I've finally some time to smoke a cigarr and contemplate after a very busy, almost frentic, week in the accidental life of me. But I gotta hand it to this week - it has been damn good.
Anywho - I'm just going through my Grunge collection and read recently that it was only three bands that mattered from that era: Nirvana, Pearl Jam and my favorite Soundgarden. Maybe, it's just the music critics fascination with the magic number three or they don't know better. I, as you might think, do not concur. You have to add Alice in Chains (Dirt is just playing) and Stone Temple Pilots.
Grunge coincided with my college years and what a fortune that was. The darkness, the searching and the poetic lyrics was the perfect fit. Still is. Just look at Staind, Audioslave (w/ Chris Cornell), Foo Fighters (w/ David Grohl), Nickelback, Hoobastank, Velvet Revolver, Crossfade et cetera. That said, we know everything started with Led Zeppelin. Nothing happened before, some after. Who's Elvis?
