I voted for AiC but I have listened quite abit to Nirvana and Pearl Jam too (the debut).

AiC rocks. Dirt is my favourite.

Good man.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Good man.

Saw them at the "Hollywood Rock" festival in São Paulo, a long time ago...they were amazing, best show back then period.

 

[Ender Rises]

Fuck you.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Fuck you.

I'm getting old, my friend.

We haven't had a nice huge Rock / Metal festival in São Paulo in like 10 years or more. Used to have them every fucking year, lots of great stuff. I really miss the Phillips Monsters of Rock festival (last one was in 98, they brought Slayer as headliners, Megadeth, Manowar, Dream Theater, Glen Hughes, Savatage and a couple brazilian bands - Dorsal Atlantica and Korzus)

 

[Ender Rises]

That sucks. There aren't enough good festivals.

 

[Belligerent]

Got that right!!!

I picked AiC, but Badmotorfinger kicks major ass!

Hands down Soundgarden's best.

Hands down Soundgarden's best.

Closely followed by Superunknown though. "Head Down" is one of my favorite Soundgarden songs.

 

[Belligerent]

I'm not underestimating Superunknown. I must say that Badmotorfinger and Dirt are the essential grunge albums to own.

For sure, but I'd probably throw Nevermind in there as well. As overplayed and overhyped as it was, it's still a great album.

More people need to check out In Utero though.

 

[Belligerent]

Because of songs like "On A Plain" "Stay Away" and "Drain You" that weren't heavily played on the radio.

I liked Bleach the most of all of Nirvana's albums when I used to listen to that stuff.

 

[Einherjar86]

Nirvana sucks balls.

Bush shouldn't even be on the list.

It's between Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains for me. Soundgarden is fucking awesome too... gods, I can't decide between the three.

STP kicks ass also, but I never really thought of them as "grunge."

 

[Belligerent]

Bush shouldn't even be on the list.

THANK YOU

 

[Satanstoenail]

The only list Bush should be on is the "Shittest shitty bland late nineties post-grunge snoozefest bands" list tbh.

That was actually kinda heavy from what I remember.

See, this is why Pearl Jam doesn't have a higher score. Since half the songs on Ten were hits, and by definition overplayed, it's suddenly not good anymore to most people. Even Flow, Jeremy, and Black are pretty amazing songs that people don't actually appreciate due to how popular they were.

Another thing that's overlooked is how great the vocals were in most of these bands. I don't think you find that in modern bands so much. Guys like Stayley, Vedder and Weiland were iconic in a way that no rock singers have touched since.

 

[TheInsane]

I actually look forward to the new AiC album. Im willing to give the new vocalist a fair chance. I think they will do some great stuff again.

 

[Vossyrus]

I wasn't aware that Bush was associated with the whole "grunge" thing. Anyhow when I first got into music I liked them, and I can still enjoy their first couple albums. Wow though, that was a long time ago...
