I think songs depend upon time, and are relative.
Mozart wrote some good "songs", as did Liszt and Beethoven, Mahler and Elton John and Michael Jackson, Rush, The Doors and Gershwin and the BeeGees with and for Barbra Streisand.

The best song ever is the one you relate to for yourself, and you own personal taste and rhythm.

Saying Greengay is grunge is an insult to grunge... If you want to give them a genre then call it "Idiots who play instruments and spew meaningless words in the form of a song"
Alice in Chains is the essence of grunge.

Cobain hated the word 'grunge'.
keep the punk ethos alive and millions of people were buying his records and making
him the very antithesis of what he did not want to become, somebody's hero. Mmmm
reminds me of an SLF song, Nobody's Hero, anyhow, Courtney killed him and done a
runner with the dosh! so what does it matter now.

The only thing you need remember is, that for better or for worse, Mudhoney were the origonal (international) "grunge" band.
Originally posted by Trev33Without Mudhoney perhaps another band would've stepped up and played the "mudhoney role" in the evolution of rock music. Perhaps not. But Mudhoney definately paved the way for Nirvana. In the U.S. and here (in Australia). I'm not sure of their influence in Europe
Without Mudhoney there'd be no Nirvana. Probably.
Mudhoney started using two electric guitars with the WORST distortion effects ever compiled, and made it somehow poppy a bit,too.
It really is that alternative use of the distortion pedal that "grunge" ever came about more than the musical style. Their style was punk as was their presence on stage (especially Nirvana,very punky)
