The only reason I can think of for wanting to go back in time, would be to see Nirvana play a show live. One of my all-time fav bands.

On a separate note, I'm going to see Offspring this Saturday! \m/

I saw Nirvana live... They were actually really bad. I guess the drug abuse took a toll.

I do, however, think The Offspring were a bit underrated. :)

I adore the 90's... Glad to have grown up in the 90's, definitely a great time on this planet earth.
Now, the millennium so far is full of whack...

Nostalgia...

Great song! Absolutely a good title and typical of the 90's, when in fact, music had so much more spirit and "wildness" (in terms of living free and unbound etc)...
I'm so sad the 90's are gone, I need a time machine! :cry:

You know, it makes me feel old to know how you've turned three in the same year I went through the Abitur... some of us were partying and getting incredibly drunk at the time 'Jeremy' and other grunge-era songs came out.

Get off my lawn! /me shakes his 'Rollator' at you




Yeah Europe was the place to be in the 90's if you ever get the chance to listen to this take it!

If I had a time machine back to the 90's I'd rather see Alice In Chains live with Layne singing rather than seeing Nirvana live. Probably one of the two October 1993 shows where they sang Rotten Apple off of Jar Of Flies (the only two times they did with Layne).

I am surprised no one has mentioned this being on the Clerks (1994) soundtrack :)

"Runaway Train" is definitely a classic that has been all but forgotten by many. I love the song, and it's lyrics.

All of them! As stated already, the 90s, but it's all relative. Ask my parents and they'll say the 60s/70s was the best time for music...
