Re: Rock Hall of Fame 2024 nominees announced

The only “slam dunk” on that list for me is Oasis. HUGE draw everywhere but the US/Canada. The face of an entire movement: Britpop. Basically what Nirvana is to grunge Oasis is to britpop. The Gallagher brothers are rock n roll through and through, and should have been inducted 5 years ago. If/when ...

Well, I’ll break from the pack and say that, yes, they are one of the best bands of the ‘10’s. Jay Buchanan is a fucking great singer and Scott Holiday rips on the guitar.

Re: A 90's STAND OUT GRUNGE BAND ... Silverchair from Australia... one of THE best bands of the 90's... hands down!

Diorama and Young Modern are masterpiece albums, and then you add that they were pretty much exclusively composed by one dude in his late teens/early 20s. This, though I rank Diorama a bit higher but not by much. Saw them in ‘96 opening for the Chili Peppers. Really wished I had seen them in ‘01-‘0...
