Great entry, especially the opening: " ... image triumphed over talent ..."
OK, I am hopelessly mired in classic rock, but the 90's did inspire some great parodies. On his 1994 debut album "Songs for the Daily Planet", Todd Snider had a great unlisted track "Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues"

wowee
pretty scary
how pensive
how totally alternative
