Great underrated and unknown grunge bands: Tad Skin Yard Gruntruck Love Battery Mad Season (supergroup that only did 1 album but had Layne Staley and members of Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees) Green River (members would eventually become part of Mudhoney and Pearl Jam) Some of the “post-grunge” bands were okay in Bush (they did have like one really good album), Candlebox, and Live. We won’t discuss any other “post-grunge” bands, lol.
They had some grunge albums and were a definite influence but they also had a lot of other stuff that wasn’t grunge. But I listen to some of their grungey stuff like Stoner Witch and Bullhead from time to time.
Forgot to mention the female grunge - L7 (the best), Babes in Toyland (also strong), and of course, Hole (the most overrated) although “Live Through This” is a good album.
Oh man… I saw L7 live once. Should I spoiler what I saw????? Noooo. Spoiler: Rock&Roll Guitar player was on her period and pulled out the tampon and threw it into the crowd
Where's the love for Jane's Addiction? and it's Pearl Jam by a mile jomama - you know this. And I'm half the man I used to be.
Retrospectively, I like '90s STP a lot more. Their music holds up better in my opinion. Post-90s, Pearl Jam is still putting out good music and STP faded away, largely because of Weiland's passing.
I remember buying this and tool undertow the same day thinking the name sounded similar (a noun and something hard) I had heard of them both before then. This is the only song I ever really liked from helmet though.
Silverchair Babes in Toyland Local H (ha!) Toadies The U-Men The GITS (very underrated, Mia Zapata should be a huge star) Babes in Toyland Hole ("Live through This" is amazing) Blood Circus Helmet Willard Everclear (yup - I don't care) Tripping Daisies Sonic Youth Blind Melon Catt Butt Dickless Hazel Fecal Matter At this point I would start listing ones I really don't care for like Puddle of Mudd... Dover, Sharp Nine....Gumball
