Default what's so great about Alice In Chains?

every song bugs the shit out of me. I don't see the fascination in AIC. Why do people think they're so great?

Last time i checked, the media gives them little credit, if they got the credit they deserved, people would stop yapping about them on the music forums.

I think they're good. To me, the only way to describe them is Nirvana's big brother. Rooster and Would are fantastic examples of a grungy Kurt Cobain style while Man in the Box and Them Bones are songs I'd liken to Teen Spirit.
Their instrumentation is fantastic and although not that technically brilliant, I'd say they head down keith moons descriptive path of being fantastic at putting emotion into the music. Sure some it sounds bland at times, I don't particularly like Heaven Beside You but every band has it's average songs. The hits are numerous so it's no wonder so many people like them. Seattle owned the grunge scene and it's no suprise to see AIC come out of Seattle and make it big. Jerry Cantrell and Layne Stanley imo are fantastic song writers as well, I probably like them more than Nirvana to be honest. Though I'd have to say I like Soundgarden more than eather of the two.

Perhaps its because of their taste in music?, we all have different tastes. Some people like Bon Jovi, that dosent mean i should start a thread and complain about it.

Good harmonies, second only to Simon and garfunkle. Solid guitar work, well constructed songs, decent nough lyrics, personal and deep, but good. Good scream too. Amazing acoustic.
