Do you even realize how much Pearl Jam owe to Neil Young? Without Neil Young, Pearl Jam as you know it probably wouldn't have existed.

Pearl Jam stinks. One good CD that wasn't really that great. They basically gave all these crappy post-grunge bands a blueprint to recycle.

Neil Young is definitely an influence on grunge attitude and the unplugged thing, but I wouldn't say he's the biggest. Hardcore bands had direct influence. Many of the early "grunge" artists were hardcore bands who had the label attached to them later. Also, grunge isn't a genre really. None of the artists really sound similar aside from the later ones that popped up after Pearl Jam.

Pearl Jam are great and thats the only part of your post I disagree with, because the rest is pretty much spot on, as none of the main artists sounded that similiar.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Like Ten and Vs. sort of.

I'd have to disagree. I've found the consistent sound for grunge as being a slower, heavier variation of hardcore punk. Didn't Black Flag's My War have a huge influence on grunge artists? When I hear that record I can definitely see why it would.

Just add some distortion, simple fix to make Anything sound good.

Forward To Death · 03-22-2012, 06:22 PM

Yeah, sort of, but with production to help it sound more mainstream. I think Soundgarden, AIC and Pearl Jam sound way different from that though. AIC and Soundgarden were heavier and more like metal than hardcore. Pearl Jam was something different entirely, no hardcore or metal influence at all. Most of the original Seattle "grunge" bands were just hardcore acts, Nirvana included.

I guess they have basic similarities in that they were mainstreamy alternative rock sounding, which is probably the criteria for being labeled a grunge band.

If there's one thing I could say to two of the greatest songwriters ever it would be: "not enough distortion".

AIC and soundgarden werent entirely metal in my opinion. Especially AIC. Maybe "facelift" was a metal album, but they evolved a lot and were very versatile. I thinly their music can't be limited to metal only.
