I enjoy some of that sound. (And it is actually fairly varied). And miss some of those times. I am a Tacoma native, and was a Tacoman back then. So, yes, in a way, I miss the sound, or more properly, I miss a time when a more organic rock sound was more popular.
Here is a thread where some of my thoughts on the era were collected. http://www.thefret.net/showthread.ph...etter-or-worse
Besides the more known bands, I have also enjoyed Mudhoney, Green River, and the like as well.
