Alice in Chains is a bit of an odd band in grunge. Some metal fans will avoid them because they're grunge and people might avoid them in general because they're more metallic than most grunge bands. People might also avoid them because of Staley's accent, but I don't actually mind it. In fact, I think he was one of the best vocalists of the 90s and a major part of the band.

STP is from San Diego...
I voted for Nirvana, they got the ball rolling, mainstream wise, with "smells like teen spirit," suddenly hair bands were out, and flannels were in... but in the realm of things, you could throw a dart at all those bands, it is splitting hairs, as they all rock... |

Grunge can be summed up in three records:
Mudhoney - Superfuzz Bigmuff The late 80s. While the UK was going Madchester crazy, some west coast yanks produced a 6 track EP that took The Stooges, Hüsker Dü, The Pixies & Dinosaur Jr and rolled them up into one big ball of ear splitting noise. Stand out track - 'In 'n' out of Grace' - contained a pre-Primal Scream 'Loaded' sample from Wild Angels. It might not be the first grunge record but it's an era defining sound. Nirvana - Sliver Summer 1991. Between the two album releases of Bleach and Nevermind, Nirvana hit the pinnacle of their career with 3 minutes of pure pop - wrapped up in squealing distorted guitars. From this point on it would all be downhill... Pearl Jam - Alive The kerching of a cash register and the sound of a genre dying on it's feet. Overblown, warbly crap. Unfortunately, grunge would shuffle on for many years before being put out of it's misery. |

Pathetic poll, It seems on any grunge poll these days, these five bands are the only ones recognised...
Then follows the pitiful arguing about all the other bands trying to rip of Nirvana... |
