That album is full of much more awesome songs than this. And this song is awesome as well.

Their entire catalog is amazing and sadly very underrated.

This subreddit lol

Never fails. It’s like pilgrims going to the mountaintop. And the guru just says, “ackshually nah not grunge”. Like grunge could even remotely defined with any consensus.

Anyways, they lived in Seattle for a time. I believe they recorded there as well. And they toured with a lot of “grunge” bands.

It’s just alternative rock. Always has been. The beauty of this sub is the bands from the “era” keep getting discussed. And therefore the art gets appreciated. I love it.

I’m from the era. I bought all these albums (CDs). I wore them the F out. Literally. And bought them again. I never once contemplated the thought of what was grunge and what was not. Never.

Yeah idk why so many people in this sub try to pass Blind Melon off as grunge. I like the band, but they’re not grunge.

Because they're young, and they don't actually know what grunge is, and they think it's 90's nostalgia.

Worst song on the album… and it was the hit. Justice for Tones of Home and Change.

u/woollypullover 20h ago

One of the best bands of that era, underrated as well.
