There's some others, but I think these are pretty universally considered to be the defining bands of the genre.

Pearl Jam for me tbh.

Cornell's pretty fantastic for sure.

Audioslave's first album is probably my favorite in the entire damn genre tbh, or at least up there.

Ten and Vs. are also pretty great though, as are a bunch of PJ's other albums.

Alice in chains, in terms of sound, songwriting, and structure, was the better band. Nutshell is just incredible.

Honestly, off the top of my head I can only think of Spoonman and Black Hole Sun.

I need to listen to more Soundgarden, they're the one I've heard the least.

All four are so fucking good.

All four bands experienced the deaths of their original frontmen (Yes, even Pearl Jam [and no, Eddie Vedder is alive]).

This fact is always hard to swallow. Despite the tragedy, the 90s were a Rock renaissance, a triumph for musical innovation.

Are you talking Andrew Wood?

Cause Mother Loves Bone and Pearl Jam are 2 pretty distinct bands, even if it had 2 of the same members and paved the path for PJ. Eddie's always been PJ's frontman.

As a child, Soundgarden was my favorite of those four, though I liked Stone Temple Pilots even more. By the time I was in high school, and to this day, Nirvana has far and away been my favorite. I also believe Nirvana deserves to be mentioned along side the greatest pop (popular, mainstream) acts of all time.

Alice in Chains all day. The combination of Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell is simply epic.

Also, the video for "I Stay Away" still gives me chills, all these years later. I'd link it, but my phone is being a dick <_<

Soundgarden/Audioslave. Chris Cornell is the best male vocalist of the past 40 years (at least).

To me, Soundgarden was the Zeppelin of the 90s. "Let Me Drown" wouldn't sound out of place on Led Zeppelin II. Alice in Chains, by comparison, were kind of the Sabbath of that era. "Sickman" could almost be a song on Sabotage.

AiC takes it for me, but it's a close ranking.

Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam are tied for me. I'm in the minority that think most of PJ'S catelog is incredible. No Code is my favorite album of theirs.

That's cool and all, but he is indeed the worst of the 4.

That doesn't mean he sucks, it just means he's not as good as Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, or Kurt Cobain. That's in no way an insult, and in fact I see it as a compliment that he can be compared to those 3.

Vedder is great, just not GOAT material.

Nirvana was consistently good
Pearl Jam was consistently good (and still going)
AiC was consistently mediocre
