Thirty years have passed, so what became of 1994's breakout bands?

For all the early buzz, there was a lot of fizzle of the hype by the time all was said and done.

From grunge to nu-metal, pop-punk to Brit-rock and all the alternative stuff around it, the '90s were a great period for rock music.

We're rockin' around the Christmas tree and into a long list of rock stars who are celebrating their birthdays this month.

Bold messages about women's rights, safety and anger.

The song's spoken sections are all but indecipherable.

Break out the flannel and rock out once more.

Falling down a mountain but helping out roadies in need.
