It’s not even my fave era of Nick Cave, but Murder Ballads > The Bends, that’s one of his weaker offerings tbh (but 90s + alt rock meant that was the only logical choice I had).

90s was heyday lofi. Pavement/Built to Spill/Modest Mouse when they were good/early Mercury Rev/all the best Flaming Lips albums, Polvo, a handful of A minus tier Sonic Youth albs, early Mercury Rev, Hum (who tbqh are basically heavy alt rock), Siamese Dream/Grace [123] mmm yeah it's a yank scene
i don't rly count 90s Cave as alt rock, but respect those who do and would add that most his key records from that time lean p heavily (and for the better!) on yank mythos as has been pointed out however many times
would also probs put Japan about on par with 90s Brit-alt courtesy of Bloodthirsty Butchers/Number Girl/Supercar, but their 00s rock decade stampeded everyone else's (partially as a result of having moved on and left saps like Julian Casablancas and that fuck from the Libertines holding the reins but)

I don't really care if there were a bunch of better albums, there's still a whole lot of great songs on the bends. It's a solid 4. I'd much rather listen to it than Nick Cave chewing the scenery for 60 minutes

🤔 well as Johnny alludes to, Nick Cave often isn’t really alt rock, but you can make an argument for his music to have such a flavour from the mid-90s onwards (from the four albums I’ve heard beyond that point anyway)
stupid comparison overall tho tbf, wasn’t my intention

Nobody gave the first fuck about Modest Bastard Mouse in the 90s

Zak what are the top five 90s bands that people only started listening to/caring about after the 90s finished?
Modest Mouse definitely in there. Neutral Milk Hotel? Failure? Bjork... (little joke there)?

Doof. From the perspective of what is presented on sput do you remember anybody listening to Death or seeing the old metal patches of that band anywhere?

Doof that might be a UK perspective I'm pretty sure the us indie scene was aware of modest mouse. Even I had heard of them and I was in an indie wasteland

Classic :D
I do not.
I don't think I ever read a thing in print about Death in any of the metal rags either.
Opeth and Porcupine Tree were also invisible until after the 90s far as i can tell - again read nothing about them and don't remember the album covers (the big photographic memory test - I mean even now I'lll remember each NOFX album sleeve despite never listening to them in the 90s etc)

Lmao shock horror two American indie albums didn't cross the pond until the age of the internet

fogza - I think what Zak is saying is they weren't really 'in the discussion' considering that now they're considered a huge indie act
in the 90s they were about the level of Soul Coughing in terms of being around, dunno, never saw them pushed commercially or talked about or anything

Definitely porcupine tree.
I do have a very hazy image of Opeth but yep absolutely no way were they a thing in the 90s
Lot of underground American hardcore stuff that was a thing then doesn’t get a mention now. Gorilla biscuits, Earth crisis and people like that.

Kompys it would still have permeated the culture. People would’ve known about ‘em, they would have been discussed on some level to some degree.

Nick Cave has good concepts and lyrics but he has really boring musical ideas.

Doesn't really factor into whether LCW is a better record than the Bends though
