First of all I don`t really care what someones motivation for making music is. I judge it purely on what I hear.If it sounds like a weak Nirvana clone thats obviously only been signed by a record company to make a bit of money then i`ll say thats what it is. And if you think there are any less people invoved in grunge that are 'in it for the money' than any other genre you are seriously deluding yourself. If artists were about 'the music' and not money perhaps you can point me in the direction of all the best critically acclaimed grunge albums released on independent labels between 1994 & 2000.

When you bring up songs written by other bands and songwriters this shows that the bands that re-did the song had respect towards the artist
that originally made it, it's no wonder why those songs were good because those bands like Mudhoney spent days trying to make the song great and it was a very great song as well as all of the other re-did songs.
I would try & counter this point but I have a feeling not even you know what it is.
