"funny how this albums called dirt yet id consider it one of the least dirty grunge albums i've heard"
Yeah S/T is WAY dirtier. Especially "Sludge Factory."

When these guys hit the scene, they were quasi-metal. I remember a ton of Metallica and Megadeth fans sporting AiC shirts. When Dirt came out, EVERYONE was wearing AiC shirts.
People give Nirvana credit, but this album really brought a change about in the rock music landscape.

Funny how Nirvana gets more mention on Vh1 shows and stuff (such as countdowns), and yet AiC seems to be more popular on here. Still baffles me.

I think it's okay to give more than one band credit for changing the music scene. I feel like Soundgarden did more of the groundwork.

All 4 contributed tbh, but SG was prob the most ripped-off of the bunch.

I remember someone saying a long time ago that in Seattle AiC was everyone's fav band out of the grunge movement back during its heyday, until Kurt Cobain died and all of a sudden Nirvana were everyone's fav

I've always found that it boiled down to musicianship. In the 90's AiC was known as a musicians band, Nirvana was more song driven.
From the Metal-head perspective fans of hard rock and metal felt more at home with AiC. Nirvana was almost too punk for those kids. It was a weird time to be into music honestly. I remember a lot of verbal arguments about what was metal and what wasn't. AiC was in, Nirvana was not.

Yeah, those 2 have got to be the most popular. SG somehow seems overshadowed by those bands.

They should have felt more at home with SG
|

I mean, I've talked to people who aren't too familiar with SG, so they don't seem to be as recalled as Nirvana or AiC.

Lack of more hit songs hurt Soundgarden. Rusty Cage was huge, but the rest of that album fizzled with the fringe kids; the ones that went from radio rock to the Seattle sound.
To the punk kids, the scene was already dead by the time they hit it big.

Yeah its strange because they were around the longest, you'd think they'd be more recognized

Soundgarden had unfortunate timing more than anything. But let's not pretend that they weren't huge back in the day. They just weren't quite as huge as the other big 3.

Mother Love Bone was the band all the punks I hung around with talked about back then. MLB, RHCP,
Fugazi, Dinosaur Jr, Mudhoney... those were the bands that were "in" back in like 91/92ish. Though,
living in New England may have flavored things a bit differently.

i'd argue that they were bigger than aic, at least in terms of radio/tv exposure

That's probably because Black Hole Sun was EVERYWHERE in '94. But I think AiC actually has more well known songs than SG.
