    If you have to compare your city to Portland to validate it, you've already lost the war.

    Portland is constantly comparing itself to Seattle...with sandy results

    See Sven for more details
    Pretty sure it was the other way around in this thread, and you brought up the comparison.
    True, but great sample size of one. I was speaking more generally.

    I actually like Portland, Eugene, and the state of Oregon, but I know lots of poasters on here were born in that region so I tried to ruffle some feathers

    All other 90's grunge bands were just trying to be Nirvana. Nirvana was copying the Pixies.

    Jimi Hendrix is in his own category.

    Modest Mouse > Soundgarden

    Of all the stupid shit splattered over this site, nay the Internet, this is stupidest, most splattered shit. I don't even have a problem with Modest Mouse really. Of all bands with the vocal stylings of an epileptic during a sneezing fit, they're up near the top. But MM is making bad coffee in the Lebanese-owned lobby Starbucks whilst Soundgarden is doing hookers-n-blow in the penthouse of One Rockatomi Plaza. To say anything else is AZDuckFS.

    You got the Pixies and Hendrix part right. Nirvana was also copying The Melvins, who way pre-date Nirvana. AiC, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone (more glam than grunge but still), Gruntruck, Green River, Mudhoney, and on and on either came before or essentially at the same time.

    Nirvana was as much a Portland product as a Seattle one.
