^ Dude. Both Sublime and the Stone Temple Pilots have been disbanded for years (though wikipedia says STP has a reunion tour this year). And the Pixies were also disbanded for the greater part of these kids lives.

And plus Ryan Adams is still going strong, getting his dick sucked by Elton John and Adam Duritz from the Counting Crows (they got it on tape in an unedited version of the video for "Answering Bell").

STFU N00b. j/k.

oh yeah and fuck ryan adams. he all but did all he could to avoid NC for the better part of five years after whiskeytown. not to mention he seems like a total prick.

Yah, he does seem like a total prick. I heard someone hollared "play Summer of '69" at one of his concerts (joking on the fact his name is similar to Bryan Adams) and Adams jerked the guy up on stage, gave him enough money to cover his ticket, and told him to leave.

But pricks can make good music too. Look at Bob Dylan.

SPOT ON.

I do not claim today's "music" as the story of my youth. I don't think I even own an album that was made after 1989.

"Stranger's Almanac" Deluxe Edition came out today

And I actually will probably be nostalgic about Whiskeytown and Ryan Adams. Also the grunge-era. But I kinda grew up on the line between grunge and tween pop.
