Nirvana is my favorite grunge band, simply because they have the most songs that I like. I also liked most of the others listed, except I didn't care for Pearl Jam that much. That said, grunge was always secondary to alternative for me and my 90s were ruled by the Smashing Pumpkins.
one thing is for sure,Hole and Courtney Love would've never gotten any attention.
True, if Kurt hadn't died, Hole wouldn't have gotten as much airplay. I am glad that Kurt helped them get onto a major label before he died. At least Hole ended up getting airplay, because I am a big fan of Hole's music. I really wish their break had occurred somehow else and Kurt would still be alive though. Sure, without the popularity gained in Kurt's death, I may never have heard of Hole. But I'm sure there are a lot of bands I would LOVE whom I've never heard of. Just wanted to suggest that although Hole rode on Kurt's coattails into popularity, it doesn't mean that they were undeserving.
Why are some of you arguing what IS and ISN'T grunge.
Why do you care?
It's music. What difference does it make what label is put on it?
I think they're arguing semantics because the subject of the topic necessitates it.
