The Left: '80s Rock that Doesn't Stink
There’s a pretty pervasive way of look at the trajectory of rock music. Pretty frequently the eighties are dismissed and assumed to have possessed scant acts capable of working up proper music that had any sort of understandable usefulness. Grunge then becomes the next thing after the seventies which people attribute any worth to. The weird thing is, though, most of the bands affiliated with that “movement” stink. Seriously, go back and listen to it. Apart from Nirvana – and by extension Mudhoney, the Melvins and a few other Seattle bands – all of it’s derivative tripe.
