02.27.19 | 3 and 4 could go either way |
solrage
02.27.19 | 4 is 2 and 2 is 3 but 1 is most definitely m'f'n 1. |
SitarHero
02.27.19 | STP is (arguably) not a grunge band though and Purple is certainly not a grunge album. |
Doibhin69
02.27.19 | 1, 4, 2, 3, 5 imo |
Relinquished
02.27.19 | no mudhoney no list |

wham49
02.27.19 | "Temple of the Dog is 5"
if it was about greatest albums I would say even higher, but they werent really a band, just put out an album |
Larkinhill
02.27.19 | Screaming Trees are awesome. Such an underrated band. Dust is an amazing album. |
TheMightyScoop
02.27.19 | agreed and mark lanegan has some amazing solo records as well |
Viriathus
02.27.19 | Only Grunge I care about is Nirvanas Bleach and In Utero, Alice In Chains, and Melvins. |
TheMightyScoop
02.27.19 | melvins is sludge, not grunge |
Viriathus
02.27.19 | They were a part of both |
TheMightyScoop
02.27.19 | nah, they weren't. they inspired grunge, but they never associated with the scene. |
bgillesp
02.27.19 | I agree with this pretty much. Tough to rank the top 4 though |
Relinquished
02.27.19 | melvins were fairly grunge by houdini era onwards, association doesn't matter |
bgillesp
02.27.19 | If you count Afghan Whigs as grunge (which would be 60-80% accurate) they’d be 1 though. |
zakalwe
02.27.19 | Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Smashing Pumpkins

02.27.19 | 4 > 1 > L7 > 3 > Mudhoney > Hole > 5 >>>>>>>>>>> 2 |
JDoberman
02.27.19 | Soundgarden > Nirvana > Alice >>>>> Pearl Jam
in my book
and yeah i'd just leave STP out of it since they essentially left grunge behind after 1 & a half albums |
BerryGarlicia
02.27.19 | Pearl Jam < nirvana < soundgarden < Alice In Chains < stone temple pilots < screaming trees |
TheMightyScoop
02.27.19 | shut up berry |

StrikeOfTheBeast
03.01.19 | 1 is 1 [everyone ever] |
rockarollacola
03.29.19 | 1 and 4 are great, 5 and 3 are okay, and 3 is shit. |
StrikeOfTheBeast
03.29.19 | 1 > 2 > 5 >>> 4 >>> 3 |
conesmoke
03.29.19 | I reckon Smashing pumpkins were probs the best grunge band. But whatever. All those grunge bands kicked ass. |
JDoberman
03.29.19 | SP seem like they were part of the grunge thing from a distance, until you actually listen to them |
DoofDoof
03.29.19 | Nirvana>Pearl Jam>AIC> Soundgarden=STP |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.29.19 | Holy shit it's one of my lists |
zakalwe
03.29.19 | Pumpkins were well and truly entwined in the grunge thing. Siamese Dream was lumped in with Nevermind, Ten and Dirt back then without the bat of an eyelid. |
JDoberman
04.03.19 | first two records had a foot in the grunge pond, so to speak, but after that they pretty much cut their ties entirely. i'm sure Corgan would scoff at the idea that they ever had anything to do w/ grunge at all |
zakalwe
04.03.19 | I’m not having it. They lapped it up. Grunge took off massively from 92 and was dead by 94. During that time Corgan was a flag bearer for the whole thing whoring himself on MTV.
You think of that period and ‘Today’ is one of the tunes that could be considered THE grunge tune. |
JDoberman
04.03.19 | that's still within the timeframe of their first 2 albums |
zakalwe
04.03.19 | So are all the other ‘grunge’ bands. The albums that came out in ‘91 hit the stratosphere in ‘92 |
DoofDoof
04.03.19 | all alt rock was 'grunge' for a while was pretty much the deal - it was like a rebranding of alternative rock |
Dylan620
04.03.19 | Soundgarden > Pearl Jam >= Nirvana > Alice in Chains > Stone Temple Pilots
Nirvana and PJ are extremely close |
GhandhiLion
04.03.19 | Reminder that the core of grunge is no different to the alt rock and punk that came before it. Everyone just called Mudhoney garage punk in the 80s. It was always just a buzzword to sell records. |
SitarHero
04.03.19 | What?! Grunge is a sub-genre of alt rock? No way! |
