Um Californication with Kiedis writing amazing lyrics while getting loaded on heroin during the creative process was pretty damn good IMO. I think you are in the minority there.

And Pearl Jam still ****ing rocks so blow me.

I loved Mother's Milk, but I thought BSSM was better.

Consistent with what, exactly? Guys dying from heroin overdoses? Changing drummers every other year? Changing guitarists every album?

U2 released their first album in 1980. Their heyday was during the 80's, not the 90's.

Too fat.

.

I thought Chad Smith has been their drummer since the late '80s. Now it does seem that they have a new guitarists every album.

Over the long haul I'd say Perl Jam and Nirvana/Foo Fighters were the best of the 90's...

Seems like the flameout rate is large for alot of those early to mid 90s bands..

Nahhh most of them have had an OD problem.

Good luck with that.

They'll be buying him smack to get him back making them money in a few years just like they always do.

Saw STP live a couple years ago when they reunited, and they were surprisingly good. I'd heard stories of how they sucked lived, but they killed that night. Tons of energy, and played all their best stuff to perfection.

AIC last album lacked in two areas for me, inspired song writting (some of the lyrics and melodies were painfully bad), and their signature rhythms. As bass player I admire Mike Inez, but he and the drummer mailed in their performances. Instead of their simple groove with a hint of tribal-esque. beats they played straight boring rhythms. It just wasn't AIC for me.

After hearing Check My Brain on the radio I, too, bought the album when it came out. I guess I was expecting a new, edgy AIC album. It just seemed to be lacking something. I hardly ever listen to it any more.
