We got the '00s and imo it was quite good, so I wouldn't change it for the '90s if we are talking about purely music. Pop was much better though, I give you that.

[Demogorgon]

i was 6; i have fond memories of hearing "Head Like a Hole" and "Terrible Lie" playing through the speakers of my dad's two-door subaru as i sat in the back seat; he had the album on cassette tape. i may still have that tape lying around somewhere.
