Blame Nirvana: 40 weirdest post-Nevermind major label albums

Pretty great click-through list of 40 albums that the major labels released in the post-Nirvana haste to find the next big band.

The amount of these records that I own or owned at some time is staggering. A lot of that is because of SY and the scenes they intro'd me to. I still listen fairly regularly to the Tad, Drive Like Jehu, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and Babes in Toyland records.

I saw Babes In Toyland at a show once... cannot remember where or why. I think at the Masquerade, must've opened for someone. Did one of them play an electric banjo?

I'm about halfway through the list.

Haven't heard any of these albums, and only recognize a couple of them.
I'm taking notes.

*Edit* Finally stumbled upon an album I own and love, good ol Disco Volante!

Hmmm...don't remember any of them doing that.

Some good stuff on that list, for sure. Boces, Disco Volante, and Yank Crime and some all-time favorites.

I love late-'90s Boredoms but have never been crazy about earlier stuff like Pop Tatari. It's definitely weird, but I don't know if it's the weirdest thing on that list.

At least half of these I know nothing about so I'm taking note on a few things. Pretty good idea for a list, honestly.

I thought it was a pretty cool idea as well. Nirvana was a watershed moment--so its cool to look back and what occurred to the music industry because of them.

this list is awesome!

I still have the Fudge Tunnel - Creep Diets CD I bought in '93!
Quote:
Fudge Tunnel - Creep Diets (Earache/Columbia, 1993)

Part of the same Earache Records licensing deal that landed Napalm Death on Columbia for a spell, Fudge Tunnel was Earache's noise-rock contender, just as Godflesh was their foray into industrial. But with its indiscriminate blasts of feedback, fuzzed-beyond-belief guitars, and Mudhoney-via-Metallica grooves, Creep Diets was one of the more abrasive noise-rock endeavors of the era, landing closer to the fare offered by its extreme-metal labelmates and making contemporaries like Helmet and Therapy? sound like lightweights. Bonus: Fronted by future producer/mixer extraordinaire Alex Newport (Death Cab for Cutie, Mars Volta).

I remember me and my buddy always used to laugh at that Butt Trumpet record in Camelot Music and we always wondered how bad it could be...

I saw Fudge Tunnel opening for some metal band at the Glasgow Barrowlands. It may have been Pantera. I remember they had the stage bathed in green light for the entire set.

I was chaperoning my little brother and his daft head banging friend Gary.
