According to Page, the band saw who successful the grunge scene was, so they thought they'd try their hand at it. This is from the Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits liner notes:
"At the height of the grunge revolution, we were strumming on our old banjos and singing about macaroni. It felt like we were the ones being daring. From the difficult second album, Maybe You Should Drive, this marks the debut of rock guitar (apart from a brief allusion in “Grade 9” from Gordon) in our canon. There’s nothing left that won’t cross over, indeed."
