Nirvana, of course. They're one of the best bands of all time. Pearl Jam sucks by the way.

Then there's no hope for you.

You can't teach taste.

Layne had a powerful unique voice. Never really considered them sludge but can understand how the lyrics aren't for everyone. Don't think they were unintelligent but the powerful resonating misery can get old. They never really progressed from that, and I don't see how they could since Layne was a heroin depressive. He just had such an impacted eerie voice I've ever heard.

The dude could sing, but he would always go from actually singing to making some goofy "voice" that just made him sound like a retard who didn't understand how goofy he sounded. When he didn't do that he was killer.

They definitely had their moments, but they were interspersed between lots of filler and half realized songs that only somewhat worked. The only times that I feel they were really firing on all cylinders was when they quit with the sludge and went melodic. Songs like "Would" and "Down In a Hole" were some of the few songs that were really great, and Jar of Flies is one of the best things to come out of the Seattle scene, but other than that I could take them or leave them.

So you didn't like their S/T album? That was one of my favorites!

What else do you want me to say? They make a few decent hits and then a close takes it's toll. It sounds nothing like Grunge, more like a sexually confused version of Soul and Classical. Which is NOT a good mixed... Sexually confused that is.

Pre-dated Soundgarden is alright though.

It was alright. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Alice In Chains, and can listen to them without feeling like I want to listen to something else, I'm just not over the moon about them and think they're totally overrated.
