Going from Janet to the Puppets is going to give me whiplash

And while Warehouse is an amazing album, you don’t get to it without going through Zen Arcade and New Day Rising. Eejits

I'm not sure if my first exposure to Meat Puppets was Nirvana Unplugged or the Backwater music video. I can't say that I've ever listened to any of their albums before though.

Not gonna lie, I'm not enjoying the Meat Puppets album nearly as much as I was expecting. I can definitely hear the influence on Nirvana though.

Nirvana Unplugged first aired in December of 1993. The video for Backwater came out in 1994.

I was aware of Meat Puppets in 91 or 92 because of all the cool kids at the time. I somehow never really got into them when I was listening to sst and early sub pop stuff in 89-90.

By February 94, I’m pretty sure I had Meat Puppets I & II and Too High to Die On CD.

So… I was looking at the wiki for Spidey and His Amazing Friends this morning and I think I may understand why I had avoided Badly Drawn Boy. I’m pretty sure I had him confused with Fall Out Boy.

They just a tiiiinny bit different.

How did you get there? Does Fall Out Boy do the theme song or something?

Patrick Stump does the theme song.

Interesting.

I was curious about which came first. Looks like Nirvana Unplugged first premiered in December 1993 while Too High To Die came out in January of 1994 and “Backwater” doesn’t first show up on the Billboards Modern Rock until February 5, 1994.

I was super into Nirvana at the time so I know it was Unplugged but I loved Too High To Die as well.

Yeah. I would have been 10 when Nirvana Unplugged Premiered and while I remember watching it I'm not sure if I would have really paid attention to them bringing out the Meat Puppets until the album came out.

Fall Out Boy is a Simpsons Reference.

It’s funny what a couples years difference in age makes. I would have just turned 12 years old when MTV Unplugged aired and me and my friends were obsessed.

When I was 10 I was busy listening to my “Baby Got Back” cassingle.

The nice thing about MTV back in the day is that you could sit and watch it for hours and enjoy Baby Got Back AND Nirvana.

Cassingles were the best. There was probably a year or 2 gap where I didn't buy any albums after I discovered them.
