Love Bites was the other song I heard! Now I remember.
Weird to hear Aerosmith,Whitesnake,Kiss,Journey,and then freaking Haelstorm.
The thing I find interesting is that a good amount of the ‘80s was still angsty and serious, but with happy-sounding music. “Beds Are Burning” by Midnight Oil was about the Australian genocide against Aboriginals, “I Melt with You” by Modern English and “99 Red Balloons” by Nena were about nuclear holocaust, “Primal Scream” by Mötley Crüe was about child abuse, “Kickstart My Heart” and “Mr. Brownstone” were about drug addiction, and do I even need to mention Iron Maiden and Skid Row? So it’s not that serious music didn’t exist, but it was still at least fun to listen to. Nirvana was not fun, just as most grunge bands weren’t fun, and that’s an issue with modern rock that has lingered on since the ‘90s and is, in my opinion, part of what is bringing down the genre.
(I mean, Nevermind is 30 years old. People need to let it go and try new things with music already.)
Also, I never liked metalcore, which may be another part of why I don’t like modern rock.

LMAO!! Ah, man, I hate that I laughed that that. Foo Fighters are pretty damn great, though. I enjoy them a great deal better than a lot of post-grunge acts.
@Dex Stewart
Those are both good songs. The other ones of theirs that I’ve heard on mainstream radio are “I Miss the Misery,” “Uncomfortable,” “Love Bites (So Do I),” and “Do Not Disturb.” (It was actually the latter one that encouraged me to check out their entire discography.)
