technically you could list grunge under metal.... if you've watched "metal a headbangers journey"

Well Nirvana do have metal influences, especially on Bleach, namely being Black Sabbath and some crossover-thrash bands such as Clown Alley, but they have more punk influences than metal influences in my view. To me their music is well and truly under the alternative rock banner rather than metal itself. The thing is with the grunge label is that while many bands were labelled 'grunge' there was a lot of diversity in sound and you have more metal-sounding bands like Alice In Chains being categorised along with more punk-sounding bands such as Nirvana and Mudhoney.

I see the Pixies have a regular Surfer Rosa but they also have a Surfer Rosa/Come On Pilgrim combo. Should I get that or normal Surfer Rosa?

I disagree with what Conan says and reckon you should get the combo, as Come on Pilgrim has some great material on it and its a great package with Surfer Rosa.

Alright, cool thanks guys.
