There have been a few notable cases where grunge and alternative artists elevated themselves from the mainstream bull**** and became a defining pinnacle. Radiohead comes to mind, as well as Blind Melon (mostly because Shannon Hoon was amazing). Actually, I'm getting kinda tired of this blanket "alternative" label that people (I scarcely know who) have been putting on rock music. What will they call it when someone refuses to accept that label? Alternative-alternative rock?
