For sure! Pearl Jam is solid, like you said. What are your thoughts on Alice in Chains? I like their first two albums a lot. The post-Staley stuff i actually like, but i understand some people not getting into it.

I got really into Alice In Chains a lot this past year, after Pearl Jam, they're my favorite Grunge band.

Dirt is genuinely one of the greatest albums ever made IMO, although their first 3 albums are great in general. Their post-Staley stuff is decent and there's a couple of songs from that era I keep on my main playlist, but typically if I'm going to listen to AiC, I'm going to stick with the Staley stuff.

Have you ever heard of Mad Season? It's a one-album supergroup formed between Mike McCready from Pearl Jam, the drummer from Screaming Trees, someone else (>_>), and Layne Staley as lead singer.

The album is "Above", and it's really fucking good. Very solemn and nihilistic, even by Alice In Chains standards, but also simultaneously mellow and almost soothing on some tracks. It's a wonderful album, and I highly recommend it, it's a good change of pace from the typical Alice In Chains stuff, great as it is.
