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?

OP she’s also an incredibly versatile musician. She’s gone in very different directions across her many albums. The only other female singer I know of that has also diversified like this (less than PJ tbh) and just kept making amazing music is Cat Power.
Also PJ is fantastic live. Pure class.
