Mudhoney's early releases on the Sub Pop label, particularly their debut single "Touch Me I'm Sick" and the Superfuzz Bigmuff EP, were instrumental in the creation of the grunge genre.[6] Although the band found little commercial success and remained somewhat 'underground' and non-mainstream, Mudhoney has released eleven studio albums and inspired countless grunge and alternative rock musicians during their long career.[2]

Mudhoney's influences include Dinosaur Jr., Spacemen 3, Neil Young,[7] the Stooges, Black Sabbath, the Stranglers,[8] Black Flag,[9] and the Scientists.[10]
