i know you have this thing against metal-influenced stuff (not liking the melvins) but i think soundgarden and alice in chains were far better than mudhoney; with soundgarden, at least they covered a lot of ground and weren't afraid to try new things and for the most part, made their stuff work, they bridged punk, metal and zeppelin/sabbath into something of their own. and alice in chains made music with amazing, evocative mood.
hell, even nirvana were better, sure they started trying to play as much as the melvins and mudhoney but they didn't stop there, for one, they weren't afraid to try and do a straight pop album and they followed it up with an album that pushed somewhere else, maintaining the vocal melodies they had developed in nevermind with the harder edged sound of bleach with things they hadn't really explored (the dissonant aggression of jesus lizard, shellac and amphetamine reptile records in general)
they weren't just trying to rewrite funhouse for a bunch of people who probably thought the hardest, wildest thing iggy had done was lust for life.
