So: Sundays, Charlatans, Lush, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, Verve, Trash Can Sinatras. This is the movement that should have lasted IMO.

I love Lush! I don't think the critics of the time really recognized how good they were. (Maybe there will be a revival someday.)
Well, when I saw Lush play at the Lollapalooza, GRUNGE was the thing. I was surprised Lush ROCKED OUT big time. This may have been the same Lollapalooza where Soundgarden played too (most of it is a blur to me now...) And, you know what? Soundgarden SUCKED (live). It was sort of wanna-be macho rock posturing, with no charisma whatsoever. I still think their recorded work was pretty good, but I wouldn't have paid to see them live again.
(Now, Henry Rollins- there was some macho rock posturing I could get into. Oddly, I loved him live, but could never get into his CDs.)
