perhaps you're befuddled into thinking that Nirvana's popular period is "grunge" but it's just stoner/hard rock

grunge would actually be something like a cross between Mudhoney (stoner-punk) and Melvins (sludge metal)
I didn't really like the description of grunge either and I didn't want to draw comparisons to Nirvana (which I guess was inevitable); I just think the sound of those albums is grungy, but that's not really the right adjective.

How would you label or classify the sound of Crimson's 73-74 period, and their 1995 to "Power To Believe" Period? I know many people don't like labels, and I normally don't either, but I'm really interested in this particular case, and I would love to hear people's description of the sound.
