neil young is the godfather of grunge
jane's addiction barely predated nirvana and I would put sonic youth, pixies, green river, mudhoney, melvins, etc before them
jane's addiction is alt rock but not really grunge at all IMO

Neil Young and Crazy Horse were actually the original grungers. Tons of feedback for their time. Came out with a great live album during the first Gulf War.

Agreed - re: Neil Young, but can also go back further to Velvet Underground as the true alternate creators...
Jane's BTW made up the early 80's LA scene with Chili Peppers & Fishbone...way before Nirvana formed. There was a legendary battle amongst recording studios to get them signed in 83-84.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Grunge is crap anyway. Don't know why anyone cares. Just a bunch of guys who looked like they were allergic to soap, water or any concept of personal grooming taking the stage as though they just got off a shift at the gas station. No showmanship whatsoever. Lyrics mumbled into the mic so as to be incoherent accompanied by a wailing and screeching cacophony of guitars.
Of course, what took over from grunge was even worse: hip-hop.

And it followed guys would looks like girls and put makeup on, who followed guys in torn up clothes and pins and who could barely play any instruments, who followed guys in high heels and long hairs and beards who were high as the sky all the time, etc.
The only constants is that pretty much most rock acts have been allergic to soap and showers and have done heavy drug use.
One ball Kessel just tweeted a gem.
Yeah, what?
Basically that he knows should be doing something else other than sitting at home with his dog.
"Just sitting around the house tonight w my dog. Felt like I should be doing something important, but couldn't put my finger on it."

I grew up in the 70s and 80s, but I don't know how someone cannot be mesmerized by the guitar rifts in a song like "Come as you are" or "All Apologies". Somehow the guitars sound a bit off tune or purposely detuned...but it was a great new sound. Not necessarily a new trick, but presented a different way.
