Dude, you quite obviously haven't listened to Smash Mouth's first album, Fush Yu Mang, which was released towards the end of the grunge movement. Not pop at all.

Garth Brooks, being more knowledgable on his music than most people on the board, has shown true knowledge of rock and country music and has blended them together to create his own unique style, which is why he is the best-selling solo artist in recording history. Statistic alone: according to the RIAA, who gives out gold/platinum certifications, Garth Brooks had 99 gold/platinum albums/singles, and Led Zeppelin has had 81. Zep had 13 Diamond albums/singles (sell over 10 million copies), Brooks has 14. That has to mean something. He is truly a bona-fide artist.
