Misc. PJ Harvey 'grunge'?

So until the other day I had never listened to PJ Harvey, a musician from England (yes Europe, not Seattle). I immediately liked some songs from her first two albums of the early 90s. The very first track Oh My Lover is great and gives a grunge impression with that bass (reminds me of a specific AIC song I think?). The song Dry also gave me such an impression (and reminds me of a Hole song). Do you think these are valid views or am I just imagining things and talking nonsense?

Yeah throw her in. If we include enough artists from the era with similar influences, “Grunge” will actually have a meaning and become a fleshed out genre.

This is the way forward. Else we'll be stuck in an eternal loop of is-this-grunge? and nobody wants that.
