I usually like the music here, but this list isn't your best, far from it. Sorry, but I’m not finding much here to like. I usually like the music here, but this list isn’t your best, far from it.

But I now I'm inspired to rustle through my old CD's and bust out the Mudhoney, make a grunge/alternative playlist. . But the requirement would be that it's comprised entirely of stuff before alt/grunge went big. Squash I totally see and agree with your point.

Heavy metal and all its close cousins from MdM point of view are genres that represent style to get away from because it dominates so much of 80's rock. (somewhere between Led Zep - Metallica) Influence of major labels probably plays the biggest role in diminishing outlet varieties. In general, the attitude is to ignore them all when possible aside from a historical footnote. Who needs big labels. A dab of arrogant revisionism of style if you will. It makes an amusing thought experiment. It doesn't mean led zep-metallica et.all contribution will be ignored, just that they won't receive emphasis. In relation to which sound form the base of MdM beefier rock sound done by more recognized bands, probably closer to late 90's scene and on (MBV, bunch of TGRec bands, few experimental doom, etc) ....hmmm, probably should do better inventory what MdM has done with hardcore beside punk... anyway Album sales figure for comparison...
