THE GREATEST DECADE EVER.
The most celebrated radio station in the free world had its countdown of the best albums/artists of the decade known as the 90s. Seattle's own KCMU asked the public to vote for this and it was one perfect countdown. Once all the fat was trimmed (one local label which shall remain anonymous thought it would be cute to vote for all 5 or 6 artists on their label. Which is insulting on many levels, but the worst level is the one where they actually think we wouldnt notice!). It was a very complete, informative look at this wonderful decade of music. We must no forget there were also many, MANY examples of what was wrong with this decade and we here at The Deathbag couldnt let this year end without bitching and moaning about what was wrong with the decade that brought us an Mtv that no longer actually SHOWS videos, an ex-Menudo/Soap Opera star who will be on everyones worst of lists as soon as everyone figures out he is the anti-Christ, bands and artists who preach the indie life style and sell their music to Miller Beer for $180,000 (and dont think that indie didnt get a cut!) and a very disturbing trend of new bands that are ripping off artists I listened to growing up and I'm only 26 freaking years old! And then there was Hanson and Silverchair. ( The third and fourth sign of the apocolypse... )
