Well, in my opinion, I don't see why the Beatles are "so great", and don't give me the influence bullshit. I think The Beatles are the most overrated band that ever existed. And no, I don't care that your mom liked them, or your dad, or anyone. I don't like them.

As for "Not making it past the 90's" Um... Post-Grunge? , Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Pilots, Filter, Breaking Benjamin, and Nickelback are all Popular Post-Grunge bands. Foo Fighters is the drummer from Nirvana, and he's the Rhythm Guitarist and Lead Vocalist. (On the first album, he did everything). So... Grunge's influence is very alive.

Btw, Alice In Chains (Grunge band) is back together (with a new vocalist). I don't necessarily like the new work, but it's Grunge, and it's in this decade... so... yeah...

The best post Ive seen in this thread yet :)

I guess I'm going to have to look up the exact definition of what "grunge" is then because I would never have considered Foo Fighters, Breaking Benjamin or Nickelback grunge. Foo Fighters and BB seem to be straight up rock to me and Nickelback is some sort of pop/rock/sellout genre.Oh and I've never heard of Filter.

And as for some kind of post 90's grunge popularity I'm not too sure. Seems to me the only bands keeping grunge alive today are Pearl Jam, STP, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. I could be missing some though.

I called them all post-grunge (excluding AiC)

Well, that's 4... And If you wanna count Hole (even though Courtney Love sucks ass), there's 5. It's about the same number of Rap-Rock, Nu-Metal, Ska, and Thrash Metal Bands pushing their respective genres/sub-genres. Once a genre reaches its popularity peak, there are only so many bands willing to keep the same genre, despite the lack of popularity.
