Trying to get an opinion from an A&R guy is like trying to get blood out of a stone! It doesn't breed creativity. As a matter of fact, it would really sicken me if something like the Seattle sound happened, and all of a sudden there's hundreds of bands who wear grungy clothing, have greasy, long hair and sound like their in Black Sabbath. The whole music industry is geared to following the next big thing. It's sad, but that's the business.
