Exceptional harmonies and vocal ability, and they had some really well-written songs. Music that people can relate to is important, whether it's "Holiday in Cambodia" or "I'll Make Love To You"--People wanna go, "Wow, me too!". Thanks for checking in.

You may want to reconsider your position on Nirvana. Truth is, at that exact time, highly superficial music was what had been in the mainstream for a long time. While that song itself may not be totally stellar, it is symbolic of a huge shift in popular music. By the way, Boyz II Men is nearly unlistenable, I wouldn't trip too hard about it. Ehh.

Wow, I touched a nerve huh? (none) To be fair, I don't mind Left Eye's verse at all. I give "Oooh..." the nod because I really liked that album. I happen to think "Creep", "Diggin' on you", and "Red Light Special" were all good songs. 'Has nothing really to do with the album not sounding like the first one. Boyyyy! @ S of G- Okay, I can appreciate that Nirvana breakdown. I just remember never being really impressed with them at all. The rest of the hostility was a result of me writing that post for 3 hours sitting on an uncomfortable computer chair. It's about time Hanson got some props! Even if the music they made was fluff, at least it was THEIR fluff and not corporate boardroom, pandering fluff. LMAO @ the Yung Ig verse. I didn't know the "Ice on my Nutz" mixtape leaked! <b>Thanks to Grumpy Phuque and sigga State O' for checking in!</b> LOL @ Phuque.. Wow, I touched a nerve huh?

TLC “Waterfalls”- Ugh. I hated this song. I get it, I get it. She’s got AIDS. Shyheim aka The Rugged Child gets shot. Awesome. It still wasn’t a good song. The beat was ehh, the lyrics and chorus were plodding, and it was sooo heavy handed. I think people only liked this song cuz they felt all smart when they figured out that “waterfalls” and “rivers and lakes that you’re used to” were metaphors. “Ooooh…On the TLC Tip” > “CrazySexyCool”. RIP Left Eye. ^^^ What in the blue FUCK. First off -- Lisa Lopes' best verse evar (it's even written on her gravestone). I can recite that shit word for word...and I'm damn proud of it. That song and video was one of the best joints they've ever done. That album was solid too....maybe not enough of the first album "sound" you wanted, but (surprise) Dallas Austin is a little bitch. I really can't believe you'd pick a fuckin' Backstreet Boys song over "Waterfalls"....wow.... *storms out of room in disgust* *no disrespect* 08. TLC “Waterfalls”- Ugh. I hated this song.

Way more Celines and Nickelbacks than Neil Youngs and The Bands. The ones on the list are SMILFy McLachlin, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Snow, Barenaked Ladies, and Alanis Morissette (who America never got to experience when she was just Alanis and singing Tiffany-worthy dance pop). I saw Oasis live last year. I can't really say everything that happened during the concert as it was all very, very illegal, but know that they put on a fucking good show. I love that Sinead O'Connor song. Way better than the Prince original. Those are strange words to say but anyone who's heard both knows it's true. As for Nirvana, the 80s was an era of pop megastars, with Prince, Madonna, and MJ being the holy trinity. Rock n' roll had become largely irrelevant and douchebags in eyeliner took glam rock to ridiculous levels forgetting that Bowie moved on after a few years. Pop metal was what made the charts, with Guns N' Roses being the band with more metal than pop (not to mention actual good songs) that got the biggest of all. But they were still rock stars in the iconic sense. Then along came three guys in flannel shirts, taking drugs and bashing the fuck out of their instruments, and they knocked MJ off the top of the charts and took rock n' roll in the opposite direction that Guns N' Roses had been taking it, back to the gritty, raw power of punk rock. So just like in the 70s when the original punks made loud, angry distorted music to rail against the overblown 20 minute progressive rock epics that had turned rock n' roll into a bloated pathetic mess, Nirvana represented a sea change in popular tastes. Pearl Jam wouldn't have been as huge had Eddie Vedder shot himself, (even though I would personally hold Eddie Vedder Is Dead! Parties every year to celebrate) because Nirvana created the path they drag their asses on like dogs on a carpet. As for influence, Nickelback, the worst thing Canada has EVER produced, has sold 7 million copies of their latest heap of shit by being really, really watered down Nirvana, going from quiet to loud but without any of the rawness. Nirvana is really emo, I'm a little surprised you were so against them. Emo doesn't have to mean soft and sensitive, Nirvana were emo in a way that evokes John Lennon's primal scream therapy in the early 70s, howling out anxieties. Of course, shortly before he offed himself they also recorded an unplugged album that was pretty emo, with candles, sweaters, and everything. Dave Grohl in a turtleneck if I recall correctly. Oh, and a few weeks ago I went grocery shopping kinda stoned and as I walked around the store over the speakers this song is playing and I notice I'm drumming along on my cart and bopping through the aisles for a bit before I realize what song it is. MMMBop. I despised the song and Hanson when they were popular, but then, I was a teenager into punk rock and it got played 500 times a day. Now, with years separating the last time I heard it, I was like "holy shit, those kids knew how to construct a fucking pop song!" It's ok though, because once I got in the car I threw on Yung Ig'nant's Ice On My Nutz mixtape to the track Swallow Deez Keedz. Sing along! Swallow deez keedz bitch Swallow deez keedz! Swallow deez keedz bitch Swallow deez keeds! If I skeet it near yo pussy Then ya might get preg'nant I ain't raising no keedz Bitch I'm Yung Ig'nant! Put my keedz in yo belly And I'll ice out yo necklace Might give you a pearl one If I'm feelin' reckless Got ice on my nutz So I can light up yo night You can call me the dentist bitch I'll make yo teeth white Snort cocaine off yo titties When I wanna get high Order you Chinese food Cream of Sum Yung Guy!

If I skeet it near yo pussy
Then ya might get preg’nant
I ain’t raising no keedz
Bitch I’m Yung Ig’nant!
Put my keedz in yo belly
And I’ll ice out yo necklace
Might give you a pearl one
If I’m feelin’ reckless
Got ice on my nutz
So I can light up yo night
You can call me the dentist bitch
I’ll make yo teeth white
Snort cocaine off yo titties
When I wanna get high
Order you Chinese food
Cream of Sum Yung Guy! Ha!
