Me either. It sucks.
And I dont want to seem unfairly biased...I used to be a huge grunge fanboy, I owned cds by Mad Season, Temple of the dog, STP, Alice In chains...I own every Nirvana album, inclusing the with the lights out boxset and a burned cd of rarities and b-sides...its lke I said though, one I discovered other stuff from the time like pavement, pixies, my bloody valentine, and guided by voices, it all paled ALOT in comparison. It didnt stick, and continued to be overplayed.
Branching out led to my dismissal of grunge, and Ive never looked back, because those bands I mentioned have albums that I treasure 1000% more than any 'grunge' album I ever owned.
Ironically it was alot of suggestions by Kurt Cobain mentioned in interviews that led me to branch out, introducing me to The Vaselines, Meat Puppets, Pixies, P.I.L., Sonic Youth, and a buttload more.
