STINKROCK
Did I ever explain where Stinkrock came from? Let's start a new Top 10!
Top 10 songs that readily define the genre Stinkrock*.
*(Music doesn't have genres. Music marketing has genres. A quick lesson in determining if a band is worth its salt: do they know where they fit? If they do, they're worth nothing. If they do what they do and let the listeners and critics catch up, then they're worthy. They're worthy of salt.
The following ten songs are venerable salt licks. I'll break them up so I can eventually forget about this list like all the other lists I've started.
#10.
NEGATIVE CREEP - NIRVANA.
The link is to a fan video, but it's perfect. When Frances Bean Cobain marries Jack Nicholson in 2015, "daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more" will speak volumes. It will also reference Mudhoney's 'Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More.' Which brings us to
#9
HATE THE POLICE - MUDHONEY.
This wasn't my first choice by this band, but I like it because it shows this band at their best, before 'Singles', pearl jam, 'Evenflow' and starbucks ruined the pacific Northwest. This is more sleazerock than stinkrock, but it gets grandfathered because Mark Arm sings so.
#2.
LIGHTSABRE COCKSUCKING BLUES. - MCLUSKY.
Too often, the internet is all about finding the new shit. I play mop-up. If you haven't seen cats sing the ballsiest rock song of the last 7 years, this clip is for you.
9-3 and #1 coming up.
