PearlDrummer20: The 'Big 5' Grunge Bands Ranked

PearlDrummer20 05.23.10	I know there were like 20 grunge bands (Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone, Screaming Trees) but these were the most mainstream ones.
Counterfeit 05.23.10	I could flipflop 3 and 4 all day. But otherwise, fully agree.
PearlDrummer20 05.23.10	I know, right! Took me awhile to decide...
KILL 05.23.10	14325
coneren 05.23.10	13245
Titan50 05.24.10	4 1 3 2
Nagrarok 05.24.10	Except there were never 5 Big Grunge bands. STP was never one of them. Nevertheless, my ranking would be: 3 1 4 2 5
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	Yeah STP was not from Seattle, one of the reasons they were hated by critics, but they are noteworthy. Creep is such an excellent song.
Yazz_Flute 05.24.10	3 is easily my favorite 3 5 1 2 4
Romulus 05.24.10	Swap 2 and 3 and you get mine
ShadowRemains 05.24.10	1 3 2 4 5
Yazz_Flute 05.24.10	looks like i'm the only one who likes STP here... i'd take Purple over Dirt anyday.
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	STP = great Everyone else on this list = better
ShadowRemains 05.24.10	i'm very close to bumping Dirt to a 5
coneren 05.24.10	I'm changing mine 1 3 2 5 4
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	also, Core was better then Purple.
combustion07 05.24.10	1 2 5 4 3
AliW1993 05.24.10	1. Nirvana (In Utero) 2. Soundgarden (Superunknown) 3. Alice In Chains (Dirt) 4. Pearl Jam (Ten) 5. Stone Temple Pilots (Core) 2-4 are fairly interchangeable imo
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	I always thought Nirvana was overrated. Not bad by any means, but not as good as people say.
Prolapse 05.24.10	switch 2 and 3 and it's perfect
AnotherBrick 05.24.10	5 is easily my favorite
robertsona 05.24.10	what is with the nirvana backlash? amazing band.
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	Nirvana's great, it's just that most of the other grunge acts were more creative.
theacademy 05.24.10	LOL SHOCKER! cliche ranking is cliche. spend a little moar time on sputnik and you'll get it right eventually.
AliW1993 05.24.10	Im a bit of a Nirvana fanboy tbh, but I do think that they were the most consistently brilliant of the five. They may not have been as skilled musicians as the rest but imo Cobain was easily the best songwriter in any of these bands.
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	This is my opinion, not Sputnik's opinion.
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	Nah Krist and Dave were great musicians, and Nirvana was a great band, but I just prefer the others. I was a Nirvana fanboy also.
Counterfeit 05.24.10	I think everyone (including myself) were at one time Nirvana fanboys. But I was an AiC fanboy before them.
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	Alice In Chains was actually one of the first bands I ever became interested in.
Dryden 05.24.10	1 and 2 the rest are boring
porch 05.24.10	STP weren't even grunge neither were Pearl Jam - Ten is a classic rock album, not grunge
Counterfeit 05.24.10	I know wutchew mean. They were my first heavier band. But the first band I really, really got into was Green Day back when American Idiot came out. Holy fuck I played that record non stop.
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	Pearl Jam were grunge. They just made it their own.
PearlDrummer20 05.24.10	and god damn Porchular... only 2 ratings?
porch 05.24.10	no its just that the term became meaningless and every band that wore flannel and had angsty lyrics was labelled grunge not that it matters now
porch 05.24.10	i deleted all my ratings because i decided to leave Sputnik a few days ago sites too addictive though so i'll still comment occasionally
PuddlesPuddles 05.24.10	"STP weren't even grunge neither were Pearl Jam - Ten is a classic rock album, not grunge" Nor Nirvana for that matter
NebSnurb 05.24.10	What about Queensryche?
porch 05.25.10	Bush was the only genuine grunge band
EVedder27 05.25.10	GOT A MACHINE HEAD
PearlDrummer20 05.25.10	BETTER THEN THE REST
theacademy 05.25.10	LOL SHOCKER! cliche ranking is cliche. spend a little moar time on p4k and you'll get it right eventually.
qwe3 05.25.10	pearl jam isnt grunge wtf
coneren 05.25.10	AIC= My favorite
austin888 07.20.10	Alice in Chains is the only grunge band I'm a fan of.
