Since you have The Smiths ranked #1, you may wanna take that back, since they could definitely be considered post-punk.
The Cure, Sonic Youth, Wire, Gang Of Four, Magazine, Crime & The City Solution, The Birthday Party, Echo & The Bunymen...etc all great post-punk bands.

genres and subgenres are silly indefinable things that cannot pin down a group. They're just tools created by music critics to group bands together.
just like how we lump hundreds of years of music into "classical" despite a ridiculous range of ideas and sounds

EDIT: Also, RYM has grunge listed as one of their genres (not their main one obviously) http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/dinosaur_jr_
And no, it's not prominent, but it isn't too far off. |
I wouldn't trust RYM on that. Their best grunge albums chart determined by the usersw includes LZ4, Ramones albums, Fleetwood Mac, Pixies, and Pink Floyd. Pink freaking Floyd!

The one you posted earlier wasn't even their grunge chart Jman. If you click on charts, then you can pick any genre you like to look for the "best of" if you go to the bar next to "only include genres" (they have other options at that point too). The "chart" you looked at was the best rated by those users, not a grunge chart.

I got done with Apple by Mother Love Bone, even though I couldn't find a track on YT. Now I'm listening to a good grunge band which I don't think anyone here's mentioned yet: Skin Yard. Heavier than the average grunge. The album is 1000 Smiling Knuckles. I'll let you know what I think.

You know earlier on when you were all talking about Dinosaur Jr being an influence to Grunge?
I've just remembered about Flipper - Generic Flipper it sounds grungy as hell.
