Best music movement of the 90's?

Speaking of great 90s bands, who else loves the bands Spiritualized, and the Spacemen 3?Film-Guy

Your making me think post-rock-screamo xDtri-edge99

No screaming. More dreamy (like cousin_eddy explained) and subdued. The fuzzy guitiar really is at the forefront usually, not the vocals.

[QUOTE="tri-edge99"][QUOTE="Film-Guy"]Shoegaze fans should check out the band Blackstrap, they are a shoegaze band from Sweden.cousin_eddy

It is a form of alternative music made most famous in the 80's by european groups. It's best elements are dreamy guitar riffs, a lot of effects pedals, lyrics involving relationships and depression and vocals you can't really understand the lyrics too. Chck out My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins and Starflyer 59 for great examples of Shoegaze.

Shoegaze is tons better then Post-rock. Post-rock is good and all but Shoegaze has a charm it can't ever really match. Trust me dude, you'd like it. Hit me up on MSN sometimes, I'll give you some samples :P.

Since it was mentioned, when did Post-rock start? I just started getting into the genre and I would love some recommendations. Film-Guy

Post-rock has technically been around since the late 70's when Post-punk started. Great post rock bands that are aroudn now are Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky and GodSpeed You! Black Emperor, but Tri-edge is the real expert in the genre :lol:

It's all about Progressive Metal. Queensryche, Savatage, Porcupine Tree, and to a lesser extent Dream Theater, were amazing.Lord__Darkstorn

Porcupine tree wasnt really progressive metal until In Absentia came out, I guess Signify counts.

Post rock kinda reminds me of some of the more obscure and weird Progressive rock for some reason. Film-Guy

I consider Signify to be prog metal. Oh, can't forget Tool!

Black Metal in Norway.tzar3

There's even a saying among them that states " Norway knows how to make good metal, it's not without reason our country is shaped like a Electric guitar"

Flim Guy your Topics are always great.

Anyway, ill say old schoool hip-hop and rap were the golden years but underground has carried the torch from then to today.

House and Techno for me. The immortal Daft Punk

Also the funk of Jamirioquai.

Grunge FTW

Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Everclear, Soundgarden, STP, Alice in Chains, Temple of the Dog...what more evidence do you need?

They did that incredible album Light of day, day of darkness. Just one track that lasts a whole hour, ridiculous and over the top sure but its still great.

For me it was the time of IDM. Artists like Aphex Twin, Autechre and Squarepusher defined the genre in the 90's with some amazing releases and Warp Records was unmatched in quality.

And imo dance topped in that period as well. Artists like Orbital, Future Sound of London and Underworld are still my favorites.

Autechre in '94 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJnKvaGYzes

Ska's third wave movement really gathered steam in the 90s.

Shame I only caught up with it a few years ago and am still doing so now. :lol:

Grunge was the best music movement of the 90's.

luke1889

Yeah I forgot about the third wave movement...it was okay, I guess, but I found frist wave Jamaican and 2-tone to be superior :D.

There is no best....depends on what you like. Obviously grunge had the most impact....but again best is debatable.LJS9502_basic

I meant the one you liked the most personally.

I thought shoegaze started in the 80s?

Although the best shoegaze album was released in '91 (Loveless by MBV)

During the 90s, I enjoyed the rise of christian rock (Jars of clay, DC-Talk, Creed to some extent), but I was hardcore christian then, and had no exposure to secular music. I remember my music teacher handing out worksheets in 8th grade that basically said if we listened to nirvana we would kill ourselves like cobaine so I was terrified of them.... Those bands saved my life from the terrible Christian music at the time and led me to the larger arena of music. superheromonkey

I was never into Christian music, Creed irritates me for some reason.

Well, nowadays, I think Christians have some formidable bands, thanks to the early ninety artists) in the form of As I Lay Dying, Underoath, Norma Jean, the showdown, tourniquet (though they are old as dirt), Demon Hunter, etc...and others

P.S. I was always annoyed with the fact that everyone hated creed, but I am comfortable enough to say I was and still am a fan of them and alter bridge now. (Tremonti solos are awesome)

Yes Shoegaze did start in the 80's but it didn't become brilliant until the 90's :).
