    Truth is that GRUNGE took us real music freex out of the dark ages of rock, the bl++dy 80's (YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK) and brought the art back into music :):). I dig Nirvana, Alice 'n' Chains but less Soundgarden and Mudhoney!:)

    I believe you are correct about Jimi tho it wasnt till he hooked up with the experience in the uk that he became famous. Love neil young.decade and harvest are the two i listen to most

    Grunge was a serious door opener for my generation into 60's and 70's music. People I knew at the time who were heavily into hair bands and cheap ass clickety clack R&B, were all of a sudden into The Doors, The Who and Sabbath. Throw in In Utero and Dookie (not Seattle, of course) around 1994 and it was as if rock from 1966 to 1973 was totally hip again.

    Then Hanson and Spice Girls came along and I knew the fun was over. Since then it's been nothing but trailer tramps and young guys from the suburbs pretending to be rural cowboys.
