Yeah, I said it.

Pearl Jam's the better grunge band.

Alice in chains had the best vocalist but for my money stp was the overall best band of those early 90s groups. Purple is the best album for me in those days

Alice In Chains is up there, and I like STP, but Pearl Jam has just such a huge catalogue of amazing songs, you cant compete.

Soundgardan's solid, but they really only have a small handful of songs that really made a dent in the genre, while Pearl Jam has a ton.

Also, Audioslave >Soundgarden.

I actually agree with this. I think for that era, it goes Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden.

There's a special place in my heart, and teenage years for Pearl Jam. I was listening to them tonight while gaming. Garden for me is one of the greatest songs ever.

Garden's really good. Honestly ,Ten is an almost perfect album. Vs. and Vitalogy are right up there as well. admittedly, after Vitalogy they get a little more hit or miss, but there's still some gold sprinkled across their later albums as well. Backspacer is underrated as fuck.

In therms of their ranking, I mostly agree, but would replace Soundgarden with Audioslave.

I debate this sometimes but then I remember I have owned the entire nirvana discography including box set and live albums since I was a teen. So understandably I get sick of them. I dunno man after a good break nirvana is pretty great. ;)

I mean, admittedly excluding their live albums and such, they only have 3 legit albums though. Pearl Jam has so much more legitimately great content, that for me, it pushes them over the edge.

Some of their songs do have a little bit of enunciation issues, but their overall sound, messages, content, etc. is just so much more heavy hitting to me, as well as the fact that they've been able to continue making so much more quality music, really pushes them over the edge for me.

Well yeah there's a reason we only got 3 mainline nirvana records. .Lol, May Kurt rip. But yeah I have to agree. Pearl jam has a pretty great discography. But nirvana is really Raw and punkish. Tough call indeed.

I will grant you, Eddie had some good content. But he couldn't sing for shit. And sometimes he intentionally made the lyrics unrecognizable.

Pearl Jam's first 3 albums are filled with gold, they have way more than just 5 good songs.

While there more recent albums are admittedly less consistent, there's still a fair bit of gold scattered in them as well.

Pearl Jam is the most musically talented along with Alice in Chains
Soundgarden had the best vocalist
Nirvana had the most iconic and unique sound

Also I believe Cobain was the best lyricist tbh. He was able to write in mood and feeling without ever crossing over into cliche or trying too hard. His writing was relatable, poetic without ever feeling obscure. It's why everyone gravitated towards Nirvana.

Absolutely not

They've only made one real high quality album while the other 3 grunge bands have several

Vedder is also probably the worst vocalist of the four

Ten, VS. and Vitalogy are all amazing, Backspacer's solid, and Yield, while being really hit or miss, has some great shit on it too, like Do The Evolution.

Their other albums have some good stuff too, but the ones I mentioned previously are my personal favs.

Nirvana has several good songs, and is undoubtedly a great band.

But Pearl Jam's better. I prefer their lyrics, their sound, and I like Eddie's voice. His enunciation is a little lacking at times, sure, but that kinda adds to his charm IMO.
