I'd agree with that, except the word "grunge" itself is a BS marketing term. "Alternative Rock" is even worse (a mainstream alternative to the mainstream?)
"Indie Rock" is more descriptive but kind of boring (Thurston Moore once used the phrase "Indie Guitar Swing".)
"Post-Hardcore" has a certain ring to it (like the American version of the UK "Post-Punk" thing of the late 70's.)

Sorry, I was just trying to guess what might have been your "raw rage radio rock of youth"! Meant no offense. ;-)

Dinosaur jr "You're Living All Over Me"
Sonic Youth "Sister"
Husker Du "Warehouse"
. . . there were tons of great records released beneath the mainstream radar that year!

1987 a rubbish year for music? Of course every year has tons of great records. Here's a few from 1987 (Oh, and I do believe Appetite was a great record also):
St Julian - Cope
Tallulah - Go-Betweens
Calenture - The Triffids
Young Gods - Young Gods
Human Jukebox - Scientists
A Glint Of Silver - Silly Wizard
Franks Wild Years - Tom Waits
Roman Beach Party - Celibate Rifles
Come On Pilgrim - Pixies
But 1987 was the rare year when none of these prolific and awesome artists released any albums: The Fall, Nick Cave, Ed Kuepper, Dave Graney.
Screw it, I'm going to bed.

I've heard 90percent of this album (via Limewire) IT is GOD AWE FULL Remember then fondly (if you must) But the new stuff is far worse then the old crap! You've been warned! Go get the new Ween album instead!
