I think Nevermind is a great album, but its not really grunge.In fact, Most of the mainstream stuff that came out after nevermind that got classified as grunge(I'm talking other bands too, not just nirvana) is really just alternative rock.

you make a good point...... Genres sometimes get taken over by mainstream radio, example: Every genre except pop....anyways who decides what is one genre or not......

Even before i clicked on the band i was gonna vote for,i knew it was gonna be Nirvana!!! hell i voted for 'Dirt' thats one album Alice In Chains is gonna be remembered for...and although while the constant references to heroin get a bit old ("Sickman," "Junkhead," "God Smack") the album works well as a whole with the possible exception of "Rooster" which doesn't quite jibe with the rest of the songs...but is probably one of there most influential songs!

as for silverchair!!!! thats not grunge,thats rubbish kiddy rock!

i don't really listen to much grunge, seeing as i'm a huge hair-metal fan, but i like pearl jam, and stone temple pilots for those of you who consider them grunge. but i actually only like one song from nirvana.

Mudhoney and Nirvana, I suppose. But then again, what the hell is grunge, anyway?

Soundgarden's pretty good too, but I think they have a lot of filler.
