I remember gathering around the tv, a big wood encased behemoth that you had to dial in every channel and when you changed the channel, it'd go ca-chunk ca-chunk ca-chunk, with a herd of friends to watch the debut of that video. After the glut of hair bands and GnR, it was pretty refreshing. Thought the album was strong tho I didn't particularly like their work before or after.
Oh, it was. I saw a bunch of amazing concerts in the 90's. Even the mainstream stuff that I wasn't a huge fan of sounds way better then any of the mainstream garbage of today. But yes, alot of great obscure bands that went under the radar.
