Remember, it was bands like this who put your Snow Patrols, Linkin Parks, and Incubus's where they are today. If it wasn't for these grunge bands getting this sound out there, Pop and Gangsta Rap would have taken over the airwaves... Would you have really wanted that? Nah, I didn't think so.

1) pop and gangsta rap did take over the airwaves, they are more popular than rock now. 2) linkin park is watered down shit music and we'd be better off without them. 3) if it were early 90s gangsta rap and pop, i'd actually prefer that to the current state of rock.

The Posies have nothing to do with grunge. They just happened to come from Washington at roughly the same time.

Saw Ken and Jon perform acoustic at the Meredith music festival back in 2001. They playeed the best set of the day yet hardly anyone knew who they were. I guess that sums up how they have been their whole career.

Seriously, there is good rock out there. I'm guessing you live in some city where the radio stations are owned by some huge monopolistic company such as Clear Channel. It's sad to read postings like this really. You might as well get satellite radio.
Do you really know ...( 5 months ago by BBThames)
Do you really know what grunge is? I'm guessing you are what us Gen X'ers call a "Texter" or Generation "Why", FuckingStanz. What people like to call "Alternative Rock" nowadays, spawned from your underground and grunge bands or "garage bands" as others refer to them. In my honest opinion... and sorry if I sound like a broken record here (that's a chipped CD for you kids out there), the Posies helped shape today's "alternative rock" sound. Argument over.
I seriously doubt ...( 5 months ago by FuckingStanz)
I seriously doubt any other generation-x'er would want to be associated with your pretentious, inaccurate, and assumption-ridden blobs of text. You know the term "grunge" you're defending there? Grunge bands hated that term for confining diverse sounds into a one dimensional marketing term. AND AGAIN, if you still consider grunge to be a real scene, the Posies are not part of it. It's funny how you claim historical authority while not having a fucking clue what you're talking about.
Secondly, I didn't ...( 5 months ago by FuckingStanz)
Secondly, I didn't say anywhere that the Posies weren't an influential band. Show me where I did, please. I'm looking forward to it. Because I'm sure the realization will have hit you by then that you didn't even read my post properly.

What's funny about this post you made labeling me a mindless product of Britney Spears and Viacom is that you listed Snow Patrol, Incubus, and Linkin Park as being, A) Good. and B) Influenced by the Posies. Those bands are neither. I am not a Clear Channel sheep, dipshit. But I think it's funny that you are 'against them' when you use Clear Chanel bands in your defense. Linkin Park? Are you fucking kidding me? That band is derivative faux-angst rock for 9th graders with bad taste. Unreal
And finally, it's ...( 5 months ago by FuckingStanz)
And finally, it's funny that you took an authority on music history by default from being a generation-x'er, when no other member of your generation shared your view point from everything I've heard. Grunge was considered a bad term, only the bandwagon hoppers like yourself embraced it. Dumbasss. You denounced Clear Channel, yet looking through your profile, you have 100% mainstream rock taste and only listen to bands that MTV has promoted. Fucking irony, sir.
Enough with the ...( 5 months ago by BBThames)
Enough with the potty mouth. Do you kiss your own mother with that mouth? Calm down already. Grunge was not a bad term back in the 90's. Please show me where some "expert" says it was. By the sound of it, you weren't even alive during that time. Actually I'm shocked you even know who the Posies were. Ok, so you love reading people's profiles? I'll be sure to put some bands on there you probably never heard of. Oh and waht's with you and Linkin Park? It sounds as if you had an ex who liked them.
Your ignorance ...( 5 months ago by FuckingStanz)
Your ignorance reveals itself further. Watch the grunge documentary "Hype". Watch interviews with any grunge bands. They all disliked the term. I'm not talking about "expert critics" i'm talking about grunge artists themselves. They seem to ALL disagree with your dumbass assertion that everyone was proud to be associated with it. Please do some research and find out yourself. I'm younger than you and I am still more knowledgeable in the area of indie and alternative rock. Get over it.
Why are you shocked ...( 5 months ago by FuckingStanz)
Why are you shocked I've heard of the Posies? Because you automatically typecasted me as being a generation-y stereotype, which was PAINFULLY ironic considering your taste for the likes of watered down imitations of older generation-x bands from the early 90s. Linkin Park being the prime example. It's just weird that I listen to mostly early 90s indie and you are into whatever the radio plays, and yet you are talking down to me like I don't have a clue about the 90s. Act your age.

I've commented on this one before...but truly, it's outrageous that The Posies didn't get their well earned fame on the Frosting On The Beater CD/LP. It's top shelf shouldabeen legendary rock/pop material, really is. Why didn't it happen? One can only guess. Did geffen at the time just decide to put all their bucks into Nirvana? If so, big shame! Not on Cobain & Co, but on geffen (if that's why)...

Remarkable version of this song, just stunning. Too bad FOTB was released during the grunge craze; the rockin' album version is fine, but I think if these guys has been able to release a simpler, less fuzzy, more acoustic-driven version of the album (which I think they would have preferred), it would have been incredible.
