80s. Neil Young is generally considered to be the father of grunge. Which song, specifically, are you thinking of? During this transition was a period of music called Alternative. Your song may be considered that, and not grunge.

The weekly guitar thread will open soon, and someone there may have opinions. You're welcome to stop by, even if you don't play.

What weekly guitar thread are you talking about? When is Neil Young's music from?

Thinking about the Nirvana Album Bleach and how it was released in 1989.

Soundgarden also has the Ultramega OK album and it was released in 1988.

LOL In another lifetime, I was a professional musician - it was my second job and I was never very famous, though I've played with some pretty famous people. So, I host a weekly guitar thread in v/guitar. I just unstickied it - but I'll be opening a new one in about 30 minutes. I'm just setting up for it now.

Both of those albums would be considered grunge. Neil Young is from the 60s, but still plays today. He helped bands like Pearl Jam get their start and was very much a figure in the grunge movement. The album Mirror Ball has him and Pearl Jam on there together, for example.

Hmm... Allow me to introduce you to him:
