    We could go round and round with this debate. Round and round.
    I'll tell you why.

    Looking at you, looking at me. The way you post, you know it's easy to see.

    People have had trouble nailing them down:

    Prog rock / Art rock / Alt. Metal

    I call them "earnest", but I do like them.

    Gish. But then smashing pumpkins got much better when they tossed the grunge.

    Punk, Post-punk, New Wave, Dark Wave, Post-Modern, Power-pop, Hardcore, Thrash, Alternative... It all influenced Grunge

    Nirvana was heavily influenced by The Pixies and Echo & The Bunnymen

    There first album maybe a little, but probably not.

    You're right, but all these great songs keep popping up so why not post them -- we'll keep the focus on grunge bands, but there are some great alt bands that came out during the 'grunge years'. Hard not to include them.

    But, as I posted earlier, sp became much better after they dropped the grunge sound of Gish... Well quiet still had a grungy sound. But that's probably the worst song on Siamese dream.

    There were a whole bunch of bands that weren't really "grunge", but were superficially close enough that if you squinted they looked kind of grudge-ish. Labels had them record with "grunge producers" like Butch Vig, played up the aspects that were grunge-like and tried cash in on the grunge obsession.

    Social Distortion.

    Meat Puppets.

    Even Sonic Youth had a "grungy" moment.

    Even a band like the Afghan Whigs, who were one of the core Sub Pop bands, really had their R&B influences toned down to make them more prototypically grunge, because that was the fast track to selling records.
