Mother Love Bone

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

Mother Love Bone was an American band that formed in Seattle in 1988. The band was active from 1988 to 1990. Frontman Andrew Wood's personality and compositions helped to catapult the group to the top of the burgeoning late 1980s/early 1990s Seattle music scene. Wood died only days before the scheduled release of the band's debut album, Apple, thus ending the group's hopes of success. The album was finally released a few months later. Although Mother Love Bone is to this day remembered by many as a very talented band in its own right, its legacy, for some, is overshadowed by Wood's death and the bands that its former members would later form.

 

I just was ripping many CD's to FLAC and the CD "Stardog Champion" came up. I ripped it and loved the sound of the band, and think if Andrew Wood (Vocals) would not have died that they would have been the next Aerosmith or Pearl Jam.

 

Anyone who is looking for a good rock band to listen to, check these guys out and let me know what you think of them.

Singles soundtrack turned me on to the band.

and, also, i was loving pearl jam at the time (1993 or so) and was exploring their roots - green river, mother love bone, etc.

"This is Shangrilla" is a great sounding track, that's what made me love the band. Also "Chloe Dancer/ Crown of Thorns" ends the album greatly.
