STP and Pearl Jam are a tie for me - both awesome bands.

I don't have a problem with the ideal of grunge, The thought of someone putting Black Sabbath style riffs with punk/indie ideals & attitudes appeals to me.

Grunge was supposed to be the great break out of the American Underground , but that wasn't what happened. All that happened was record labels signed up any scruffy band that looked and sounded miserable , in a lot of cases ex hair metal bands (EG Alice In Chains & Pearl Jam) There were a few exceptions like Mudhoney who run out of ideas shortly after their first album came out , and Soundgarden who despite showing some signs of promise on Ultramega OK decided to be some crappy Sabbath tribute band instead.

But other than that the whole grunge thing led to the whole 'alternative' thing where people actually believed that by listening to major label **** like the Smashing Pumpkins & Bush that they were under the deluded impression that they were listening to the alternative to the mainstream when in reality real alternative labels and bands struggled to compete against the growing monopoly of the big 4 labels.
The whole thing was a lie , and the music was mostly rubbish and thats why I hate it.
I don't even know where to start with this.

Ah f*ck it, I'll keep it simple, everything you just said is wrong.

No,.....no, I remember when it all went down. Urban's pretty spot on with this one.

Not even close.

I'm not disagreeing that the whole Grunge label was just media hype. But rather I disagree (strongly) with him saying the music sucked, and for dissing The Smashing Pumpkins who are one of my favorite bands. Nothing I haven't heard from Urban before, I just get rather tired of him talking trash about 95% of the music I like.

And saying "Pearl Jam used to be a hair metal band" is just a pathetic distortion of the truth. PJ originated from 2 different bands, Green River and Mother Love Bone, and the former certainly weren't hair metal and the latter while looking like they were trying to be GnR didn't really have a sound that I would call hair metal. Besides the only guys from that band who joined PJ were Gossard and Ament. I mean give me a break, who even cares what band PJs bassist and rhythm guitarist used to play for?

Bush certainly do suck though, I won't argue that.

Wow 2 whole paragraphs to say I was half wrong about Pearl Jam.

What about the rest? you said it was all rubbish.
