[Nimitz]

Who is your Favorite?

[Hellbat]

Toss up between Screaming Trees & Mother Love Bone for me. All the little side project stuff was pretty good too like Temple of the Dog.

[Nimitz]

Yeah man Temple of the Dog rules.

Doing this poll because the cover of this Guitar World pissed me off.





Can't cross off Alice in Chains if they're not on the list.

[VitaminG]

out of the 3 bands on that cover, Soundgarden are far and away the best. Alice in Chains aren't grunge.

Alice in Chains aren't grunge.

Just had this conversation last night with my friend (we we're watching AIC unplugged) about how you really can't put AIC in a genre... they're just too dam good.

Well, they were til Lane passed on.

The only band in that list that was actually really "grunge" or that mostly defined it was Soundgarden, everything else that came after them (and were influenced by them to a degree) from Seattle got the "grunge" moniker. Doesn't really matter, however Soundgarden started it and defined it before anyone else, i think the common consensus from most people around in the scene during the early days is most would identify grunge as early Soundgarden.

Alice in Chains was a part of the seattle movement(grunge). I don't know how anyone can say different.

Agree 100%...

It's hard to define "grunge" because there were only a handful of important grunge bands, they were musically all over the map, and that whole scene imploded pretty quickly. That being said, yeah AiC was grunge. Grunge...with guitar solos!!

Pearl Jam had guitar solos, but of the above, hands down Alice in Chains.

[roodyrocker]

Sorry, was never impressed with any of them. That whole Grunge thing was a waste of musical time

[The Rossness]

Pearl Jam

Well, they were til Lane passed on.

I think the newest cd is fantastic. Looking forward to the next one.

[Richard W]

Alice in Chains FTW! Layne Staley(RIP)= greatest voice of all time.

[CowboyFromHell]

The new version of AIC isn't bad, don't get me wrong. I just think the name should have retired when Lane passed. I know, I know. Alot of people will disagree on the concept of band names staying or changing when a member leaves, but when it's one that's key to the very soul of the band, I think it should change. Many will argue it and say that the rest of the band shouldn't have to "start over" because someone leaves or passes away but I guess I've got this "respect for what it was" and when it's not that any longer, let it go. Much like Axl and the GnR name for one example. I know that's an extreme example since everyone left but him. I also know there's the ACDC side of the coin where a band does just as well after a major change.

[Grim]

Soundgarden for me. and Pearl Jam.

I totally agree with this. Duvall is a pretty damn good performer. Loosing Lane was terrible and you felt it when watching listening to the band speak during the Black Gives way to Blue interview. You really experience that they lost a member of their family and not just a singer.

Saw AIC open for Van Halen in '90 @ Blosson music center. I was front row center. Nobody heard of them before..maybe "MITB...maybe. Nobody gave a shit. The pavillion was empyty. People buying beer, takin' a dump in urinals before VH came on. But I can hold my pee, because I don't fuggin' drink. So I watched and cheered the whole show. The band lterally thanked me, and played their asses off for...me!

With that said. I have a great singer freind. Prolly the best there is in my area...Ty Cook. He turned me onto Soundgarden, and gave me a new found respect for Chris Cornell simply by singing exactly like him. Ripper Owens had a cover band called Seattle. He stopped singing "Rusty Cage" after hearing Ty. You can't follow Ty on his turf. I love Layne (who doesn't) But Cornell is the true jem of this bunch...as singers go IMO!

With that said. I'm a metal dude ..so the Seattle sound is Queenryche and Nevermore.

So, I didn't vote because I really like AIC and SG. Even though I didn't embrace SG until 10 years ago (singer). I never liked PJ and Nirvana.
