This thread bringing back the memories... C&C Music Factory was my first CD. Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch was my second CD.

Just need Garth Brooks - No Fences and Genesis - We Can't Dance to round it out.

---

hah! You know how I know you're gay?!?!

Man my first CD was White zombie la sexorcisto and my second was AIC Dirt. But I was like 12 when those came out so, I wasn't exactly jammin' dance club music.

---

You sound like a pretty hardcore badass dude, bro.

---

What 12 year old wasn't listening to grunge in 92?

Y'all act like I'm some anomaly. I think the dude who first decided to spend his hard earned money (or allowance in my case) on a C&C music factory dvd is the odd man out here.

I was in middle school and the Nirvana/grunge kids were not a majority by any means. Personally my first CDs were from Columbia with one of those buy 12 for a penny each things. From what I can remember, I got, Fresh Prince, MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Boy's in the Hood Soundtrack, C&C Music factory, Bel Biv Devo, Garth Brooks, Boys II Men, Color Me Bad, and Jodeci.

Nirvana, Pearl Jam, STP were starting to grow popular a little but it stayed mainly with the long haired stoner looking kids. GNR, NIN, Tool were big but still most of the CDs I got were all popular at school, except maybe Fresh Prince and Bel Biv Devo.

I didn't take your comment too seriously anyways, and I certainly wouldn't defend either of my first two albums today... but grunge didn't hit mainstream until 1992. Both C&C and Marky Mark predate it.

In 1990 the most "hardcore badass" albums to hit #1 were MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice...

Fresh Prince, Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, Bel Biv Devoe and Boys 2 Men were albums that pretty much every suburban white 10-year old had in his collection.

I'll fight you right now if you are saying ANY of those CDs sucked.

And I've got his back.

Well, yeh by the next year I had long hair and had smoked pot for the first time. It's not stoner 'looking' heh.

So needless to say, I didn't have any of those cds in your first paragraph.

Yes, this was ~2 years after the 1990 gems you're listing out, but I simply wasn't quite old enough, or didn't care enough, to go buy music. Maybe cause I just didn't like any of that stuff in 1990.

I was a white suburban kid. I went from liking my parents music (beatles, eagles, Billy Joel, Elton john, etc) to liking metallica and grunge, and shortly after, a bunch of stuff you've probably never heard of.

Sounds like a bunch of music that doesn't make you sweat til you bleed.

---

No I was playing guitar until my fingers bled in the early 90s. And I certainly wasn't playing along R&B/dance music!

Different strokes for different folks.. none of that music ever did, or does, appeal to me. It certainly was hard to completely get away from it, so I def have heard most of the very popular ones (ice ice baby, can't touch this, the other couple songs mentioned in this thread, but they were def. not in my collection.

Growing up in Alief in the early 90s, the kids that listened to grunge were in the very small minority, even among the white kids.

Hah, look what just came across my youtube feed.

I'll expand a bit.. metallica was the driving force of me departing from listening to what my parents did. Then it was vulgar display of power, slayer, danzig and bloody kisses. By '93 I was into carcass, sepultura, cradle and morbid angel, but also tool and the aforementioned more mainstream stuff.

Of grunge, I was totally into AIC. I liked and still do the other 3 big ones (Ten, nevermind and badmoto) but didn't have those cds until the 2000s.

So I was definitely into the heavier side of things as compared to your typical white suburban kid I suppose, which is why of grunge, AIC fit in the best since they were the most 'metal' of the group.

So maybe I didn't take the typical path of an 11-13 year old diving into his own world of music. Metallica was the gateway drug to it all, and I quickly veered off course. By 15/16 I was actually attending death metal concerts at the Abyss, and by 17 I was playing in one opening up for hatebreed and suicidal tendencies.

Yup. I grew up right down the road.

Grunge is almost all we listened to at A&M at the time. Heck, it's mostly what I listen to today.

Of course, we were not the majority and also had to listen to Garth, George, Clint, etc.

Define "kids". I was 16 or 17, lived in Mission Bend on the Fort bend side, but was in to Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and AIC.

Doesn't mean I didn't jam to some R&B though.

I was in middle school in the early 90s, lived in Glenshire west off West Belfort. I listened to some grunge but it was a lot of hip hop and R&B

Fame City, son.

Totally. What was it...club circus or something?

Not sure what you're referring to. Was that part of Fame City?

There was a dance club in fame city. I dont think I got the name right.

I think it was Studio Circus

I was pretty close I guess.
