It's an early start this morning so I thought I'd start the day with something very, very dark. I'm a big fan of Chelsea Wolfe

Just because it wasn't your thing doesn't mean it wasn't significant. I can't stand Elvis but I'm not dumb enough to say he wasn't incredibly important in the history of music. I don't think Nevermind was Nirvana's best album and I don't think Nirvana were the best grunge band but Nevermind was the album that really started the explosion of grunge in the early 90's. If it wasn't for that record I think grunge would have remained an underground genre and just another branch of punk

The bar is low - whizzed Jeans

Lesbian Seagull - Englebert Humpadink

Woman - Wolfmother

Am I evil - Metallica

Is that a Gibson Telecaster? (Pointing at Rickenbacker bass) Can I play it for a song? I once stood in for Keith Moon on guitar with Aerosmith on the slipery when wet tour.

Withered Hand Of Evil - Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats

Sweet Leaf - Black Sabbath

Breathe - Prodigy

Black Sabbath - Never Say Die? Not their best work.

My vagina - NOFX

Where is my mind - Pixies

That's true. It was quite a bleak time for music with the tail end of nu metal and pop punk combined with the extreme blandness churned out from TV "talent" shows which seemed to be eon by whoever got get the most notes in each syllable. Having said the, there was some great music coming out of the southern US stoner, sludge and doom metal scenes in the early 2000's

65000000 kg is a bit heavy for me. I'd need one of these to get it to gigs or rehearsal and they'd best be on the ground floor

Stupid Girl - Garbage

Nice and Sleazy - Stranglers

Rocket Skates by Deftones is a great song which only uses the low B on my 5 string.

You're clearly wrong, 1993 - 1998 was far better despite including Spice Girls and Limp Bizkit.

I think something that's fairly clear is each generation thinks their generations music was the best and anything that came after then was inferior. I think this is because you associate that music with a time when you were young, everything was great and you were still attractive to people of the opposite (or same if that's your thing) sex.

They went on between Sepultura and Pantera but they were obviously completely wasted and were just terrible and then threw a tantrum and walked off. I think they'd give up before they came on.

Kurt Cobain was just one person. I don't personally think Nirvana were the best representatives of grunge, Mudhoney, Tad and Melvins were far, far better live and their shows were just non stop explosive energy. GNR were pretty much done by then, they'd passed their peak and were on to thar awful punk covers album which was just crap. I saw Aerosmith live at Donnington monsters of rock in 1994 and they're good but those power ballads really get boring quickly. We decided it was time to go for a burger about 20 minutes in to their set. On the bright side, they were infinitely better than Extreme who absolutely bombed

It was the live shows where grunge really beat hair metal. Instead of a fat, coke fueled ego squeezed in to leather trousers and topped with 5 cans of hair spray muddling their way through songs they could barely remember the words to grunge bands had energy, and so did their audience. It brought back the live energy of hardcore punk. They didn't need elaborate stage sets and pyrotechnics to make up for when the coke wore off five songs in to the set.

I think the point is that five incredibly influential rock albums were all released on one day. They may not have been significant to you but all of them were historically important. Has there ever been another single day when four or five very influential records were released?

Another significant album released on 24th September 1991 was Wretch by Kyuss. Certainly not their best work and not a great record but it was the first stoner metal record from the Palm Springs desert scene which lead to so many great albums
