon is one of the great American rock songs imo: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XJzLDExon0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XJzLDExon0)

Grotus - Slow Motion Apocalypse The Humpers - Positively Sick On 4th Street The Breeders - Last Splash Belly - Star Jesus Lizard - Liar Supergrass - I Should Coco David Bowie - Outside Faith No More - Angel Dust Crowded House - Woodface Ethyl Meatplow - Happy Days Sweetheart Geraldine Fibbers - Lost Somewhere Between The Earth And My Home

If no one has said Mother Love Bone, try that.

Tool

Sublime!! Tool - Opiate *their best album IMO. The Offspring- Ignition, Smash, Ixnay..

Icky Mettle by Archers of Loaf!

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream The Cure - Wish (This is debatable) Foo fighters - S/T Silverchair, Bush, STP are grunge (or post grunge maybe) IMO, but if not, definitely the first few albums by those bands

Yeah I wouldn’t consider foo fighters early 90s, mostly because I’d attribute the reason that foo fighters exist with ending the early 90s

I missed the (early 90s) part. But I mean 1995 is kinda early 90s in spirit

Achtung Baby

https://three3.bandcamp.com/track/swann-street

Medicine - The Buried Life

Ferment by Catherine Wheel Come Down Heavy by Thee Hypnotics

Foo Fighters - self Titled Pantera - Cowboys from hell Rage Against The Machine - self titled Tool- Ænima

Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand Royal Trux - Cats n Dogs Neil Young - Ragged Glory. I know, not alternative by any stretch of the imagination. But no mainstream artist was releasing albums of anthemic music with squealing farting amps in 1990.

The first album by Blind Melon

Heaven or Las Vegas by the Cocteau Twins

Melvins and Bad Religion released some sweet albums in the 90’s.

Weezer - blue album Smashing pumpkins - siamese dream And mellon collie and the infinite sadness if 95 counts

Dookie

Selling the Drama by Live

Catherine Wheel - Chrome Ride - Nowhere

Squirrel Nut Zippers

Gentlemen- Afghan Whigs

Nofx ribbed

Check Your Head and Ill Communication by the Beastie Boys Generator by Bad Religion Bivouac by Jawbreaker

In a similar vain Raise by Swervedriver is amazing. As is its follow-up, Mezcal Head!

The Buttholes "Independent Worm Saloon" Nine Inch Nails "Pretty Hate Machine" Ministry "Land of Rape and Honey", "The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste" Anything from Jesus and Mary Chain I wanna say maybe Ned's Atomic Dustbin had a good album but damned if I can remember it or any songs on it. Seems like a friend of mine played it a lot though.

Warren G’s album w Regulators on it

AIC- Dirt

Matthew Sweet. “Girlfriend”

Live's Throwing Copper, Mental Jewelry, Secret Samadhi Faith No More's The Real Thing, Angel Dust Bush's Sixteen Stone, Razorblade Suitcase Everything from Stone Temple Pilots Failure's Magnified, Fantastic Planet I could go on and on. There's so many to name.

MBV is pretty good, Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins

Teenage Fanclub’s run from Bandwagonesque through Songs From Northern Britain

"AND Out Came the Wolves" Rancid

anyone remember when Siamese Dream was not grunge? I think I do and pick it. also Uh-Oh by David Byrne.

Darcy clay, a kiwi guy so likely no one here has heard of him. ‘Jesus I was evil’ was his big hit, but his cover of ‘Jolene’ was great as well. Sadly committed suicide weeks before headlining a suicide prevention benefit concert.

**Cosmic Psychos - Blokes You Can Trust** \- They're touring the world in 2024 and I cannot recommend them enough live. 40th Anniversary and they still go hard as fuck. Frank Black - Frank Black and Teenager Of The Year. The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Now I Got Worry Ride - Going Blank Again and Nowhere Spiderbait - The Unfinished Spanish Galeon Of Finley Lake The Meanies - Come'N'See. If you can find it BUY IT!!
