I went with Alice in chains, I've been jamming Dirt pretty frequently lately. I really like the bleak tone of their music.
I agree. I always though AiC were at their best doing slow, dirgey, depressing songs. Unfortunately, most of the time they wanted to rock out, which thy weren't nearly as good at.
Stone Tempple Pilots on this list? No Mudhoney? Really? wow. For me they all (not including STP) are amazing. Can't choose. I love Nirvana for the punk influence they had. Alice In Chains because of the metal sound and how they could go from heavy as hell to very mellow, but the same could be said about Nirvana going from a punk song like Territorial Pissings and a heavy metal like song in School to Polly, Something In The Way, and their Unplugged album.
Pearl Jam is great as well, but honestly for me its between Nirvana and Alice In Chains with the rest (Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam.)
i just listened to mudhoney's my brother the cow album. not great but decent
Alice in Chains hands down wins this one for me. Jerry Cantrell is underrated as a songwriter and a guitarist, and he did a great job filing in on vocals when Staley couldn't keep it together due to his drug use.
Don't know if anyone has checked out AIC's new album, but it is also good mainly due to Cantrell... criminally underrated.
AIC unplugged is absolutely brilliant. All their albums with Layne were pretty damn good.
Unplugged is awesome, completely underrated in comparison to THAT other Unplugged album, you know by whom

I enjoy listening to Alice In Chains unplugged, but to be completely honest. Most "all" of the recorded unplugged shows of various different artist and bands are awesome, within they're own individual right.
What stands out to me in the Alice In Chains unplugged recordings, is how Stanley Layne's body, physical appearance was so belated by drug abuse. But his voice didn't fail him.
Nirvana unplugged, kind of carries a depressing vibe (personally) also in the same way Alice In Chains does. Its not in the music itself more so than the fact, that it is one of the artist last recordings, right before their death.
