The Cure also wrote some great songs.

System of a Down came along and just blew stuff away as far as song writing,drumming, and dual vocalists were concerned. Haven't heard a bad song from them.
U2 wrote the song "One".
R.E.M. did "Losing my religon"
Do you want more?...

Johnny Cash's American Recordings lit up my 90s.

There's: I don't care if I ever hear those songs again in my lifetime.

And: I don't care if I never hear those songs again in my lifetime.

The first one has the negative 'don't' and the positive 'ever' in it, while the second one has the negative 'don't' and the negative 'never' in it.

So do both sentences - although ostensibly grammatically opposite in meaning - in fact, mean the same thing, somehow?

Curiously, yes - but I think that's because the important part of the sentence is 'I don't care', so that whether one doesn't care if something 'ever' or 'never' occurs again makes no real difference, since one doesn't care...

And I think 60s and 70s rock is overrated, especially by grandpas like yourself.
I have no grandchildren. :'(

Yep,Radiohead did cool stuff.
The RHCPeppers always seem to use tasty (rather than show-offy guitar leads)
I used to play bass in a metal band that covered 'Enter Sandman". Boy was that stuff fun to play...

There was a lot of crap in th 90's but music was deversifying so much.
I love the Youth Groups version of 'Forever Young". I think it was origonally a Bob Dylan song. Awesome! I had to write the lyrics and chords to that one...

The first half of the 90's were a high water mark for rock music. I would say the best since the mid 70's. Since 95 or so has been a real disapointment.

I hold Oasis responsible for killing indie rock music.
