Let me hear it for Barry Manilow ladies!
That just goes to show how solid the 90's particularly the early 90's was for music.
No body has seen that many GREAT bands come out at once since the 60s
So did all of you guys have long hair, and wear flannel too? I did
I certainly had long hair. I also owned different flannel for every day of the week.(not really)
What?!!! No Barry Manilow fans?!!
Well, I'd say I am more of an AC/DC fan. But I do have a very eclectic taste in music ranging from hard rock to country, some pop, some 70's (Reo speedwagon and yes, some disco) and 80's (the cars) to classical, symphony, and certain rap songs.
But listen up you male Barry Manilow bashers (especially you LINative, if your current relationship doesn't lead to something more).......
Several years ago Barry Manilow was giving a concert at the PNC Art Center. I wanted to go so bad because honestly, I do really love a lot of his music (ex: I made it through the rain), but pleading with most of my friends to go with me was like pulling teeth. Finally, I bribed one of my male (strictly platonic) coworker to accompany me. I even paid for his ticket. He whined all the way there, I wanted to slap him.
but once we arrived, parked, and trecked our blanket and other belongings up the hill to the ampitheatre,
his demeanor took a complete 180. There before him was a sea of beautiful young women with their friends (other beautiful women) wearing shorts and tank tops drinking overpriced beer and beaming with anticipation to hear Mandy sang up close and personal by the one and only.
He was in Manilow heaven and still thanks me to this day.
Oasis died because they came out with one good album and then claimed they were bigger than the beatles and the entire world lost respect for them.
That sum oasis up for you bro? LOL

SMashing pumpkins were good. I thought Bush sucked HOWEVER I have a theory for this. Bush came out with all of the greats....so when comparing Bush to Pearl Jam....ehhhh it doesnt work. BUT when Bush songs come on the radio that is usually full with todays drivel, they sound awesome. I guess its all relative.
Ive seen Pearl Jam (4x), AIC, Red Hot Chili Peppers (4-5x I think), STP, Nirvana, Sound Garden, Silver Chair (they were actually really good when they opened for RHCP), Rage against the machine/Wu tang......good stuff.
I disagree to an extent. They didn't release only one great album. Both their debut, Definitely Maybe and their follow-up (What's The Story) Morning Glory? are fantastic. The latter being the one most people tend to point to when Oasis comes up in conversation. The Gallagher brothers were/are both huge Beatles fans. I think when they claimed they were bigger than the Beatles it was more of a statement made out of respect than anything else. Clearly they didn't have the run the Beatles had. But for awhile they're was no denying their place at the top of the Rock & Roll food chain. In the end the two brothers just couldn't get along. They self-imploded. But in retrospect maybe it's better that way. I wouldn't be shocked if somewhere down the line they got back together and played a few gigs here and there. But the sun has almost certainly set on Oasis.
