The Meat Puppets have been commercially creating albums since the early 1980's. Their band name refers to these bodies as puppets of meat, as opposed to identifying with human form. I believe this band really influenced many of the bands form the 1990's with their lyrical style and slick guitar riffs. Although many of today's youth may not be familiar with this band, they are familiar with many of the bands that popped up as a result of their influence on modern rock. This band was one of Kurt Cobain's big influences, Nirvana even covered on of their classic songs, Lake of Fire.
