The early 1980s was a time of intense musical exploration. There was so much music to discover, and the fun part was that it was all current.

Congratulations to The Melvins! After 26 Years They've Finally Cracked the Billboard 200 Chart
I don't know that The Melvins' influence on pop music can be overstated.
