Lifeless in Seattle.

[NAD]

10 years ago Kurt Cobain blew his brains out and 2 years ago Layne Staley was no more. I say that's a bunch of crap, considering that Alice in Chains and Nirvana are still two of my favorite bands.

Now go buy Jerry Cantrell - Degradation Trip volumes 1 & 2.

 

[HarmonyDies....]

Maybe later.

I always think it's funny when Guitar World magazine hails Kurt Cobain as one of the greatest guitarists ever. He always ends up somewhere between Eddie Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix.

The best grunge album of all time is probably Dirt.

 

[NAD]

The best album of all time is probably Dirt.

One could make a case for that, definitely. :Spin:

 

[J.]

Alice in Chains' "Jar of Flies" and "Sap" along with some Soundgarden albums are the only worthwhile thing to come out of the "grunge" scene.

I'll save you all the trouble: "Thank you for that information." "Good point."

 

[JayKeeley]

Interesting.

Mudhoney put out B-sides that destroyed AiC, just an FYI for all you n00bs.

 

[Black Winter Day]

hahaha, mudhoney? the best thing they ever did was an appearance in Black Sheep...

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I'll say it again.

Mudhoney was THE Seattle band that all others wished they could be.

 

[Black Winter Day]

yeah i know... who WOULDN'T want to be in Black Sheep?!?

 

[NAD]

I just ate peanut butter and honey.

I'm also going to pick up some Mudhoney next haul, because I've always loved Mark Arm's voice. However, the only thing that destroys Alice in Chains is heroin.

 

[JayKeeley]

I always thought Dinosaur Jnr were a bit underrated. Not the best by far, but not bad either way. A bit more punky, where Soundgarden were a bit more metal. Dinosaur Jnr is good driving music.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I never got into Albini's stuff. And I had a heavy alterna-period during college. I really loved Soundgarden for a long time though. Big Dumb Love, or whatever that album is called, is very cool.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Louder Than Love

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah, Kim Thayil looked and sounded like a byproduct of Black Sabbath. That Sikh could play!

 

[NAD]

Soundgarden was always hit or miss for me. When they were good they were BRILLIANT, but rarely have I sat down and listened to an entire CD of theirs without getting tired of it toward the end.

I would apply that to all grunge albums to be honest.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Except 'Nevermind' - that album really is perfect.

 

[NAD]

Incesticide > Nevermind

Nevermind is the album that got me back into rock n' roll after listening to (c)rap for a few years.

NAD <------- you are out of Q-Tips again, arent' you?
