My 1st pick had to be Alice In Chains although Nirvana was very close.

This thread sums up in a nutshell exactly why grunge turned out so badly and why when a new movement comes along it gets watered down and weakened so much most people move on and want something else after such a short time.

I mean, who's leading the results here at the moment?

Is it the guy who could really write a memorable song and could pull out hooks & melodies out of his ass like it was no effort at all? ... No

Is it the band that really embodied the rawness and the energy of the movement? ... No

Is it the band that remained true to their roots and never changed thier sound for anybody? ... No

The band winning this poll are the dire bandwagon jumping stadium rock band who have no underground credentials whatsoever and wouldn't know a memorable tune if it jumped out and bit them on the arse.

And people wonder why post-grunge hung around and bored so many people for so long.

Look at this poll, why is there so much bad music in the world?
It's because you ask for it.

well, i believe that you believe that.

Nothing wrong with Alice in Chains. Now if Pearl Jam or STP were in the lead I would agree with your rant. However, they are not.

Pretty much all of AiC's hits were memorable (and let's face it when talking about mainstream that is what mattters. They do have better non-single tracks, but that is another story) and are still played today.

"Would?", "Rooster", "Heaven Beside You", "Nutshell", "We Die Young" and so on....

Personally I voted for Mudhoney.

Those songs you just listed are just forgettable plodding dirges as far as i'm concerned.

When speaking of taste, Pearl Jam usually come to mind.

Nothing to do with taste.

Any record that has achieved greatness & recognition has cross genre appeal. You have to own or at least hear it even if you don't listen to that type of music. Nothing Alice In Chains have done does this.

Alice In Chains albums have 2 types of listeners.
People who listen to other dull stadium rock bands.
People who used to listen to dull stadium rock bands and bring it out once in a while for nostalgia purposes.

The only people who have bought Alice In Chains albums are people who want to listen to Alice in Chains and who would probably do so at some point anyway. Not one single person has ever bought an Alice In Chains album because of their greatness and impact on the world of music.
