[shopson67]

Mudhoney. They were every bit as important to the Grunge scene as any other band you can think of, with none of the main stream success as some of them.

None of the hooks either.

Old & In the Way - love this raw shit. Jerry on the Banjo, one of the best fiddlers in the world, Grisman's mandolin. Only about a year of music helps keep them in the underrated category.


New Riders of the Purple Sage -
Lost Buddy Cage recently and I dunno how they really were back in the day, but I saw them a few times a few years ago and that was some wild and fun rockin hippie music.
