Up until the mid to late 1980's most of the world didn't care about the Seattle music scene. Bands like The Ventures, Metal Church, Queensryche, The U-Men, The Mentors and The Sonics all made some noise. Until Green River, Malfunkshun and Soundgarden formed, people elsewhere weren't really noticing the music in Seattle. These bands opened a door that so many others rocked through until Nirvana blew the door wide open. The Seattle vibe/energy is discussed throughout the episode as we talk about The Seattle Syndrome. If you would like more information about the wonderful Seattle music history, read the book, "LOSER" by Clark Humphrey. Mark Yarm's, "Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge" is another great read about Seattle's Rock and Roll History. So many great bands and so much excellent music to discuss.
