The 90s thread

[Plugger35]

No, did you?

You look at the real stories being told in cinema in the 80s, compared to nineties.

Just look at your favourite actors who worked through both decades. How their movies changed
someone brought the Trash in.

Look at acdc, killed the eighties, but like all the big names of the eighties, they bombed out through the next decade.

Everything went to s**t in the nineties.

We had our best ever prime minister in the 90s and we replaced him with our worst ever, our head of state implicated in the death of our next Kings mother.

It is what it is

ACDC's last big album was released in the 90s.




Music was great in both the 80s and 90s but if I had to choose which decade was better music wise I would go with the 90s.

There was plenty of great films released in the 90s too so I wouldn't necessarily say that cinema was better in the 80s either.

 

[Procrastinator35]

You procrastinated too long before thinking it through and instead posted.

The imf did a study on Australian government's from 57 to 07 Nd found the four worst economic years were under Howard and cOstello. Within a few years of them Being replaced, this country's economy was back to where keating had it

The moment Howard's mob got back in, the econiomy went to s**t again. If that's not enuff for you, when that mob was in from 78 till 82, Howard as treasurer, it was the same fracking s**t

it doesn't say much for the Australian. They vote for the party that lies to them and steals there Money, ruins their land, their communities, their way of life, their education, their health.

Well, I'd rather procrastinate than give a long-Winded answer that doesn't address the question directly at all....But dances around it, with skirts a flailing.

I'm assuming you're speaking of P.K....He was certainly colourful & majestic, though not a patch on Whitlam.

Title song written in the 80s hahahaha

But wait, there is more.

Acdc released around 5 killer albums in the 80s,.the best selling ever in 1980. There's an argument for all five being their best ever, but there is one in the 90s that stacks ups

Guns and roses and bon Jovi also died out in the 90s, michael jsckson slowed down.

It is what it is.

Gough was many things, but keating was a genius with a big heart. Gough only an idealist.

Thank god for that, Bon Jovi were sh*t even at their peak in the 80s.

Seinfeld was the best
90210 as a young fella

Seinfeld was my favourite tv show back then and it still is today, I'm actually watching the Penske File episode right now on 10 Peach.

 

[revo333]

It is what it is.

It's no different from the artists in the 70's whose worse stuff was done in the 80's.

 

[Leon]

Don’t forget your toothbrush and Gladiators, some good pure trash TV shows from the 90’s sadly gone these days.

Tell that to queen or Paul McCartney, John lennon reached true fame in the 80s. Then there's Bruce Springsteen, never warmed up until the 80s. They all Peaked in the 80s and gone by the 90s.

Acid trips and music festivals alternate nation summersalt homebake vans warped tour big day out when it was good
Used to love taking a sheet of trips from adelaide up to Sydney and quadrupling my outlay

Drugs were always cheaper in Adelaide and of a higher quality. Except for speed. Melbourne speed was renowned nationwide.

 

[Del191229]

How many times has this classic bassline been ripped off since?

The 90s delivered an era of genuinely new and groundbreaking music.

Laughable!, Lennon died in 1980.

Springsteen had 'secret garden' and 'streets of philadelphia' in the 90's, both tracks were all over radio and tv.

 

[Del191229]

Also this "Springsteen never warmed up until the 80s" - jeeeezus.

Little Graham is a proven moron.

While he released four albums in the 70s, it wasn't until the 80s until he was more widely recognised.

He peaked commercially in the 80s. The River gained a lot of traction, and by the time BIT USA was released and soaked up by the public, he was a global superstar. It is the album that shot him to superstardom. It was his first proper "world tour" where he was playing stadiums, rather than arenas.

The 90s was a downturn for him, partially, due to breaking up the E-Street Band. When he brought the band back together at the end of the decade, the train roared on again with the Reunion Tour.

The 00s saw a steady return to touring, which included world tours in 02/03, 05/06, 07/08/09, 11/12, 13/14, 16/17

Given that he is 70 next month, and played 236 shows on Broadway from 2017-2018, which grossed over US$100m, and Netflix paid US$20m for exclusivity rights, it is unlikely.

His longevity can't really be questioned.

Born to Run...

 

[Cruyff14]

Born to Run...

For me it will forever be his greatest album.

I'll take this four albums in the 70s over his four 80s albums every day of the week.

But BIT USA shot him into another stratosphere.

Yes you are correct, He blew up big time and history backs it up.

My first post was taking about quality of music and then the person mentioned Springsteen.

I think his 70s albums stack up as his best. Though MANY love The River. His post 2000 stuff is fantastic.

The 90s was definitely the weakest part of his catalogue, though, still yielded some great tracks.

This is actually a little creepy looking back on now but this guy was a legend.

Like this one, sums up cable tv in the States perfectly.




Springsteen was huge in the 80s with Born in the USA but I never got into that album because it was too polished, over commercialised and overplayed.

It was similar to Dire Straits Brothers in Arms album which I didn't like much either for the same reasons, I preferred their stuff from the 70s and early 80s.

To be fair, so are you on most things.

Carn. Apart from my pathological disgust for North Melbourne's existence in the AFL, I reckon SLF and I would be mates...... although I kind of think you may have been a bit like the 90's version of Silent Alarm, but 20 something know it alls are probably more palatable when you are in your 20s.
