of course mudhoney is grunge... Pearl Jam and STP though were not! They had a few similarities...

Seen Mudhoney something like 8 times in my life actually... used to run into Mark Arm all the time at record shops too...

^I'm jealous. Why am I the only person who's mentioned Green River?

IndiElectronica · 06-20-2006, 09:02 AM

green river and Melvins are the orginators of Grunge - you are right

I've seen ALL these bands... and mostly was wasted on me. I wanted to be in Madchester at the time - lol! Seeing Melvins again in fact this Dec... should be good. The last time I crowd surfed (over 10 years ago) was at a melvins gig.... nearly broke my tailbone!! haha

I'm a bigger fan of the indie/grunge scene than the grunge scene.
Dinosaur Jr.
Pixies
Pavement

I just dont listen to a lot of the music you like. A few groups I do listen to for enjoyment rather than a technical aspect(like Motley Crue), but I have a decent music library.

actually, pearl jam is grunge. i don't know if stp is though, they might be alternative or something

Pearl Jam and STP are bands that labels pushed as grunge but really are just alternative rock bands.

Green River were decent, but they were just beginning musicians. I like them better than Mother Love Bone, but I still prefer Pearl Jam.
