Favourite early 90s Seattle band...

[Stondis]

What is your favourite early 90s Seattle "grunge" band or band that was lumped in with "grunge" at that time?

Mine = Mudhoney
2nd place = Screaming Trees.

Anyone else?

 

[Wolff]

Soundgarden

 

[Static]

Nirvana and Soundgarden, either or....

 

[enigma_nocurnus]

Alice In Chains, without question

 

[7 Dying Trees]

Alice in Chains , no competition at all

agreed


... tho I was planning on being a smartass and saying Queensrÿche or Nevermore, but then I unfortunately realized you specified "grunge"

 

[Chromatose]

although thinking about it, Nevermore is probably more of a mid-90's seattle band, but I'll still keep queensrÿche there cause they had some incredible early 90's albums

 

[in2thenight]

definitely Alice in Chains.......followed by Nirvana

 

[Fyhed]

SOUNDGARDEN!!!

the greatest most talented of the bunch in my opinion...

 

[loudsilence]

Alice in Chains although I would call them a hard rock band.

 

[Pancakes]

Nirvana...even if they are, technically, from Aberdeen. Aberdeen sucks, anyways, I wouldn't admit I'd formed a band there, either.

Gotta be the Melvins, the godfathers of the whole grunge thing...

 

[IanDork107]

Soundgarden, Melvins, Alice In Chains

the Melvins

It's so odd: during the early 90s "grunge explosion", I was really (still) only into metal & didn't pay much attention to Seattle. I did, however, really dig Alice in Chains.

As the years passed & the scene died, I actually "discovered" Seattle/grunge, around the year 2000.

And I must say, there was a lot of great music there. But, IMO, PEARL JAM, specifically, is the best, bar none. And, the odd thing, is that I actually prefer their '95+ music over the '91-94 era.

In my view, the songs "Present Tense" & "Red Mosquito" are among the best rock songs ever composed! Awesome band!
I cant wait for "Riot Act" (11/12 - same day as Opeth!).

Alice in Chains & SOundgarden are (were) fantastic as well!!

 

[Parasite]

Pearl Jam!!

Too bad "Riot Act" is below their standards.
