And yes, this is Live-related because Live is one of the bands in this bracket.

Get ready for some teeth grinders...

Btw, the video for the RHCP was mistakenly posted as the video for Stone Temple Pilots. There's actually a few screw ups with the videos.

with the exception of King's X, all of those bands in the bracket were really mainstream and had a ton of radio play. I'm surprised that folks wouldn't be familiar with them. I suppose if you were too young during the decade then some might be unheard of, but these bands were pretty much staples of modern rock / alternative radio stations during the 90s, at least in the USA.

Look at the flag under my avatar.

Do you know what country it belongs to?

If not, let me tell you one thing: it is Russia. Everything mainstream in the US was so rare in Russia, that you can hardly imagine. When I was 13, I went to my first good grunge fest. There were about 200 people there, moshing with the bands, stagediving, crowdsurfing etc. Those were the days. I saw a lot of people in great tshirts that said Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains. T'was 1996. Since then I tried to find some pirate tapes with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. They have been my fave bands eversince.

But any of those bands whch got a ton of radioplay over in the US or even Europe... well, some of those still say nothing to me. You can not imagine how much I fought to get through to the music I liked. But the victory is won. If I have not, I would have not been here, making friends with the guys from different places all over the world, crying when my fave band gets together again. No. I would have been spinning some Backstreet Boys Cd I bought at school and be happy
