I would also urge casual listeners to track down 'Everything's Ruined' by Faith No More as a fine example of the metal gengre.

It was quite good the first time, and then they trotted the bastard thing out at every conceivable opportunity until I really, really wanted to batter them all to death with that bloody guitar. Hi China, yes, it was a toss-up between Everything About You and Cat's in the Cradle. We got Beavis & Butthead on MTV, so that was my first exposure to pop, really. It all changed when I moved to England in 1993 though. But that's a whole different post! Jesus Brian, the fuckers at our school did that as well, with some long-haired, sensitive muppet on guitar.

I remember liking that "I Hate Everything About You" song when I was a kid. Oof. I didn't know you got Beavis and Butthead over there - did you ever see the episode where they were watching PJ Harvey's "50 Foot Queenie" and Butthead said, "huh-huh, it's Mallory," referring to Justine Bateman on Family Ties?

A very honest post. I remember the release of Guns'n'Roses' albums in 1991 being a pretty big deal around our school too. Loved them at the time, but not so fussed now. Still like Metallica in small doses, but Ugly Kid Joe? Nah, that one can stay back in the early nineties where they belong! Bloody hell! A very honest post.
