7:35 "This was the pinnacle of heavy metal and Metallica's best album" .....No Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets and AJFA all are arguably "better" than the black album (even though I love the black album) Also why no mention "Facelift" Alice in Chains in 1990?!?!?
19:40 Heartbreakingly, Chris Cornell won't be doing any videos anymore, shirtless or otherwise. Probably the most indisputably massive loss to music of the past decade. I doubt there will ever be another person with the range Chris Cornell could get from his voice.
Guys, your history of Rock series has been great. Yes, you and your friend's bit can be a little corny, but you guys were having so much fun doing the videos I loved it. Please, just keep having fun and I'm sure the rest of the Internet will soon find you guys. Good luck, love the channel thus far.
2000s The Strokes Linkin Park Green day (american idiot) Blink 182 Interpol Muse The Killers Coldplay (sorry) My chemical Romance Radiohead (Kid A, In rainbows) Daft punk Arctic Monkeys Tool
Yeah, that was one of my two disappointments with this video. (The other being the lack of acknowledgement of Guns 'N' Roses' Use Your Illusion). Morning Glory is legitimately in my Top 3 favorite albums ever.
The Cranberries deserve more love and recognition, such and underrated band. Dolores is the greatest rock vocalist of all time, including male and female vocalists, IMO
I just discovered the series this week! Fun and entertaining!! I don't know the numbers needed for UA-cam payouts, but I'm subscribing. I look forward to watching the other videos including band performances. Keep it going!!

For a 90's teenager like me this was an awesome nostalgia trip! I grew up on this music and it will always be close to my heart. Thanks so much for these videos.
JT, with being the top (or near top) live touring band since 1996 or so, Dave Matthews Band were a huge influence on millions of people in the 90s and they were able to sustain it to this day. That’s worth a mention if you do a 90s bonus video. Great video man, we appreciate all the work on these
Good episode. Pretty much accurate analysis as I was a college radio DJ in the mid 90’s. As for Radiohead, maybe it’s because I’m a Gen Xer who graduated college in the 90’s but at the time OK Computer was released, it was so refreshing to hear something different from an alternative rock band pushing themselves creatively. Many in my age group recognized that bands brilliance (although I prefer In Rainbows)
It is really, really stupid to bring generation into this because it has nothing to do with that. Radiohead has many Gen Z fans so ig we are just fuckin Gen Xers according to you, huh? Yeah, very dumb
thank you so much for these videos!! they have made learning infinitely more exciting!! i really enjoyed this series and i am so grateful for your work!
I think heavy metal has been on the rise in the 00s and onwards. Bands to talk about Nightwish, Slipknot, Rammstein, Killswitch Engage. But also bands like Green Day, Clutch
JEFF BUCKLEY. I know he wasn't huge, but he contributed massively to music, and Grace was an incredible album. He deserved a mention! By the way, I'm ignoring Jeff's "hallelujah" cover because, while it's pretty and popular, it's honestly the most boring thing he ever did. Buckley's vocals on "Lover You Should Have Come Over", "Grace", and "Mojo Pin" were life-changing for me as a singer. Not to mention he was a killer guitar player, brought up on blues. Seriously, everyone go listen to Jeff Buckley. Oh, and he also fits into the "artists who tragically died too young in the mid 1990s" category. Had Buckley NOT died and continued making music, he probably would have been a part of this video.
The first rock concert of the 2000s was Phish playing for 80,000 fans on a Seminole indian reservation in the Everglades from midnight til 7am on 1/1/00. It rocked hard.
please for the love of god mention The Microphones' records The Glow Pt. 2 and Mount Eerie in your 2000's video. they're a RIDICULOUSLY influential avant-garde folk band and the sole member, Phil Elverum, has kept making amazing music to this day. he deserves as much praise as possible.
Incubus' Make Yourself was definitely a solid pick to close off the 90s, but I personally prefer Dream Theater's 1999 album Metropolis, pt 2. Everything from Myung's melodic bass playing, LaBrie's soaring vocal style (definitely Dickinson-inspired), Portnoy's skillful drumming, Rudess' absolutely beautiful keyboard playing and John Petrucci's positively ludicrous guitar skills makes this album one of the greatest ever in my book. The collective instrumentation blends into this extremely fine mix that ages like a 5-star bottle of port wine. Not to mention this album is kind of a throwback to the 60s in a way due to its rock-opera structure. Every single song on the album is perfect and can stand on their own two feet like a collection of singles. Want a calming acoustic ballad? Through Her Eyes! Maybe you prefer more of an avant-garde act? Beyond this Life got ya covered. And let's not forget Petrucci's best song in terms of guitar playing, Overture 1928! This concept album also cemented Prog Metal as a driving force into the 2000s that would inspire even more bands to take it to the extreme with acts like Meshuggah and Periphery. It's a shame the album never really got the credit it deserved, not even breaking into the top 50 in the US album chart.
YESSSSS I 100% agree, definitely one of my favorite albums of all time and I really wish he would’ve included it because it is a truly influential album for a lot of prog metal and prog rock and metal bands.
I love this 90s episode of the history of Rock also RIP Neil Pert of RUSH today tho. Also, Love Radiohead, Stereolab, and other 90s acts. Do TOOL and Gorillaz more in the 2000s video.
Acts I hope you'll cover in the 2000s include acts that continued from the '90s such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Weezer, and No Doubt along with Nickelback (unfortunately), Coldplay (brings back a lot of childhood memories), Maroon 5 (before they sold out hard), Train, The Killers, Linkin Park, Audioslave, Evanescence, Jimmy Eat World, Puddle Of Mudd, Kings of Leon, Three Doors Down, Franz Ferdinand, etc. Pop-rock acts like P!nk, Avril Lavigne, and Kelly Clarkson (Breakaway era with "Since U Been Gone), etc. And pop-punk/emo bands such as Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Simple Plan, Boys Like Girls, The All-American Rejects, Paramore, etc. Some non-rock acts you could discuss would include more of the rap artists like JAY-Z, Kanye West, Ludacris, Eminem, Nelly, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and OutKast. The R&B acts like Usher, Beyonce, and Alicia Keys. And don't forget the pop acts like Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, The Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake and Rihanna. In terms of cultural references, you can parody the way UA-cam and social media used to be when they started out as well as CDs turning over to digital download as the primary form of musical consumption in the 2000s that started with Napster and went over to iTunes.
How the hell do you guys make such good videos? I haven’t really found videos like this that have this much effort or go this in depth. Good job on these videos. Also, I hate to say it here, but I think significant other by limp bizkit is better than dark side of the moon.
You should do the 2000s man, that's my decade of being a teenager to young adult, moving from skateboarding to playing music in 05'. The comment section pretty much has all the bands I would have suggested. 😎 great job guys! peace out 🤓 -bassandguitarscales
I’m Canadian so the record that comes to mind in 1991 that I listened to over and over again and still love was road apple’s by the Tragically hip.. on the more international mega hit side of things it was RHCP-BSSM..I was 10 😊👍🏻
Nice to have it on UA-cam finally. I too grew up in the 90's, and the Nirvana cult was still very much alive when I was in my teens (second half of the 90's - early 00's). I'll be reposting my favourite albums of the decade: Björk: Debut and Post David Bowie: 1. Outside (one of his most underrated albums) Blur: Parklife Jef Buckley: Grace Eric Clapton: Unplugged Eels: Electro Shock Blues Hedningarna: Trä (Swedish/Finnish folktronica) C.V. Jørgensen: Sjælland (Danish "lyric rock" artist, here mixed with jazz and electronics) Kashmir: Cruzential and The Good Life (Danish rock band, on Cruzential they are kind of mixing grunge with funk and Primus, on The Good Life there are clearly echoes of Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and Pink Floyd) Nirvana: Nevermind and In Utero Portishead: Dummy Pulp: Different Class Radiohead: The Bends and OK Computer R.E.M: Automatic For the People (+ maybe New Adventures in Hi-Fi) Sorten Muld: Mark II (Danish folktronica, based on old folk ballads) Sort Sol: Flow My Firetear (Danish alternative rock - features Link Wray on one track btw.) Sting: The Soul Cages (another one I can go along with too) Under Byen: Kyst (another Danish band - a bit difficult to describe, but the music is very dreamy and sometimes slightly jazz-influenced - it includes, apart from usual rock instruments, things like accordion, cello and saw - very poetic lyrics too btw.) U2: Achtung Baby
I’m too late for this but, Jeff Buckley was awesome! He was a great singer and guitar player, even though he died at a very young age but he rocks so hard
This series is phenomenal - I used it to teach a three week intensive "School of Rock" for high school kids. Couldn't have asked for a better "textbook." One notable omission I see for the 1990's episode is Hole's album "Live Through This." A dark and angry grunge masterpiece from a female perspective.
Good job with the video! Enjoy a lot of the acts you listed. And I agree about the teen pop acts. I have a lot of older cousins who like this music so it already annoys me when I hear the music. As one UA-cam critic put it, grunge was the definitive sound of the '90s alongside hip-hop, not the boy bands, not the pop princesses or any of that other teen pop crap. People of my generation who've didn't experience the '90s a lot seem to think the later teen pop half is what the entire '90s was like.
The 2000 was my teenage years and i could speak so much on my favorite rock in that era. Nu metal, emo and the heights of poppunk. Mcr, coheed and cambria, greendays last great album american idiot, the used, from first to last, hawthorn heights, panic at the disco!, wasnt korns album issues this era ?to thats my favorite, fanz Ferdinand, modest mouse, fall of troy, some of incubus' greatest work, im sure im forgetting some blink 182 prolly, it was very full of great music, and mcr specifically spoke to millions of people we emos are rather loyal they still have 6 million follows on spotify and you cant tell me welcome to the black parade influenced by queen didnt match up. To some of the oldest greats.
@@therooster72 I'd have loved that class! School got so much cooler after I finished. My son had a _surfing_ class. I'd have given just about anything to go surfing at school as a teenager.
Funny how Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails got renewed relevance in 2019 thanks to Lil Nas X of all people sampling them. He sampled Nine Inch Nails' "34 Ghosts IV" for his record-breaking hit "Old Town Road" and interpolated the chorus of Nirvana's "In Bloom" for "Panini."
I don't know if Metal bands would be covered in the 2000s video, but bands like Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Tool, Ayreon, Meshuggah, Nightwish, and Avenged Sevenfold carried on the Rock spirit, if not the pure sound, for the decade and they had their impact on the 90s. Additionally, bands Sabaton, Mastodon, Gojira, Daydream XI, and Seventh Wonder started in the 2000s and came out with great early albums. Also the djent movement really started in the late 2000s. I know what I have listed is more Metal than Rock, but metal is arguably the healthiest part of the modern "Rock" scene at the moment.
@@mountainmgtow5421 ....... Dream Theater never innovated in any way? Mastodon, Gojira, Tool, Sabaton, and Meshuggah were also stagnant in your eyes? Yes, maybe they are not the most popular, but that doesn't mean there was no innovation. Additionally, Avenged Sevenfold and Sabaton are at least medium in terms of popularity. You have a very distorted view of Rock. Yes what you like might have died or gone underground in the 90s, but things did keep happening.
@@nathanielhellman6952 Doesn't mean it was any good things, all of it has been done before and all the sounds are just copies of what's come already. Yes, Tool innovated - in the 90s.
@@mountainmgtow5421 It was good. All of the bands I have mentioned have released great songs and great albums. Lateralus was released in 2000 and it wasn't like anything else. If you want to check out something innovative then I suggest Wintersun. That group sounds like nothing else. Also stop being such a fanboy for 90s music. This video talks about how the vast majority of 90s Rock songs just fell in line with the simple stuff established in the 70s.
@@nathanielhellman6952 Lateralus? Wintersun? Nobody has ever heard of this. I can guarantee just about everyone in the world knows who Nirvana was. I'm not a fan of Nirvana, don't inject me personally into the debate. But I suspect this is going to turn ugly in a moment, so I'm dropping out.
Great video! I was alive and well during the 90s but I didn't know most of these bands so this was an educational viewing for me. Obviously I know and love Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers - who doesn't. I think I listened to more R&B and Hip Hop back then and also a lot of Britpop. The Soul Cages is an amazing album - musically and lyrically.
I’ve been waiting for this video since you made the first one of the 50s. Great video as always I appreciate the fact that all the videos still have the same feel to them as a tone and as a whole. You can really play all episodes back to back like a long documentary. As far as a 2000s and beyond, I agree with you completely on how it feels like the 90s is the end of rock and roll. But I feel you could maybe conclude it with a 2000s video but the only bands off the top of my head are Staind, Puddle of Mudd, more KoRn since you teased them, Black Keys, Kid Rock, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Nickleback,, Evanescense, System of the Down, Godsmack, and Drowning Pool (the Sinner album). Thanks for an awesome series, this is one of my personal great lil journeys I had in this past decade that I really appreciate honestly, Respect all the way from Dallas Tx.
Another ace!!! Only thing is I’d like to have seen you connect this video a bit more to the 50s video. A mention of early 60s (crappy) teen idols and a bigger focus on the British Invasion I’d say was needed. Still, another solid work
Kurt Kobain--oh, man. I only sorta knew Nirvana's music myself at the time (I was in high school and miserable--so I actually WAS the correct audience :P) but I remember the day he died--I went over to my friend's house, and her little sister (only a couple years younger) pulled out a rock magazine with him on the cover and showed it to me while crying her eyes out. That's my I Was Really There '90s memory, I guess. Happier '90s memories--I went online for the first time in 1996, so I do know the early Internet jokes. Let me tell you young'uns: That part of the video is only exaggerated a _little_. :P I remember Lunchables (even though I was technically too old to be eating them, but ask me if I've ever cared), the Macarena, the famous sitcoms, and many of the hits from the decade including both dark and happy ones. But I was an '80s kid at heart, which is why I wasn't paying much attention to the angstier stuff at the time. It just bummed me out too much. NOW, I listen back to '90s music and I'm like "Dude, we still had proper GUITARS back then! We still had ROCK! Man, I never realised how lucky we were..." (Although, mind you, I also _like_ electronic music ('80s kid, remember) and think songs with synthesizers can still rock/be awesome in general, but that's not important right now.) Also, funny you covered Woodstock '99--I still have my t-shirt for that. It still kinda fits. XD (I didn't actually go--my mom got it for me as a present because it had tie-dye and a guitar on it and she knew I was into classic rock. Heh.)

7:35 I know you’ve probably gotten a few comments about this already, but there is no way you can rank this above Master of Puppets, not to mention Ride the Lightning as well. I’d argue against the wording “definitely”
25:51 Well every episode discussing rock music each decade, it will always have The Beatles involved and refrenced. 1950s : The Quarrymen are formed, with John Lennon as frontman, later joined by Paul McCartney and George Harrison. 1960s : The Quarrymen who are renamed The Beatles, become the biggest band of the decade, and most influential band of all time. 1970s : The Beatles break up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo persuing solo careers. 1980s : John Lennon is dead 1990s : Paul, George, and Ringo record two songs using 1970s demos by John Lennon, and release them as Beatles songs 2000s : George Harrison is dead 2010s : Paul and Ringo are still performing into their 70s 2020s : Paul and Ringo finish "Now and Then", using a 1977 demo recording by John, a 1995 recording by George, and 2022-2023 recordings with Paul and Ringo 2030s : Either Paul and Ringo retire or die 2040s : Unlikely they'll be alive but The Beatles will mentally be alive 2050s onwards : Long Live The Beatles!
41:48 - I'm a 43 year old guy who grew up on my parent's Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin albums. I have all those great albums on every modern format including 180g remastered vinyl. I will say that Jagged Little Pill stands up to anything from the 90s. When I was in college that was THE album. In 1995-96, you could hear it blasting out of every girl's dorm room at the University of Toledo, but every guy I knew secretly loved that album too. Today we don't have to be so secretive about it lol. And if in fact she wrote that album about her angst with breaking up with Dave Coulier, I still feel terrible for the guy 25 years later lol
Bon Jovi, Radiohead and Nirvana, that's pretty much all one needs from 90s mainstream rock, sprinkled with some Oasis... but pop was pretty good back then! Thank God I was a teen in the 80s...!
JT, you made a very funny impression while playing Weezer's Say It Ain't So! It made me laugh 😂! That's my favorite Weezer song and The Blue Album is their best album without a doubt! I also loved it when you were jamming to Third Eyes Blind's Semi-Charmed Life. Definitely a fun, upbeat and very power pop song. Awesome song!
Anyone else surprised that the 6th highest selling album of the 90s: Cracked Rear View by Hootie & The Blowfish didn’t get at least a shout out? It’s the best selling “rock” album of the decade.

I’m seeing a pattern here
A decade starts with low corporate influence on music and ends with the opposite.
Good observation. Though the 60s was the exact opposite.
That is the trend that’s why after the midway marker for any decade it goes downhill fast
@@JTCurtisMusic I disagree the 60s is more of a mixed bag at the end of that decade flower power was commercialized and whack the monkeys come to mind
These videos deserve so muchh recognition. I know how much effort you put into them. I love these vids
They’re so entertaining
7:35 "This was the pinnacle of heavy metal and Metallica's best album"

Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets and AJFA all are arguably "better" than the black album (even though I love the black album)

I do think more emphasis should’ve been put on Britpop, that was the defining movement of 94-97. Oasis were the best selling artist of the decade.
I agree. Definitely Maybe by Oasis and Parklife by Blur were probably the biggest British records of 1994.

I was born in 1982. Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" is an album that really inspire me to learn how to play play guitar in the early 90's. And Queen.

Acts I hope you'll cover in the 2000s include acts that continued from the '90s such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Weezer, and No Doubt along with Nickelback (unfortunately), Coldplay (brings back a lot of childhood memories), Maroon 5 (before they sold out hard), Train, The Killers, Linkin Park, Audioslave, Evanescence, Jimmy Eat World, Puddle Of Mudd, Kings of Leon, Three Doors Down, Franz Ferdinand, etc. Pop-rock acts like P!nk, Avril Lavigne, and Kelly Clarkson (Breakaway era with "Since U Been Gone), etc. And pop-punk/emo bands such as Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Simple Plan, Boys Like Girls, The All-American Rejects, Paramore, etc. Some non-rock acts you could discuss would include more of the rap artists like JAY-Z, Kanye West, Ludacris, Eminem, Nelly, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and OutKast. The R&B acts like Usher, Beyonce, and Alicia Keys. And don't forget the pop acts like Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, The Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake and Rihanna. In terms of cultural references, you can parody the way UA-cam and social media used to be when they started out as well as CDs turning over to digital download as the primary form of musical consumption in the 2000s that started with Napster and went over to iTunes.
How the hell do you guys make such good videos? I haven’t really found videos like this that have this much effort or go this in depth. Good job on these videos. Also, I hate to say it here, but I think significant other by limp bizkit is better than dark side of the moon.
Thank you! I owe a lot to my father, who was our original director.
You should do the 2000s man, that's my decade of being a teenager to young adult, moving from skateboarding to playing music in 05'.
The comment section pretty much has all the bands I would have suggested. 😎
great job guys! peace out 🤓

Thanks for the video. Brings back lots of memories!
I think Gorrilaz should get a 2000s mention
I’m Canadian so the record that comes to mind in 1991 that I listened to over and over again and still love was road apple’s by the Tragically hip.. on the more international mega hit side of things it was RHCP-BSSM..I was 10 😊👍🏻
Nice to have it on UA-cam finally. I too grew up in the 90's, and the Nirvana cult was still very much alive when I was in my teens (second half of the 90's - early 00's). I'll be reposting my favourite albums of the decade:
Björk: Debut and Post
David Bowie: 1. Outside (one of his most underrated albums)
Blur: Parklife
Jef Buckley: Grace
Eric Clapton: Unplugged
Eels: Electro Shock Blues
Hedningarna: Trä (Swedish/Finnish folktronica)
C.V. Jørgensen: Sjælland (Danish "lyric rock" artist, here mixed with jazz and electronics)
Kashmir: Cruzential and The Good Life (Danish rock band, on Cruzential they are kind of mixing grunge with funk and Primus, on The Good Life there are clearly echoes of Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and Pink Floyd)
Nirvana: Nevermind and In Utero
Portishead: Dummy
Pulp: Different Class
Radiohead: The Bends and OK Computer
R.E.M: Automatic For the People (+ maybe New Adventures in Hi-Fi)
Sorten Muld: Mark II (Danish folktronica, based on old folk ballads)
Sort Sol: Flow My Firetear (Danish alternative rock - features Link Wray on one track btw.)
Sting: The Soul Cages (another one I can go along with too)
Under Byen: Kyst (another Danish band - a bit difficult to describe, but the music is very dreamy and sometimes slightly jazz-influenced - it includes, apart from usual rock instruments, things like accordion, cello and saw - very poetic lyrics too btw.)
U2: Achtung Baby
Please do the 2000s! I love the series, it’s taught me so much about pop culture
radiohead is my favorite band that originated in the 90s, i still love them today tho
The first half of the 90s imo is the greatest time for rock music in history. That's where rock hit its peak I think.
I’m too late for this but, Jeff Buckley was awesome! He was a great singer and guitar player, even though he died at a very young age but he rocks so hard
I absolutely loved the series !
Thank you!
90s are the BEST decade in rock imo... But I just love grunge and garage sounds.
This series is phenomenal - I used it to teach a three week intensive "School of Rock" for high school kids. Couldn't have asked for a better "textbook." One notable omission I see for the 1990's episode is Hole's album "Live Through This." A dark and angry grunge masterpiece from a female perspective.
Good job with the video! Enjoy a lot of the acts you listed. And I agree about the teen pop acts. I have a lot of older cousins who like this music so it already annoys me when I hear the music. As one UA-cam critic put it, grunge was the definitive sound of the '90s alongside hip-hop, not the boy bands, not the pop princesses or any of that other teen pop crap. People of my generation who've didn't experience the '90s a lot seem to think the later teen pop half is what the entire '90s was like.
Teen pop in the 90s was the equivalent of kids listening to the carpenters or captain and tenille in the 70s.
Loving this video!! I’ll be checking out the other decades next 😁
Awesome series! Thanks JT
90s Rock songs are destined to play on rock music stations forever
The 2000 was my teenage years and i could speak so much on my favorite rock in that era. Nu metal, emo and the heights of poppunk. Mcr, coheed and cambria, greendays last great album american idiot, the used, from first to last, hawthorn heights, panic at the disco!, wasnt korns album issues this era ?to thats my favorite, fanz Ferdinand, modest mouse, fall of troy, some of incubus' greatest work, im sure im forgetting some blink 182 prolly, it was very full of great music, and mcr specifically spoke to millions of people we emos are rather loyal they still have 6 million follows on spotify and you cant tell me welcome to the black parade influenced by queen didnt match up. To some of the oldest greats.
I love these videos. When my history of rock teacher was tired he would put these on and I really enjoy them. Thanks for the entertainment 👍
"History of Rock" is a subject where you go to school??
@@RiffRaffMama. yes, it's actually a very fun and interesting class
@@therooster72 I'd have loved that class! School got so much cooler after I finished. My son had a _surfing_ class. I'd have given just about anything to go surfing at school as a teenager.
This was great! Watched the 70’s and the 90’s with my teenage daughter.
Funny how Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails got renewed relevance in 2019 thanks to Lil Nas X of all people sampling them. He sampled Nine Inch Nails' "34 Ghosts IV" for his record-breaking hit "Old Town Road" and interpolated the chorus of Nirvana's "In Bloom" for "Panini."
How is it funny
you think famous bands "got relevance" because an unknown that nobody heard about sampled them?
lil nas x is trash
Came recently only across this great rock-document series . Excellent job guys and really well done, enjoyed the jokes and many references 🎸🎸👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the passing mention of Blind Melon, RIP Shannon Hoon. They were a lot more hard than their commercial video "No Rain".
I don't know if Metal bands would be covered in the 2000s video, but bands like Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Tool, Ayreon, Meshuggah, Nightwish, and Avenged Sevenfold carried on the Rock spirit, if not the pure sound, for the decade and they had their impact on the 90s. Additionally, bands Sabaton, Mastodon, Gojira, Daydream XI, and Seventh Wonder started in the 2000s and came out with great early albums. Also the djent movement really started in the late 2000s. I know what I have listed is more Metal than Rock, but metal is arguably the healthiest part of the modern "Rock" scene at the moment.
The problem is that those bands never made an impact on the music industry or innovated in any way. Everything died with the 90s, sadly.
@@mountainmgtow5421 ....... Dream Theater never innovated in any way? Mastodon, Gojira, Tool, Sabaton, and Meshuggah were also stagnant in your eyes? Yes, maybe they are not the most popular, but that doesn't mean there was no innovation. Additionally, Avenged Sevenfold and Sabaton are at least medium in terms of popularity. You have a very distorted view of Rock. Yes what you like might have died or gone underground in the 90s, but things did keep happening.
@@nathanielhellman6952 Doesn't mean it was any good things, all of it has been done before and all the sounds are just copies of what's come already.
Yes, Tool innovated - in the 90s.
@@mountainmgtow5421 It was good. All of the bands I have mentioned have released great songs and great albums. Lateralus was released in 2000 and it wasn't like anything else. If you want to check out something innovative then I suggest Wintersun. That group sounds like nothing else.
Also stop being such a fanboy for 90s music. This video talks about how the vast majority of 90s Rock songs just fell in line with the simple stuff established in the 70s.
@@nathanielhellman6952 Lateralus? Wintersun? Nobody has ever heard of this. I can guarantee just about everyone in the world knows who Nirvana was. I'm not a fan of Nirvana, don't inject me personally into the debate.
But I suspect this is going to turn ugly in a moment, so I'm dropping out.
Love it! So much fun. And I learned some things about the 1990s I did not know. xo
Thank you so much for being bang on with everything bar 1 reference to the 80s. So much so it was exhilarating to hear
Great video! I was alive and well during the 90s but I didn't know most of these bands so this was an educational viewing for me. Obviously I know and love Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers - who doesn't. I think I listened to more R&B and Hip Hop back then and also a lot of Britpop. The Soul Cages is an amazing album - musically and lyrically.
I’ve been waiting for this video since you made the first one of the 50s. Great video as always I appreciate the fact that all the videos still have the same feel to them as a tone and as a whole. You can really play all episodes back to back like a long documentary.
As far as a 2000s and beyond, I agree with you completely on how it feels like the 90s is the end of rock and roll. But I feel you could maybe conclude it with a 2000s video but the only bands off the top of my head are Staind, Puddle of Mudd, more KoRn since you teased them, Black Keys, Kid Rock, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Nickleback,, Evanescense, System of the Down, Godsmack, and Drowning Pool (the Sinner album).
Thanks for an awesome series, this is one of my personal great lil journeys I had in this past decade that I really appreciate honestly, Respect all the way from Dallas Tx.
Oh and P.O.D. of course!
Another ace!!! Only thing is I’d like to have seen you connect this video a bit more to the 50s video. A mention of early 60s (crappy) teen idols and a bigger focus on the British Invasion I’d say was needed. Still, another solid work
these kids seem to be having fun! I was working in Europe , not the UK, for the 90s, so I only heard the big hits on the radio
1994 was best yr for rock n roll. So many great albums made that yr. Especially debuts
Kurt Kobain--oh, man. I only sorta knew Nirvana's music myself at the time (I was in high school and miserable--so I actually WAS the correct audience :P) but I remember the day he died--I went over to my friend's house, and her little sister (only a couple years younger) pulled out a rock magazine with him on the cover and showed it to me while crying her eyes out. That's my I Was Really There '90s memory, I guess.
Happier '90s memories--I went online for the first time in 1996, so I do know the early Internet jokes. Let me tell you young'uns: That part of the video is only exaggerated a _little_. :P I remember Lunchables (even though I was technically too old to be eating them, but ask me if I've ever cared), the Macarena, the famous sitcoms, and many of the hits from the decade including both dark and happy ones.
But I was an '80s kid at heart, which is why I wasn't paying much attention to the angstier stuff at the time. It just bummed me out too much. NOW, I listen back to '90s music and I'm like "Dude, we still had proper GUITARS back then! We still had ROCK! Man, I never realised how lucky we were..." (Although, mind you, I also _like_ electronic music ('80s kid, remember) and think songs with synthesizers can still rock/be awesome in general, but that's not important right now.)
Also, funny you covered Woodstock '99--I still have my t-shirt for that. It still kinda fits. XD
(I didn't actually go--my mom got it for me as a present because it had tie-dye and a guitar on it and she knew I was into classic rock. Heh.)
I can die in peace. Enjoy this decade when I was a teenager, proud Xer. God save the 90s. Really crazy years.
I definitely recommend the band Del Amitri, who I believe are criminally underrated.
your videos deserve 1M subscribers!
Never thought about it till he said it but that is the first decade I also complete remember from beginning to end
These videos are awesome, congrats!
1995 was a sad year. Counterculture icon and guitarist Jerry Garcia dies in rehab leaving a vast musical legacy

Would agree if you didn’t include father of all... 😄 that album was a joke
I am a 80's metal kid. bands like Motley Crue, Poison, Guns N' Roses are the band that got me into metal. I love all metal now!!
Last decade of good rock music.
Music in the 1990's sucked.
@@503punxoioioi9so do you
The White Stripes?!?!?!
@@SleepingonThefloornah I'm pretty sure it's you who sucked .
Pantera🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just got addicted to your videos ! :) perfect balance between silly jokes and solid information :) keep it up 👍🏼
What a gem of a video!! 🙌💪🏽😤
At 18:06 you see him about to break character which is amazing
Need a UA-cam edit for 90s! JT these have been great for our middle/high school music appreciation class.
Feel free to edit it as needed. Thanks for sharing!
Oasis , blur nirvana , foo fighters sting , and more are legendary rock and roll bands of the 90s and perhaps of all time
You know, there was a lot of cool music in the 90s
7:35 I know you’ve probably gotten a few comments about this already, but there is no way you can rank this above Master of Puppets, not to mention Ride the Lightning as well. I’d argue against the wording “definitely”
25:51 Well every episode discussing rock music each decade, it will always have The Beatles involved and refrenced.
1950s : The Quarrymen are formed, with John Lennon as frontman, later joined by Paul McCartney and George Harrison.
1960s : The Quarrymen who are renamed The Beatles, become the biggest band of the decade, and most influential band of all time.
1970s : The Beatles break up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo persuing solo careers.
1980s : John Lennon is dead
1990s : Paul, George, and Ringo record two songs using 1970s demos by John Lennon, and release them as Beatles songs
2000s : George Harrison is dead
2010s : Paul and Ringo are still performing into their 70s
2020s : Paul and Ringo finish "Now and Then", using a 1977 demo recording by John, a 1995 recording by George, and 2022-2023 recordings with Paul and Ringo
2030s : Either Paul and Ringo retire or die
2040s : Unlikely they'll be alive but The Beatles will mentally be alive
2050s onwards : Long Live The Beatles!
The Rolling Stones have also technically made an appearance in each episode (used an interview with Keith in the 50s episode).
41:48 - I'm a 43 year old guy who grew up on my parent's Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin albums. I have all those great albums on every modern format including 180g remastered vinyl. I will say that Jagged Little Pill stands up to anything from the 90s. When I was in college that was THE album. In 1995-96, you could hear it blasting out of every girl's dorm room at the University of Toledo, but every guy I knew secretly loved that album too. Today we don't have to be so secretive about it lol.
And if in fact she wrote that album about her angst with breaking up with Dave Coulier, I still feel terrible for the guy 25 years later lol
Love the videos man, but the first part of the 2000s had amazing bands man!
Bon Jovi, Radiohead and Nirvana, that's pretty much all one needs from 90s mainstream rock, sprinkled with some Oasis... but pop was pretty good back then!
Thank God I was a teen in the 80s...!
Great work man keep it up
We are watching jt Curtis videos about rock and roll in music class
Awsome work man. Worth the wait. Now the 2000.
Thanks for everything
hope you know we watch every ep of yours in my history of rock class
Glad to hear! Hope everyone in class enjoys.
JT, you made a very funny impression while playing Weezer's Say It Ain't So! It made me laugh 😂! That's my favorite Weezer song and The Blue Album is their best album without a doubt! I also loved it when you were jamming to Third Eyes Blind's Semi-Charmed Life. Definitely a fun, upbeat and very power pop song. Awesome song!
Anyone else surprised that the 6th highest selling album of the 90s: Cracked Rear View by Hootie & The Blowfish didn’t get at least a shout out? It’s the best selling “rock” album of the decade.
That being said my wife and I were riveted listening to this video and reliving the 90s nostalgia.
