Music Magazine Classic Rock Special: Ultimate 90s Collection Second Edition Back Issue

What does the 1990s mean to you? Was it the grunge explosion at the start of the decade spearheaded by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soungarden and Alice In Chains? Was it the rise of nu metal and the success of angst merchants such as Korn, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot at the end of it? Was it the unstoppable, all-conquering dominance of Metallica, the blockbusting success of punk-pop rabble rousers Green Day or the incendiary emergence of next-gen noisemakers Rage Against The Machine and Tool? Was it outliers and mavericks such as Jane’s Addiction, Sublime or The Wildhearts? Or maybe it was all of them and more? Looking back on the 90s from the vantage point of today, it’s astounding to think how revolutionary those 10 years were. It was a decade when a bunch of unshaven no-hopers from Seattle could become the decade’s biggest band, when rock’n’roll – itself already 30-odd years old – could be stretched and pummelled into thrilling new shapes and sounds, when genres were smashed together in the musical equivalent of some giant Large Hadron Collider. It was noisy, it was chaotic, and above all it was as exciting as hell.

Of course, you know all that. This 132-page magazine is for you. Inside, you’ll find the full story of this epic, sprawling, game-changing decade, told via the bands who built it, from the ones who burned out before they could fade away to those who are still out there today, building on the astounding work they did back then. Immerse yourself in the artists and music from the 10 years that changed everything. As someone once said: here we are now, entertain us…
