I'd have thought they'd go for

nirvana smells like teen spirit
pearl jam jeremy
soundgarden black hole sun
as the top three

who else got on~?


they were there

i think i came in during no.6

screaming trees all i know

no.5
soundgarden..that one of badmotorfinger, forgot the name

no.4

aic would of course

no.3

pearl jam - alive ..see that

no.2 nirvana smell likes teen spirit...obvious but meh

missed teh ones before..

that;s what makes stp at no.1 ridiculous

if that was just the top 6??


All I know is a fucking tune

No Mudhoney?

Green River?

Tad?


didn;t see

before 6

must have had mudhoney

tad would be ironic considering they weren't allowed on mtv when they existed

doubt green river would have featured to be honest


do people vote these charts?

or are they just mtv best ofs?


don't mind stp

but..

no

no no no no no


No Dinosaur Jr?

:(


Me either

Start Choppin' is pretty grunge I guess.

But plaid shirts and lots of hair do not a grunge artist make


what does then?

there wasnt really an idetifiable sound at the start was there? I would say plaid shirts and pacific northwesterness were the main two identifiers


4 Real

Plus 'Grunge' was highly localised, Dino couldn't have been further away from it not to mention the fact that they'd been playing for a good 8 years before the term became common currency.


To be honest

I don't really like the term 'grunge'.

It's far too meaningless. Afghan Whigs and Screaming Trees were grunge, were they? Just in the same way that Pearl Jam and Mudhoney both were?


Screaming Trees, yes, but..........

I never once heard The Afghan Whigs referred to as a grunge band at the time.

There seems to have been a bit of revisionism in the years since by people who can't have been paying any attention whilst it was all happening.

I <3 The Afghan Whigs so much, but they were clearly far more influenced by blues and soul than anything.

Sure, they were signed to Sub Pop and popular amongst the same sort of people, but other than that I don't know why they seem to have acquired the tag.


first album

was very garage rocky though


i bet they squeezed a sonic youth song into 'grunge'

at some point

and a Hole song


im guessing

Puddle of Mudd and Silverchair instead


Ahhh..........

A lot of people out there think that Dirty was their only album.


100% video

was soooo grunge and sooo good. the song was kind of grunge


Jason Lee is in that video.......

back from his pro-skateboarder day.

Stereo Skateboards <3


it's true

that bands from seattle with little in common musically were lumped into teh grunge tag.

but how did sunny day real estate escape this?

like, completely
