through Spotify last week maybe but at the time no, Cobain and the whirlwind around Nirvana coupled with the music itself was very interesting...Soundgarden were just a band of 'good egg' rockers without too much to say and quite traditional classic rock influences
Don't get me wrong I like them but they never seemed a band to say 'woah, so interesting' about

You almost right, just replace Led Zeppelin for The Doors.
I like Nirvana but not a fan, unplugged is superb though. Best grunge is AiC.

Sadly, I didn't. I even caught the worst of it with his dogshit Mercyful Fate takes.
"It’s all I listened to up to about age 19 so I dunno dude"
Fascinating.

Eg - 1100 metal tagged ratings on RYM and counting ;P

Hold in mind that 3.5 means 'excellent' on my scale and a 4 would mean the album is in my top 2000 of all time.
And hold in mind that for me there's more to music than just rock and metal.

How come?
Of my 11,000 ratings I’d say over a third are rock or metal
I’d also say across my whole life over a third of my listening is of rock or metal
It’s not a boast, it’s just literally what it is

As if Soundgarden didn't also have the influences from the likes of U-Men, The Scientists, and Skin Yard ontop of the Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and King's X type sounds.
Grunge in general was pretty much Hard Rock mixed with more angular noisy Post-Punk. Even Kurt Cobain himself couldn't completely deny Hard Rock influences considering how he had Aerosmith in his top 25 favorite albums and I believe has stated Kiss was one of the reasons he picked up guitar. I also wouldn't pin The Replacements on being as relevant to Nirvana in comparison to Wipers or Sonic Youth.

Doof be like "yo guys I like the band that sounds like a worse version otherwise good indie/alt bands instead of the band that somewhat sounds like prior hard rock bands, I am so quirky"

'Doof be like "yo guys I like the band that sounds like a worse version otherwise good indie/alt bands instead of the band that somewhat sounds like prior hard rock bands, I am so quirky"'
No, I like both bands and all the bands I listed as influences. No one says they like Nirvana to be quirky, they're arguably the most famous band of the '90s, how can that be quirky?
's if Soundgarden didn't also have the influences from the likes of U-Men, The Scientists, and Skin Yard ontop of the Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and King's X type sounds.'
^ true, but certainly not as much by the time they reached 'Down on the Upside' imo

Sure, in a vacuum, this is true. However, it certainly is the case when you say stuff like this:
"Soundgarden were just a band of 'good egg' rockers without too much to say and quite traditional classic rock influences"
Which was something you said before Down On the Upside was ever mentioned.

I think my main point is if you're coming from a place of most liking the mid to late '80s indie rock and punk scene then you'll probably prefer Nirvana and if you are coming more from classic rock you're more likely to like Soundgarden
I think the term 'grunge' and shared geography forces people to compare two bands that probably don't have much more in common than Muse and Queens of the Stone Age did in 2002 or whatever
I like them both so I guess I apologise for asserting Soundgarden aren't inherently more interesting than Nirvana and move on...

doof is right. the rock/metalheads will gravitate towards soundgarden, the punks will like nirvana more. or you can like both because who gives af which is better
