There were a few others. Alternative Tentacles Records, Placebo which had J.F.A., Dischord with Minor Threat, Fugazi, Rites of Spring etc., Touch And Go had Butthole Surfers, and Big Black.... Sub pop brought us alot of the "grunge" bands as well, I used to hunt down no-name bands on their label just to hear something different while the rest of the world was wearing flannels in 80 degree weather and foaming at the mouth over kurt cobain

That describes me in the 80's. I spent my weekends going from city to city, record store to record store buying vinyl. The 80's were actually a great time for music, it's just a lot of it was over-looked or forgotten". Ya' gotta' realize, MTV dictated America's musical taste. That's what killed music...right there
MTV is awful, once they started with the "real world" we were all screwed, I remember back when it had 120 minutes, I would watch it all the time and usually find at least a dozen or so new bands/albums I had to hunt down. I learned of "Curve" from that show, and it took me over 2 months to find DoppelGanger but alas one day I found it at Tower Records and I was so stoked. Now we don't have a Tower Records anymore, we only have one music store that's decent, and a bunch of chain stores  I used to make a night of going to all the different places, scoring new music, the going home and listening to it until all hours lol I don't think MTV killed music, but they did a lot of damage and continue to this day to work tirelessly to destroy our youth as well with an ominous onslaught of awful shows I thought MTV2 would maybe save them a bit, but now all they do is play re-runs on that channel and no music either.

I enjoyed MTV up until the point that the programming changed. I cant remember when that was but I remember watching it through graduation and that would have been 1990. It just started to steadily decline and then all of those stupid "reality programs" set in.
 I enjoyed 120 Minutes and also that Alternative Nation.

I just download everything now, it's pretty much the only way I can find anything anymore. |

 I was exactly the same way. I watched MTV everyday until they quit showing music videos and started just showing a bunch of crap in the mid 90s.
