I'm slowly making my way through this article...my attention span won't allow me to read the whole thing at once...LOL...I DID want to respond to this, though...

Quote: Try looking for Grunge past bands like Nickelback and Staind

I disagree with this simply because, if you listen to the lyrics, Nickelback actually IS "hair metal"...I mean, look at his "grunge" hair! There is gel in there, folks...Nickelback is actually reviving "hair metal", whether they know it or not...as for Staind, they are the homogenized radio grunge that was actually created AFTER the initial so-called "grunge" movement that included Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam/Mother Love Bone, Smashing Pumpkins, and Alice In Chains...other examples of the radio grunge are Bush and Candlebox...

(note to readers: check out Kevin Martin of Candlebox, then listen to Stapp...yup, Kevin was an influence, as Stapp was cutting his vocal chops on Candlebox covers back in his early days before Creed...)
