AiC is a band where i liked their singles but never really dove into their catalogue back in the day. the last couple of years i've gotten more into them and they're now my 2nd favorite grunge band after Nirvana. Jar of Flies is amazing as is Unplugged.

The only big 4 grunge band Im really much into is Nirvana, but I can definitely get down with a few songs from Pearl Jams first 2 albums, and then most of Vitalogy is really cool.

alice in chains arent bad and have a few songs I can enjoy but theyre kinda tedious to me, too much doom and gloom, without much else to really stand out from that, and I feel like the wave of awful post grunge bands modeled their sound off of them more than any of the other grunge bands, especially with the metallic edge

2 great bands. But for me as time has gone on, I love Alice in Chains the same or more, whereas Pearl Jam has declined a bit in my book. But make no mistake, they're amazing live. I just don't think the post 2000 material resonates as much as the stuff from 1991 to 1998 (Ten to Yield).

Both (as well as Nirvana) gave birth to a lot of horses*** though, which is too bad. Soundgarden seems less replicated IMO. And then some of that crap gets attributed to the Seattle bands unfairly. But you toss on the Dirt album or Facelift to this day, there are some riffs and grooves that have not been matched ever. Each of the Seattle bands was crushing it back in the day.

Pearl Jam is alright, I love Alice though because they have more of a hard rock/metal backbone that comes through

pearl jam is really high on the list of "most overrated groups of all time". AiC is good overall, with probably the best vocals in the genre.

Soundgarden is my favorite of the big 4, but PJ and AiC aren't far behind. Never got into Nirvana much, but they're fine.

STP is easily the most buttrocky band if you lump them in with the Seattle big 4. Like not even close.

I've historically liked PJ more, but their last few albums haven't been that amazing to me.

I mean I think most Radiohead from the last 15 years is pretty boring too, but in general I think theyre a lot more sonically interesting and colorful than AiC. Just my opinion though!

Oh no, not at all. I've been on a huge Radiohead kick lately.
I bought a box set of their early stuff and I am going through it chronologically, without spoiling it....so far Pablo and The Bends have lasted me like a month.

Ya, I don't know their more modern stuff.
But they are really full of doom and gloom, in away. But it is exceptionally well balanced with moments of repose and a certain sense of Catharsis.

being into nirvana and being internet savvy in the late 90s and early 2000s was amazing actually.

there was a bootleg community, and songs nobody could find. ykyr was one of them, vendettagainst was one of them.

You think nirvana is popular so its cool to hate it, but people who are trying to be cool are lame
