To be honest, I can't name more than a few bands (since I probably wouldn't have listened to them) anymore than I can name more than one or two Raymond Carver imitators. I say this as someone who adores John Ashbery, who has probably spawned more bad imitators than any poet in my lifetime. I find the phenomenom interesting in it's own way.<br /><br />But yes, that whole grunge school of rock doesn't move me, which is on me, and yes, I thought people might find today's topic more fun to talk about today than POTUS 12, which I still don't want to think about.BDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557941385560728052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-64721015526398860892011-09-26T10:11:09.260-04:002011-09-26T10:11:09.260-04:00I wasn't taking issue with the non-sainthood, ...I wasn't taking issue with the non-sainthood, but was wondering which bands are their imitators.<br /><br />(I also liked the bands you name in your parenthetical [all of whom, Pearl Jam esp, probably influenced more subsequent garbage].... but then I was in college when they came out, and had come from a classic rock-only background. They're all basically classic rock-ish bands with either a punk or metal edge, or both.
