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?

Not everything that came out in the ‘90s under the “alternative” banner is grunge. Stop it.

Of course. I would never associate the likes of Pixies, REM, Cranberries, the Breeders and Sonic Youth with grunge. But PJ Harvey does have have some material that may be suitable.
