While I'm not a HUGE fan of grunge, I still enjoy it and respect those bands in the genre, especially Nirvana. I sorta prefer the 80s thrash metal scene, back when metal was more than just down-tuned guitars and death growls. Bands like Metallica, Slayer, Venom, and Megadeth were just as revolutionary as the grunge bands, in my opinion.

An interesting fact: Grunge, and more specifically Nirvana, was responsible for the downfall of old-school metal. No hard feelings though.........the hair bands had to go.
