Top 10 Bands of the 90's
When one read's or watches a "traditional" best bands of all time list, the assumptions get unquestioned. What happens is that people who profess to be "music listeners" accept these lists without ever asking themselves "Why the fuck should I listen to anything VH1 says". When one list "argues" for its content, others will follow suit without ever questioning the quality of the bands on the list. This being utterly lost and absorbed in the publicness of the "they" solidifies the image of bands and best bands for decades and maybe even century's to come. For example, you will get a "traditional" barrage of answers on what the best bands from the 90's are from people who don't realize they are simply restating what they saw or read on the most public of public media. Certain bands get ingrained in peoples heads as "clearly the best band of the 90's", even without these people realizing that they themselves, NEVER LISTEN TO THESE BANDS! Another unctuous platitude comes in the way of "well, you have to include 'such and such' when doing a greatest bands of the 90's list" striking an imperative command that is far and away from anything that's actually happening in the music. It's with this in mind that Old-Wizard has decided to explore the greatest bands of the 90's without out any tendention and without ANY "help" from outside sources. As avid music listeners ourselves, we trust our instincts over and above the people who will get angry at not including a certain band on the list because it doesn't unconsciously remind them of the latest list in a hackneyed "Rolling Stone" issue. It's important for the reader to realize this before they jump into any vexation regarding this list. It's important for the reader to realize, that they should get angry at a list because it doesn't include a band they actually LISTEN to, not because it doesn't follow suit with "traditional" lists. Let's get started.
