Music has been evolving ever since it started. Every style of music derived from another.
For someone to say that "Grunge killed rock" .. I laugh at them. Grunge, Rock n Roll, Heavy metal, R&B... They are all just labels put to a style. Labels dont kill genres, fans kill genres.
So you cant blame the genre of "grunge" for apparently killing "rock n roll".. Its the fans who stop listening to the earlier stuff because something better came along.
But in saying that. Rock is not dead my friend. And if you think it is, then you are dilusional.
Nirvana surpassed Pearl Jam in record sales as soon as Nevermind came out. So they were obviously doing something right! Its hard to say wether or not they'd still be rellevant today? Although i would probably lean towards your way of thinking Jess. Kurt hit the drugs hard because he couldnt handle the preasure. I seen them here in Aus in 92... They were brilliant live.
In saying that i have seen Pearl Jam 3 times. Vedder's vocals are brilliant...
