Hmmm, grunge. As someone who who experienced grunge contemporaneously (as a teenager) I have to say it would be difficult to nail it down as a definable "style" of music. Most of the so-called big grunge bands of the time like AIC, Pearl Jam, & Sound Garden sounded nothing alike and never really even subscribed to the genre. AIC & Sound Garden were were self proclaimed industrial rock. With Nirvana being the unwilling flag bearer of an entire genre cooked up by MTV to be able to categorize something that at the time defied categorization. It's widely thought the burden of being the driving commercialization force behind a genre cast on to him was one of the contributing factors in Kurt Cobain's suicide. Well that, heavy heroin use, and an ongoing relationship with Courtney Love. Grunge was more of generational feeling or attitude than it was a specific style of music. Having said that, I do still love Temple of the Dog. The only so-called "grunge" super group. It makes me sad to think that Eddie is about the only one of the "grunge" vocalist left. Grunge was one of those rare examples of heavily commercialized music industry attempting to pull itself up by the bootstraps and make good, real, honest rock and roll. Unfortunately it seems that when ever this happens its followed by the untimely death of most of its front runners and leaders. But then again it seems in the music industry the brightest stars (artistically) burn out the fastest. Ok, I'm done rambling.I like it. Now let's hear a grunge version.
I have always love the fun of this band. And the talent of the song writers behind them.
Michael Nesmith became a well respected writer & singer after the Monkeys.
Nothing wrong with a wide musical taste; everything is worth a listen at least once!...yeah I do jump around a bit
