No, I dunno how I would classify them. Just pop rock???? I dunno...




To answer the OP, absolutely. Also, SM's new album might be my favorite of his since his debut.

there are so many good '90s rock bands — superchunk, silkworm, dinosaur jr., sebadoh, guided by voices

pavement is in there, too. i give their fans a load of grief, but i can't deny crcr's greatness.

to me, 90s rock got so weird in the middle of the decade. i was listening to shudder to think today. i don't know how the fuc that band got on a major label. songs are so weird.

Pavement or Archers of Loaf would be my pick for best 90s indie band. Unless Fugazi counts, but I don't think that's what people are thinking of when they say 90s indie.

I'm a Slanted and Enchanted guy, but I'll go against the grain and say my second favorite record of theirs is Brighten to the Corners. That album does not get enough love. It's great.

ETA: I love to Shudder to Think and I'm stunned anyone would sign a band from Dischord and expect that to go well for them. I think that was a "we can't sign Fugazi" kind of thing.
