Bands who were unjustly labeled in your opinion

[willc68]

Being on Sub Pop is what got Afghan Whigs lumped into the grunge category.

I get an urge to rip my hair out when the ignorant refer to the Beatles as a "boy band."

Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

Well they were all boys who were as popular for their looks as their music. And while they were certainly talented beyond looks so is Justin Timberlake who has become a success at numerous levels of music.

I realize this is a typo...... But I totally agree, Limp Bizkit isn't a band.

I'd call them hard grunge. And while they were somewhat known before Nirvana, they like Pearl Jam owe their national fame to Nirvana and the push that all Seattle area bands got because of them. That more than anything is why the grunge label sticks so much.

Y'know, it's a shame that so many good bands get lumped in with a marginal band like Nirvana.

I was listening to Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl jam before Nirvana. And they were all vastly superior to Nirvana.
