And there seems to be a lot of bitterness that this homeless looking kid who "who couldn't even sweep pick" ended up killing off some of their favourite bands from the 80s.
The vast majority of the acts you named are broadly "rock" acts that were big in the 70s and 80s, with a few white bread musicals and operas thrown in for "culture". And Yanni. Not exactly my go to person for an opinion on the merits of music made post 1989.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'killing off some of their favourite bands from the 80s'. Do you mean that Nirvana cornered so much of the market other bands were forced out of business? Or when previous bands heard how awesome Nirvana were, they just decided to give up? I think the 'nothing could be the same again' after this or that band came along' narrative is a bit exaggerated.

Name one mainstream rock band from the 80s that cruised through the 90s unaffected?

The music world lost nothing when that waste product took the short road home. Truly a profoundly overrated band. In my opinion they were clearly the least talented of the entire - mostly worthless - Seattle grunge movement. Born 20 years too late I see? Look at the bands I've seen, man. What have you seen? Big Bang? Black Pink? EXO?hahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaYou saw them, but did you hear them? Of course I heard them. I still listen to most. I forgot to add Stompin' Tom Connors, Neil Diamond and Neil Young, Jethro Tull and The Rolling Stones to the list. There will be others that pop into my head I'm sure.Admittedly, seeing The Stones was a total fluke. They're another band I think are untalented over-rated very average musicians and I wouldn't pay to see them play in my backyard. (I'd probably call in a noise complaint LOL) But, my friend had a huge fight with his girlfriend and she buggered off and he offered to sell me her ticket. I said no. They were basically on their way to the concert at the time. I refused to pay for the ticket and he didn't want to go alone so he gave it to me and we went together. I did bring the smokables, however. I've never worked in an office. Look at the list of acts I've seen live and ask yourself if LIC really has musical tunnel vision? I could have seen Nirvana, I didn't go because I thought they were an over-rated garage band. I think some of you are jealous :-)I've never seen Led Zeppelin or Bad Company and that is regrettable. FYI, U.K. I thought sucked despite having a seriously talented group of musicians. Now off you go, back to listen to Girl's Generation.

As far as I'm concerned, any list that doesn't have Negative Creep is incomplete.
