The record marked the earliest beginnings of grunge. In time these bands are signed and successful.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The six bands are: Green River, Malfunkshun, The Melvins, Skin Yard, Soundgarden and U-Men. The most noteworthy descendant band not mentioned above is Mudhoney. Singer Mark Arm was first in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Green_River_%28band%29\">Green River<\/a>. Many would consider this the first significant record from the burgeoning 1980s Seattle scene. Some would call it &#8220;grunge&#8221;, but I&#8217;ve read that many of the bands didn&#8217;t like being lumped into a single category.<\/p>\n<p>Wikipedia has <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deep_Six_(album)\">a good article<\/a> about <em>Deep Six<\/em> where you see the song list and the band rosters. Scan the list and you&#8217;ll see a lot familiar names sometimes under less familiar bands. These guys moved around a lot.<\/p>\n<p>I was very excited about this music because it was essentially guitar-based rock that wasn&#8217;t, for the most part, stupid mainstream stuff from guys with teased up hair and makeup. I suppose it was punk in its own way, but with better riffs.<\/p>\n<p>There were only 2000 copies of <em>Deep Six<\/em> made. It&#8217;s supposedly collectible, and tonight I saw a copy on eBay for $75.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Various Artists Title: Deep Six (Green River, Malfunkshun, The Melvins, Skin Yard, Soundgarden, U-Men) Year: 1985 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
