Do you mean you don't get why they get so much clout at the expense of the other groups? Cause I would agree. I love AIC, don't get me wrong, Jar of Flies is one of my fav records of all time, but for me Superunknown is the pinnacle of the grunge era. It has the doomy grunge thing down to a "T", while still managing to be totally diverse and accessible without sacrificing anything for it. One of the best rock records ever made, and it deserves to be right up there with the best of Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.
