G-n-R vs. Nirvana

[Sistermadly]

So, MisterMadly and I were talking about music the other night, and the subject of Guns and Roses came up. I made the argument that G-n-R were really a grunge band, but because they came in on the tail end of the "hair band" era, they got lumped into that genre. When grunge became popular, G-n-R were unfairly piled on top of the trash heap that was hair bands.

Anyone out there agree with me? If you need evidence, listen to "It's So Easy" from Appetite for Destruction back to back with "Breed" from Nevermind.
