How in the fuck did the Black Crowes make it and not the Smashing Pumpkins?

Whom did Jimi page tour with?

Prolly a coin flip between Pumpkins and Crowes. Both were about the same level of importance in the 90s.

You serious Clark?

As a 90s kid cannot confirm. Pumpkins were far far more important.

Record sales about equal for both groups at 30,000,000. Just one metric. Don't twist.

Must have been for old people. I didn't know a single person who listened to Black Crowes. Not in Seattle. Not in North Carolina. I knew a ton of people who loved the Pumpkins in both (and a ton who hated them in both).

Youtube seems to agree. Those 90s kids grew up and watch Youtube. Those old people apparently do not. Black Crowes has one video with over 10 million views (and only one more with 5). Pumpkins has 7.

I'd be shocked if the average 90s rock fan can name more than one Black Crowes song. Or a single member of the band.

Lots of truth in here. I'm a big Crowes fan. Loved them in their prime. But, to be completely honest, their prime lasted about 2 years. Pumpkins, Green Day and Tool were all more influential and should have made it in over them.

Look Yella, I didn't piss all over you with metal bands.

Or Green Day? Or the Foo Fighters? Or The Killers? Or The Goo Goo Dolls?

Hell, I’d even put a band like My Chemical Romance up against The Black Crowes. I’d definitely choose Welcome to the Black Parade ahead of anything from The Black Crowes

Forgot the Foo Fighters. They certainly should have made it, but I am guessing Yella thought with three Seattle bands already...

Also I was downvoted by @RoadDawg55 for making fun of U2, which confirms my theory that the only people who like U2 are girls and asian guys.

Note to self: form a seeding committee of trusted expurts. I'll start looking a resumes later this year.

This resume is an old one for me, but I don't have a new one. TIA for your consideration.
