Alice in chains BY FAR. Let us not forget about the one album wonder, mad season.

^^yeah AIC for the win

i like Melvins better but they're more "sludge" than grunge

I would vote for Nirvana, but seems that they've already on number 1 (obviously)

So I'll vote for Soundgarden instead, a gread band but often underrated by critism.

I love nirvana and soundgarden a lot. But they just don't top aic to me. Aic was the most unique of all those bands and the most diverse. Look at songs like "don't follow" then look at songs like "rotten apple" and "swing on this." look how much different an album like "facelift" is compared to their unplugged album. There was just something special about that band. They had a mystique about them that none of the other bands had in my opinion. Nirvana wins because they had such a profound impact on things. But I still think aic was better.

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 agree with all of this

Alice In Chains just won "The Throw down" against Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine on That Metal Show.

Doesn't specify as 'Grunge' so I'd still go for Melvins.

The U-Men deserve more props. They only released one album and a few EP's, but they were influential, and had more imagination in one hook then half the bands that composed the Grunge scene could muster in an entire album.

Them, The Melvins or Nirvana would get my vote... I couldn't commit to one over the others though.

For anyone interested in the U-Men.
