Top products from r/grunge

Haven't read that one but I did read Mark Yarm's "Everybody Loves Our Town"(http://www.amazon.com/Everybody-Loves-Our-Town-History/dp/0307464431/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c). I enjoyed it very much, not much picture material but the interviews and personal memories were great.

I got lucky and found it at Best Buy for like 15 bucks when it was re-release in the early 2000s

With my copy, the disc is in about 9/10 condition, but the case is pretty scratched up. Been to a few dorms, off campus houses, fraternity house, and 2 homes since I bought it haha.

Funny to think they were roommates.


In case nobody has seen it, Amazon has a Malfunkshun Documentary thats pretty awesome for early Andy/MLB

It seems like following yesterday's Core promotion, they decided to cut down on the prices of some awesome grunge albums.

Black Gives Way to Blue is at $5, these two albums for $10 are a great deal for anyone here who hasn't gotten their hands on them yet.

If you're specifically looking for grunge, and you havent explored the big 4, they are the place to start.

Soundgarden is my favourite, mainly because, in my opinion, they were the most experimental and rhythmically interesting out of the bunch (and effective odd time signature usage gets me excited). Also Cornell was a stone cold genius.

After the big 4, expand out into the others people have mentioned (plus Silverchair's first two albums, Frogstomp and Freak Show).

ALSO, if you're interested in the history and backstories, I hiiiiiighly recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Everybody-Loves-Our-Town-History/dp/030746444X


Blurb:
>"Drawn from more than 250 new interviews—with members of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees, Hole, Melvins, Mudhoney, Green River, Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Mad Season, L7, Babes in Toyland, 7 Year Bitch, TAD, the U-Men, Candlebox and many more—and featuring previously untold stories and never-before-published photographs, Everybody Loves Our Town is at once a moving, funny, lurid, and hugely insightful portrait of an extraordinary musical era."

I would recommend Everybody Loves Our Town. There is also a preview of a few chapters on Google Books.

TADZIO used to be a Nirvana cover band and they maintain a strong grunge sound. Their first album is especially raw.

It was a bootleg-only track until the box set came out a couple of years ago.

It’s one of my favorites.

I don't happen to own this, but I believe it might be what OP is referring to!

Got mine on Etsy tho

This is the only thing i found. 28$ for one cd. I've spent more to import obscure music.

Cornell's death has come 25 years after the end of Grunge.

By late 93/early 94 with the release of In Utero, Vs., Jar of Flies, the bands involved in the scene of 90, 91,92, had all moved on musically.

Pick up a copy of this book, a great book about grunge from the people who were there at the time
