even Trent Reznor grew up on Bowie. (not grunge but 90s, and recorded and toured with Bowie towards the end of 90s, which of course most NIN fans didn't exactly appreciate.  )
and then of course, Pumpkins and Hole covers of FM songs. |
btw really nice write-up from Trent on Bowie in RS commemorative issue:

about the Eagles, i think i read that in some article somewhere recently, how grunge / 90s rockers kinda brought back FM (well and there was Bill Clinton!) from the laughing stock they became at the end of the 80s (I'd rather jack and all that) but that renewed appreciation never happened in that way for the Eagles.
