Poll Do You Listen To Grunge Or Alternative Rock And Why?

[aka]

I answered yes seeing as my favorite bands are Linkin Park, Flogging Molly, & Rise Against. I also pick and choose thru Breaking Benjamin, Muse, Revenge Seventhfold, Gamma Ray, and others.

I saw Avenged Sevenfold once. They were supporting Iron Maiden at Twickenham.

I'm open to all sorts of music, really, though I have a preference for music with an enjoyable melody and/or lyrics that tell an interesting story.

As far as rock goes I don't really go for Alternative, prefering Classic Rock and Old-School Heavy Metal like Sabbath, Maiden and Dio, all of whom I've seen live, having discharged myself from hospital to see Dio. Just as well, too, as that was his last gig in this country.

I will admit to having absolutely no idea what 'Grunge' is, beyond being something that happened in the US in the '90s while we were stuck with stuff like Oasis and Blur.

or lyrics that tell an interesting story.

I took my husband to New Orleans for his birthday one year. There was a man(name slips me) that was suppose to be an awesome trombone player and played for many bands(my husband is a trombone player). I took him to see him. Well the guy decided to sing. It wasn't that his voice was that bad but the lyrics were horrible! Almost all of them were stories, but they were horrible stories. One of them was something like "I met my girlfriend in a graveyard". I'm a lyric person and you can bet after a few of these, I was can we leave mode.
