The Official Grunge Thread

RACIST

i put some questionable albums on there to stir something up.

read now

Well I've listened to Ten and Superunknown, and I own Nevermind, but I find that Nevermind is wayy overrated. I'm going with Superunknown because I favour Soundgarden more than Pearl Jam. But seriously, it's just a matter of opinion.

Yeah, a couple are questionable.
Bush's Sixteen Stone is about the best example of post-grunge you can find, it's not a grunge album at all. But you already knew that.

i wanted to vote for nevermind and core but ended up pushing the wrong button and voting for dirt.....

I wouldn't consider stp, silverchair, or bush to be grunge. Replace nirvana's Nevermind with Bleach and Soundgarden's Superunkown with Louder Than Love and you might just have a list, and then the best grunge album on that list would be Mudhoney's Superfuzz Bigmuff.

stp aren't grunge?

God no, their horrible commercialized modern rock.

erm...have you heard core? it's one of the few perfect 10 albums in my colection, alongside with nevermind.....

man grunge sucked

bush. Glycerine is one of my favorite songs in the whole entire galaxy.

Nirvana rockED!! lol

core was pretty good, not as good as tiny music or no.4 but it's their most grungiest if that's a word album. oH and I forgot to add Dinosaur Jr.s You're Living All Over Me and Temple of The Dog's album. I would've voted for DJ

clairvoyance

Pearl Jam for me.

My 2 cents-
Badmotorfinger is a better album than superunknown and I prefer Bleach over Nevermind...

and what about Mother Love Bone, Steel Pole Bathtub, and Helmet?

I really love Nevermind, I'm sorry my hipster friends..... I get annoyed when people hate nevermind because it was popular.

amen to that!

Word, Badmotorfinger is wayy better.
And I prefer In Utero over Bleach..

Nothing, **** Helmet.

I think Nevermind is a great album, but its not really grunge.In fact, Most of the mainstream stuff that came out after nevermind that got classified as grunge(I'm talking other bands too, not just nirvana) is really just alternative rock.

you make a good point...... Genres sometimes get taken over by mainstream radio, example: Every genre except pop....anyways who decides what is one genre or not......

toss up 'tween silverchair and nirvana for meeeee...........

Even before i clicked on the band i was gonna vote for,i knew it was gonna be Nirvana!!! hell i voted for 'Dirt' thats one album Alice In Chains is gonna be remembered for...and although while the constant references to heroin get a bit old ("Sickman," "Junkhead," "God Smack") the album works well as a whole with the possible exception of "Rooster" which doesn't quite jibe with the rest of the songs...but is probably one of there most influential songs!

as for silverchair!!!! thats not grunge,thats rubbish kiddy rock!

differant strokes for differant folks...id rather be listening to Helmets "in the meantime" then any of the albums listed. Not that the ones listed are terrible.

since theres no grunge forum, ill just ask here. who is your favorite grunge band?
 

i don't really listen to much grunge, seeing as i'm a huge hair-metal fan, but i like pearl jam, and stone temple pilots for those of you who consider them grunge. but i actually only like one song from nirvana.

Green River or Mudhoney

hmmm. never heard of either of them. best songs?

I listen to albums rather than just songs but here are a couple of good grunge albums

Nirvana- Bleach
Soundgarden- Louder than Love
Soundgarden- Ultramega OK
Soundgarden- Badmotorfinger
Mudhoney- [s/t]
Mudhoney- Superfuzz
Green River- Come on Down
Green River- Dry as a bone/rehab Doll

Mudhoney and Nirvana, I suppose. But then again, what the hell is grunge, anyway?

Soundgarden's pretty good too, but I think they have a lot of filler.

Nirvana
Soundgarden
Alice in chains
days of the new

ermmt heres tape calle dhype you could rent

dotn isn't grunge it's alternative/rock/post-grunge

Are other post genre's bigger than the genre? Because post-grunge is pretty huge while grunge is rather small.

At least motley_crue131 has finally moved into the 90s

not really. i only like pearl jam and stp, yall just haven't given me any reason to argue at the moment

Nirvana.

And is it wrong to feel embarrassed for you? You give Motley Crue fans a bad name. I mean, its already hard enough to be a Crue fan and keep respect.

meh, you don't listen to good music either.

I'm a bigger fan of the indie/grunge scene than the grunge scene.
Dinosaur Jr.
Pixies
Pavement

why the hell are YOU dissing me? i can like whatever music i want. i don't make fun of your music tastes even though i probably hate them

Gruntruck

Hammerbox (later Goodness).

I lived in Seattle at the time and got sick of the all the well know ones. Hammerbox were just below the surface of (inter)national fame. Best song is 'When 3 is 2'. Female led and definately worth checking out...

I saw Mudhoney on the page before this,

Mudhoney! -drool-

Though I didn't know they were grunge. :')
