2 out of 5 stars Misleading Title.......2006-07-19

These songs/artists are no more the godfathers of grunge than I am the King of England. A feeble attempt at jumping on the grunge bandwagon and claiming to have someting to do with it's origins. Great songs nonetheless, but a stupid title for a classic rock album.

3 out of 5 stars Um.....not quite........2005-09-12

Ok, I admit some of these bands may have a slight connection to a few grunge bands of the 90's, but calling them the Godfathers of grunge is a stretch. Also, if this really was the Godfathers of grunge, where's Led Zeppelin, The Stooges, Black Sabbath, and Neil Young? I mean c'mon. Now looking at this as a pioneers of metal, or just classic rock collection makes more sense. Who doesn't enjoy "Slow Ride" and "Stranglehold"? Personally I really like "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and "Godzilla", but these songs aren't really the seeds of "Angry Chair" and "Outshined"....or are they?
