Grunge debate

I like Alice In Chains sometimes.  It's a great fallback when I'm bored of whatever I've been listening to lately.

Screaming Trees made some awesome stuff, mainly because Mark Lanegan was (and might still be) the best male vocalist of his time.

Nirvana, Pearl Jam ... eh.  Not the biggest fan.

E. Spaceman:
When i was 14 i kind of liked No Code. I just listened to it again and i guess it's not bad but not really something i'd listen to. In Utero however is one rather good album.

To be fair though, I went to see Pearl Jam some years ago and it was one of the best times i've ever had since Sleater Kinney was opening, aside from that, Pearl Jam had the decency to not be too shit.

Narr:
I think Pearl Jam has gotten better with age.  I know a lot of people can't stand their new album released over the summer, which I think is a shame because I think it's some great stuff.

I think Soundgarden is my favorite grunge band, though.  Chris Cornell's just got (or at least had) such an awesome voice.  It's starting to cave out on him, though, which is really obvious if you listen to Soundgarden's recording of Loud Love and then Audioslave's rendition of it that was on the bonus CD to their Live in Cuba DVD.  That makes me a sad panda.

I never listened to Alice in Chains as a kid, but recently started listening to them, and find I like them quite a lot.

Never did care for Nirvana.  I think it's funny people who like "grunge" as in "more than just Nirvana" typically don't care for them as a band, and people who like Nirvana typically don't care much at all for any of the other popular grunge bands.

TrueNeutral:
Pearl Jam has some killer live shows. They always have. Although they lost a lot of energy over their years. You won't see Eddie Vedder jumping on amps or stagediving from camera-cranes as soon anymore, nor will you see Stone not playing bass for half a song because he's too busy skipping over the stage swinging it around like an axe.

Pearl Jam's new album is a pretty big hit, Alice In Chains is touring and might return with a new singer under a new name, Malfunkshun is back together, The Smashing Pumpkins too I think, Chris Cornell is releasing a new solo album, new Seattle bands that sound like old style grunge are popping up, like Black Market Radio... anyone else think we might be heading for a grunge comeback soon?

But I threw away all of my flannel shirts!
