what do you mean how so?
neil young is the grandfather of grunge,.... listen to his stuff after CSNY, solo and during his crazy horse days,... lyrically haunting and,.....often deeply woven words,......his chord progressions,....alot of the bleak mournfulness in his voice,.....

you now,...the whole reason sweet home was written was in responce to a song called alabama off of neil's harvest album it basically trashed bama, and spoke of how it never recovered from the war,...blah blah blah,......but in most ways, it really was kinda true,..... and as the good southerner i am, i often get alot of flack for my love of neil young,.....but i do just love him,....lot of it is the connection with my father i feel when listenin to it,....he's dad's ( a good georgia boy) favorite song writter and i always remember it played when i was at his house,..... but the older i got, the more i stated listenin to IT and not just the nostaliga of it,....and all i can say is,.....wow,.... old man take a look at my life, i'm alot like you, i need someone to hold me the whole day through,.... 24 and there's so much more, live alone in a paradise that makes me think of two,.... sorry y'all,....i'm a big neil young fan to say te least

Alice in Chains was one of the most under-rated bands ever. With Nirvana and Pearl Jam all over MTV and pop radio, AIC's "darker" sound wasnt so media friendly. Layne had one of the most beautiful voices ever. And the lyrics were as real as they get. Many songs about Layne's battle with heroin. Put on some headphones, turn them to 10, lay back, and listen to "Sap", "Jar of Flies", "Dirt" or maybe even "MTV Unplugged" and then tell me that they're "generic".
