I'll gladly link to it. <BR/><BR/>As for me, I don't think the list would be improved by having the narrowest possible definition of grunge. Also, I address all this in the commentary in between the photos and the list itself.John Althouse Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703450281424023177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-47060691708921167632008-07-11T17:14:00.000-04:002008-07-11T17:14:00.000-04:00It's looking like the list is going to be more abo...It's looking like the list is going to be more about "alternative" music than strict grunge. I am sure the list will be good, as it's off to a good start, but it's not grunge, per se.zdwyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270130833565599688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-82902888312973882432008-07-11T15:51:00.000-04:002008-07-11T15:51:00.000-04:00My favorite Turn It On.My favorite <A HREF="http://youtube.com/watch?v=_DZWW5ZsYpU" REL="nofollow">Turn It On</A>.chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-4004407159414920352008-07-11T15:17:00.000-04:002008-07-11T15:17:00.000-04:00Be sure to stop back in two months!LOL.I forgot ab...<EM>Be sure to stop back in two months!</EM><BR/><BR/>LOL.<BR/><BR/>I forgot about Bush.

I don't want to give anything away, but I'll just say that Nirvana was the #1 band I had in mind when I said, "I'm going to generally have just one song per band." That rule will naturally be unfair to Nirvana. <BR/><BR/>At the end of all this, I'm going to close with some thoughts on the darker side of grunge, of which your comment about finding out about Cobain's suicide is an eerily prescient foreshadowing.
