Aussie Crawl is a great band. I have over 400 artist playlists in my collection, and they are among the few that I enjoy every song on the list from.
One of Melbourne's finest.

Jump is good but more radio friendly because of the keyboard added.Jump has aged surprisingly well with me. In my VH phase it was really just one of many hits from them, but I nowadays find that I'm always in the mood for it whereas my other faves from them have long fluctuated (except the evergreen Love Walks In which always had its particular place for me).
Eye of Tiger is awesome as just makes you think of 1982 instantly and what you were doing then.Totally agree with American Pie and Eye Of The Tiger.
I quite like the Beach Boys, although their output was a little inconsistent.
I've never heard a Kanye West song, at least I think that's the case, it may have appeared in a commercial or something, but how would I know.
Back to Kiss, I only just discovered A e Frehleys cover of New York Groove and it’s amazing. Why wasn’t this a bigger song.

This bothers me as well sometimes.Agree to a certain extent, The problem with radio is some stations don't tell you the songs that have just been played and often I have heard a song I really liked and then tried to remember the lyrics or go to the stations website for a playlist, only to never find out what the song was and never ever getting to hear it again.
This bothers me as well sometimes.
But between texting the station, playlists online, or just remembering parts of the lyrics and doing a search, you should be able to find any track if the host doesnt give you all the details.

Diorama doesn’t sound anything like Frogstomp though. They still use distortion in parts I guess? But they’d starting using it much more constructively.
Reckon adding that layer of distortion in Miss You Love (on Neon Ballroom) is probably the most tasteful and best example of them managing to integrate buzzy guitars into their increasingly baroque sound.
Young Modern to me just stretched their experimentation too far, and was pretty bland because of it. I know Daniel Johns is now working with Luke Steele in Dreams, and they’ve largely taken the spirit of YM but made music that’s more dancey and beat-oriented and it sounds awful to my ears.
Still reckon Silverchairs peak was either Diorama or Neon Ballroom.
The Dissociatives album was as good as anything Silverchair put out
We need more hate of sh*t like Kiss with Shandi.
Thread has gone off rails.
FFS, we could not be more in disagreement.Great song off a superb album. One of KISS' best.

ha ha
Having said that, it would be boring if we all liked the same thing.
I do not know even know what this is...lolI might go 2 from 2 here : “The Oath” off The Elder is one of their greatest ever songs.
I do not know even know what this is...lol
I'm seriousNot sure if you’re serious but….The Elder is the follow-up to Unmasked.
I'm serious

Alice in Chains is the best of the Big Four grunge bands, with Nirvana a close second.
Of course, this is a matter of taste, but here's why I prefer them over the other four:
- Heaviness (really a heavy metal band which appropriated elements of hair metal and grunge to create something terrific)
- Songwriting (they rarely wasted a note, especially after the relatively uneven Facelift)
- Jerry Cantrell (his vocal harmonics with Staley gave Alice in Chains both a pop sensibility while infusing their music with an unnerving haunting quality that reflected the dark nature of the music underpinning it, not to mention that he was a master of conjuring creative riffs while using the fewest notes possible - he's just an OK lead vocalist, though)
- Layne Staley (probably only the 3rd best grunge vocalist, but he is nonetheless real good. His screams in Man In The Box send that song into another stratosphere, his plaintive cries on Nutshell turn that song from an emo song into a documentation of an ongoing personal tragedy, and his baritone burr just adds to the dark, heavy, haunting nature of the music)
Their rhythm section was good, but not the standout. Inez/Starr could hold their own, but Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam) and Ben Shepherd (Soungarden) were IMO better. Sean Kinney could certainly hold a beat, but he's well behind Grohl/Cameron, and probably on par with someone like Jack Irons.
Nirvana are great, and obviously I can't begrudge people preferring them - but as good as their songwriting and lyrics were (when Cobain was interested), technically (Grohl aside) they weren't much to write home about. I feel that he was a negative influence as a guitarist, because he has inspired a generation or two of largely talentless power chord merchants.
As for the others in the Big Four, quoting one of my old posts:
Stone Temple Pilots were sometimes included. Scott Weiland was a talented, versatile vocalist with impressive power and range (if not originality) - I'd rank him well ahead of Cobain but probably behind Staley. Their guitarist and drummer were decent, but not outstanding. The drummer IMO isn't as good as the Big 4 drummers, and technically I'd place their guitarist behind everyone except Cobain (who wins on influence anyway).
This is fair but Kurt while not a virtuoso guitarist, had a gift for melody and chord progressions that i don’t think any other musician in the time since he was active has gotten close to
Kurt was an ok guitar player but a great songwriter. No need for him to play like John Petrucci, as long as he could play what he wrote that's all that matters.
