Pieter1 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 No Offspring Smash yet? This was going on my list but I like Rancid a smidge more
Jehosefat Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 This was going on my list but I like Rancid a smidge more3FA95230-A615-4F02-8949-E67789EF1A56.jpegReally? Only song on that album I really liked was Jennifer lost the war. I'd rank Smash, Ixnay, Americana, Conspiracy and Ignition (maybe even Rise and Fall) above that album. Ooh, almost forgot about Blink Enema of the State. Also an amazing album.
banna Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 There's a couple of bands like that... It's usually the ones that influence others musicians... Beatles, Smiths, Pixies... Can't explain it.. Of those three:Queen is deadCome on PilgrimRevolverGreat albums indeed. The late 80's/early 90's era was such a fantastic period for music. IMO it matches the 60's/70's.
sirmoun10goat Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 SNG - the influence they had on SA Rock was immense, taking it overseas and becoming a voice for a generation thirsty for decent music. how they recorded their first couple of albums will go down as folklore history. still regret not seeing them live at Dunkers in SSW way back when I was 15 and sneaking into a pub was our life's mission. I got in, but not knowing who they were, conservative me thought it was a stripshow of some kind and i bailed like a chicken. finally got to see them live MANY years later. Seether/Saron Gas - Shaun's powerful voice reminds me a bit of the GOAT James Hetfield. Fragile was their first album under their name at the time (Saron Gas), and its rock at its purest. Ive seen them live at the 2006 Coke Fest, opening for Metallica, then again at Grand West and also an acoustic set at Kirstenbosch. Shaun never fails to impress. Good bands those. Some other firm favourites: Boo - managed to see them twice.Hog Hoggidy Hog - they could bring a crowd almost as wild as FuziThe Hellphones There were some really good punk and ska bands that came and went over the years I really hoped Fuzi would make it onto the international scene. J-Bones is a very talented musician, sings well, writes good songs and music and is actually good with people. Think the rest of the band held him back gemmerbal 1
Trance Dance Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Tough task! My list today... Bob Dylan - blood on the tracks Black Sabbath - Black SabbathNeil young - harvestLed Zeppelin - Remasters (is that fair)The Sex Pistols - Never mind the billocksThe Clash - The ClashGnR-LiesSublime - Sublime Nirvana - NevermindBen Harper - Fight for your mind

gemmerbal Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Sho, Battery 9, Squeal and Sugardrive were also among my favorites around that time! We had some musical talent floating around when we were unable to see international acts on SA soil, thats for sure!

Stretch Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 There were two South African bands that I absolutely loved The Kalahari surfers and Die Kerel's The Kalahari Surfers - bigger than Jesus album is a masterpiece
Pieter1 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 This will probably make it into my list also:But there are really more than I can actually think of.
Thor Buttox Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Wow, blast from the past.If no-one mentioned Hog, Boo or Fuzi here, I'd probably never remember those live shows.Also recall seeing the following.

Look up 'Ozone' or 'Macbeth' if you can find it on the Web. Awesome songs https://youtu.be/c1cDZfDXXzc Ozone starts at 19:00 with an acoustic thing. Give this a listen if you never have before.

StevieL Posted March 19, 2020 Author Posted March 19, 2020 What? No Pixies on anyone's list? Doolittle fell just outside my top 10 without a doubt. What an album. banna 1

We had some musical talent floating around when we were unable to see international acts on SA soil, thats for sure! Squeal - Long pig. I freakin' loved that album!!! That brings back memories. Where could I find that nowadays?! Sugardrive - When I died, I was Elvis. Another cracker! gemmerbal 1
Lou Zealand Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Squeal - Long pig. I freakin' loved that album!!! That brings back memories. Where could I find that nowadays?! Sugardrive - When I died, I was Elvis. Another cracker!Both albums are available on Apple Music and no doubt Deezer, Spotify and Google Play. Apple Music also has some Plush which I was exposed to by a colleague when we were in Mozambique on an extended field visit. Great sound; terrible history... I posted 'Tainted' on the Song of the Day thread. gemmerbal and StevieL 2
