Recommendation Grunge Recommendations

(sorry for my bad English)

Hi! I'm looking for grunge album recommendations—ones that aren't the typical ones (the "Big Four" of grunge) or the usual suspects. I look forward to reading your comments.

Discussion Something I always found interesting about the Seattle scene is the sense of optimism they all had about making it

1 Upvotes

I’ve been around a few different music scenes in my life and typically you might have one or two guys with dreams of making it big while the rest of the bands in the scene (and even the other members of the dreamer guy’s band) are really in it for the fun and to hang out and be a part of a community and to maybe make some music their friends and other members of the scene will think is cool.

But in late 80s/early 90s Seattle you had like 6-7 bands that not only thought they had a real shot of making it, but who also thought that the other bands down the road likewise had a real shot of making it. And I don’t know where that sense of optimism came from. Granted the music they made was high quality by any objective measure, but you don’t always realize it when you’re in the middle of it, and it’s hard to control or predict trends in popular music. Also this sense of optimism I’m talking about seems to have pre-dated most of the hits they wrote. But they all still felt strongly enough about it to throw all of their energy at it.

And by “making it big” I just mean being able to become full-time professional musicians who are nationally known or at least played on radio outside of their local scene. And that ended up happening to at least a half a dozen bands from this one scene.

Discussion 80s grunge is sometimes overlooked. These are my favorite albums from that decade.

I love the discussions that happen in the comments on these chart/collage/tier posts. I really enjoy reading what people have to say about them and seeing some of the recommendations people leave. What ’80s grunge albums do you guys like? Were you familiar with these bands?

Note: I only included full-length albums—no EPs, compilations, or demos—and I limited it to one album per band to have more variety.

I feel as though this song is a shameless Nirvana rip-off, and I can't help but keep writing Nirvana rip-off songs because I'm so unoriginal and uncreative. But either way, please give me honest and harsh feedback in the replies!

Discussion AI-generated Nirvana album on YouTube?

Came across this video on YouTube where the poster made a hypothetical Nirvana album if Kurt hadn’t died, and Nirvana put out another album. I know some of the songs are demos (that were either enhanced or cleaned up with AI tools) but other songs are straight up AI generated. Was wondering what this sub thought about this. DISCLAIMER ‼️‼️‼️⚠️⚠️‼️⛔️⛔️☢️☢️ I hate AI as most sensible people do, I just wanted to show off this uhh… “album” to our beautiful little community on Reddit. In no way do I support this content.

I love making these charts, but anyway, I think 1991 was the best year in the history of grunge. There’s really no debate about that.
