This week we’re discussing every album by Mother Love Bone. Credited (along with Green River—check out our episode on them) with pioneering grunge, Mother Love Bone’s promising career was cut short after the sudden death of frontman Andrew Wood. As a result, members Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard went on to form Temple of the Dog (as a tribute to Wood) and eventually Pearl Jam. While Mother Love Bone’s music sounds more alternative metal than grunge, they were still paramount to the scene in Seattle. Good stuff.
Closing track: “Gentle Groove” from Apple (1990)
