Except for that, yes.

Been there, discussed that. Please check the last eighty pages.

I agree with you. I have never considered Grunge as a true genre. The actual music made by "grunge" bands is not easily or consistently distinguished from bands in the wider rock genre. It was all thrown into the more comprehensive ¨alternative¨ bag later in the 90s. It was a fashion description that got transferred to the music to make it easier on lazy magazine writers and marketing departments. That the term came to describe almost any band from Seattle was a bit ridiculous. None of them sounded the same. I mean, Alice In Chains had next to nothing in common with bands like Nirvana or Pearl Jam. We keep forgetting/ignoring how Rock was reduced to being on life support thanks to Grunge. Celebrate the death of "hair metal" all you want but in the process Rock was reduced to a status it has yet to recuperate from commercially and artistically. Not something I want to celebrate.

Grunge caused 9/11, Cobain is Satan and Hair Metal was unfairly dropped by the labels, not because most of it was ****, but because of a huge conspiracy between grunge bands, labels, MTV, ZOG, the Pod People and probably Oprah.

Pretty much it.

Ratt was one powerful act in the 80's. "Round and Round" is a absolutely PERFECT song. Wanted Man is a killer intro tune into Out Of The Cellar. I saw Ratt live back in the day. I’m afraid to play any of my Ratt cassettes because I fear they might disintegrate! I wore those things out 25+ years ago and I guess I’m lucky to even still have them. Love Dokken and have all their stuff. Don Dokken is the Phil Mogg of Heavy Metal. Just fantastic melodies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8E6IMlPTv4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=q_WMP1gebP0

Out of the Cellar is certainly awesome.
