all those big rawk hesher bands from Seattle sucked. Under the surface there were some great northwest punk bands that just never made it. Pearl Jam is the perfect example of the worst in Seattle 90's music scene. Its shit like that that made Kurt Cobain blow his brains out (with Courtney's help, of course).

    Under the surface there were some even shittier northwest punk bands (i.e. Gas Huffer) that thankfully never made it.

    I remember seeing Seaweed in concert at a fucking warehouse in West Philly back in the day. They were pretty good.

    I saw Gas Huffer open for Mudhoney once and even though the music sucked, i was transfixed at the singer's very bizarre dance...kind of a stomping in place with his cheeks puffed out, arms puniching back and forth eyes rolled up into his head and shaking his head as if saying "hell no"...


    sadly NO Seattle band will ever live up to the greatest Seattle band ever:




    and, oh yeah, Jimi Hendrix

    No way, Deadmoon was shitty, Gashuffer was fun. But your right I wouldnt put them on the top of the list. But the Fastbacks and the Fallouts should have made it.

    Not many bands from OUTSIDE Seattle will ever live up to The Sonics either.

    As for Hendrix, well he's just in another fucking building.

    Yeah for real... when I was 13 we used to go see Seaweed at the grange hall in LaConner, WA. 7 Year Bitch were the other local heros.

    Gas Huffer always seemed like posers, but Sunny Day Real Estate were the opening salvo of the continuing barrage of indie whiners.

    you just mentioned the best Seattle band of that era, though - MUDHONEY.
