I was born in 1977 so the 90's were my hay day I guess you could say & I truly think the 90's was also the last era for actual music also. That's also when Much Music also showed actual music videos. I remember rushing home from high school to watch 'The Power Hour' which was a heavy metal show in Much Music & then it changed to 'The Power 30' & then 'Loud'. But I have my younger relatives that are in their teenage years now say to me oh your so lucky to have grown up in the 90's with all that great music, it must have been so cool to have been in that? & when I think back there right,it was a very special time for music. I'm in Canada so not only was bands like Bush,Collective Soul.Live,SilverChair,Green Day,Pearl Jam,SoundGarden,Nirvana,Seven Mary Three,etc big but in Canada at the time we had some really great alternative acts of our own that were really awesome if not better than those bands I mentioned like The Tea Party,I Mother Earth,Sloan,Our Lady Peace,Tragically Hip,Big Sugar,54-40,Econoline Crush,Killjoys,The Gandharvas,Age of Electric,Limblifter,Big Wreck,Thornley,The Watchmen,Cowboy Junkies,Moist,Matthew Good Band,Rusty,Treble Charger,Wide Mouth Mason,Out Of Your Mouth,Sandbox,Slowburn,Glueleg,Salmonblaster,The Inbreds,Pluto,The Headstones,Eric's Trip,Northern Pikes,Pursuit of Happiness,The Grapes Of Wrath,Rush,etc. I know I went on a tirade there with name dropping but those Canadian bands were huge in the 90's here in Canada & some of those bands had some success in the States & Europe etc as well like I Mother Earth,Our Lady Peace,Rush. But for some reason these bands that are huge here in Canada just can't break into the States for some reason? Like The Tragically Hip who are huge here in Canada could never break into the States. They've got some fans on the border cities like Buffalo & Detroit & they played Saturday Night Live in the 90's & I thought that would help their cause but it did nothing for them in the long term in the States. But they are Gods here in Canada still. But Rush seemed to make it big with a lot of countries which is awesome for them. The Guess Who & BTO did well in the States as well.
