In 2023, certainly this is "dad" enough to be a fathers day poll, right? Grunge coattail riders! STP vs. Bush

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Poll says it all!

I saw STP three times and all with Scott.   Incredible shows.

 

No coattail riding here.

STP were more grunge than Pearl Jam.

[The Analog Cub]

STP is better...they succeeding in trying a bunch of different rock styles over the years. Core copied the living shit out of Pearl Jam but subsequent albums showed some expansion of their sound.

 

Bush is Nirvana-lite.

STP and PJ got me into alt rock and so it's Core.  RIP Scott.  Early Bush is hit or miss.  Greedy Fly is one hell of a video, though.

[blueschica]

Ok, full transparency, I like STP a lot and I am not familiar with Bush.  I will have to do some research tomorrow!  But for now I voted STP with Scott, what a great voice, what a challenged life. Sad story.

None of these bands really floated my boat tbh so I took the 'opt out' option and voted 'no choice' across the board.

Bush copied Nirvana (Grunge band) more obviously to me anyway. Maybe it's because I don't like Bush, preferring STP.  Silverchair are also there -on the Grunge bandwagon,  I kind of like them too. Gavins voice annoys me.

Silverchair weren't afraid to put metal in there just like Billy Corgan on some Smashing Pumpkins songs like Pissant, XYU and An Ode to No One.  Israel's Son gets quite heavy and brutal at the end.

They say life is stranger than fiction.  I'm listening to the workout version of the Lithium station on SiriusXM at Planet Fitness and right after Dead and Bloated plays, what comes next?  Everything Zen.

STP easily.

Bush is mediocre.

Yes this seems to be the general overall opinion
