AIC's "Dirt" is said to be a masterpiece. I must check the entire album sometime, but I just can't find inspiration 
You haven't heard "Dirt"?  I suggest rectifying that situation as soon as possible! It is one of my fave albums of all time.

Nirvana's my all time favorite grunge band. They were very popular in our country.
In your country?? They were massively popular even in mars 
Haha yeah, probably...but I wasn't really sure if they were that popular in other countries, esp. in other asian countries, when I posted the comment that's why I only said "in our country".

Nirvana are to this day an internationally successful and renowned band, for whatever unknown reason.

Nice to see Alice in Chains above Nirvana 
I haven't heard too much grunge, but I love Alice in Chains, STP and Soundgarden

I suppose AIC would be my favorite of the lot. i liked the bulk of Dirt, though AIC and Soundgarden were both rather hit and miss with me. Either I loved the songs or am totally ambivalent.
amusingly thanks to Big Dumb Sex i was "into grunge" years before Nirvana broke.
i will say i did buy the albums back in the day - AIC's first 3, Nirvana's first 3 (including Bleach, which i traded for Slayer's Decade fo Aggression... yay me), 3 SOundgardens, a couple Pearl Jam, Gruntruck... i was happy that the movement helped end the scourge of Glam... but by the time it came out my "heavy" tastes had already started shifting to Death Metal.
but was kinda nice ot have "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as a common starting point to outsiders who thought my musical tastes odd. gave them a glimpse of understanding to what i liked about what i liked.

I'm trying to understand what's a "extreme power metal" since forever.
Off-topic response: Extreme power metal is power metal performed with harsh vocals. Many casual listeners refer to this style as melodic death metal; however, this tag is inappropriate as there are no death metal elements in power metal. Thus, the term "extreme" power metal is used.
Off-topic quote: Extreme power metal is a "official" term? In the case of Children of Bodom, I preffer to tag them as speed metal with neo-classical and extreme metal influences (or at least the older albums).

Well, I heard the album once, but without giving attention to the music, except for the last track, "Would?". I probably give it a 7/10, but I'll listen the album again, in the future.

Had trouble deciding between Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains, but I went with PJ since I only really enjoy AiC on a song to song basis (though Dirt it a great album)

I saw Nirvana on their Nevermind tour and also Alice in Chains on their Dirt tour and both were good. Also saw Soundgarden when they were touring in support of Superunknown. I voted for Alice in Chains in the poll. I think they are clearly the stand out band of the so-called "grunge" bands. I don't like that term anyway - it was just made up by some bozo in the industry.

I like Sound Garden the most, but all these bands have something great to offer. For Sound Garden I'd say first and foremost Chris Cornell is one of the best rock singers out there. Second they have great sludgy metal riffs and I dig their general sound.
Nirvana used to be down on my list, but I think it was only because they are so popular. Kurt Cobain's lyrics literally shit all over the fucking masses who are like 'man I love smells like teen spirit' in that very song in fact. It's hilarious. But when you take away the popularity these guys have a great don't give a shit fuck the world attitude. It's great.
Pearl Jam is just a good rock band. Great songs, nice lyrics, well done fellas. Alice In Chains were excellent too. Really this is all good music.

Nirvana gotta real success after Cobain's death to be honest. When they were active, they surrounded by coercive controversies which helped them in getting a spotlight( like smashing guitars on a live show or Kurt fighting with people onstage/ security guards etc). They were horribly drenched in a pool of drugs and half of their interviews wasn't even serious. They were great. But, when Kurt shot himself, Nirvana gotta lot more spotlight/ publicity and it helped them to get recognized in grunge scene.

That did increase their popularity, however, I'm still pretty sure Nevermind was huge. That album was pretty well recognized before Kurt Cobain's death. I'm not sure if the controversies would have received the spotlight that they did if Nirvana wasn't already popular. I mean look at GG Allen (unpopular, controversial, no one cared that he died). Either way, probably arguing chicken and egg here.

Nirvana were already all over the world before Kurt was killed. Nevermind was a number one seller almost in all countries as was In Utero and the Unplugged album. Smells Like Teen Spirit was number one the world over as well.
Anyone denying that was clearly not yet born at the time or not old enough to know what was going on.
And tbh Nirvana were a lot more in the spotlight BEFORE Kurt shot himself. Kurt shot himself Kurt was in the spotlight for a bit, but not the band. And that waned pretty quickly anyway.
Once again Cynic clearly shows he doesn't know what he is talking about.

I love nirvana but i think the honor goes to pearl jam in my opinion
jeremy is one of my all time favorite songs. and nirvana is what everybody expects you to pick so yeah.
i've never listened to any alice in chains to be quite honest (one song)
and same goes for soundgarden although i've heard more then one song by them.

Pearl Jam. Meh

I'm with Marcel on this. Cynic is clueless. when "Smells Like Teen Spirit" broke, everyone loved it. EVERYONE... even the peeps who went to the R&B/Hip-Hop clubs that played shit like Boyz II Men and BBD loved it.
They were huge, and the rest of the "big" Grunge bands rose in prominence as well once that hit... amusingly AIC and Soundgarden were more popular prior to Nevermind, buy a significant margin.
the notion their popularity exploded after his death is nothing more than stupidity. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" did to glam what Kurt did to himself three years later. the label hoped to sell 250,000 copies of "Nevermind"... they were selling 400,000 a month once it hit. they bumped Michael Jackson off the charts and were everywhere. they were both popular and critically acclaimed - with indie cred to boot. a combination you don't usually see.

True. When did I said that "before his death" Nirvana was NOTHING? They were truly an acclaimed active grunge band who was ripping the charts up since they came out with "Bleach" in 89-90. Indeed it was a great debut and pretty awesome enough to get recognized.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a first single that quickly accelerated, thanks to eloquent display of the song on MTV and radio which smashed more than 250,000 copies in America. Very True.
But, what I was saying that Nirvana's three album were brutally spotlighted from Nirvana's frontman death, even before the people who wouldn't know who NIRVANA was get to know about them( Regular Headlines about Kurt and his albums!!). "In Utero" wasn't even a bad album I guess, still it was one the weakest among their catalogs and hits like "Rape Me" and "Heart-Shaped Box" is still covered in live. Look, I'm not saying that Nirvana was all and only about "Kurt Cobain" or his suicide had something to do with their publicity or something. But, it's true when the news broke in, their work, albums, members and even support staff were truly recognized.

i lived it. i owned AIC and Soundgarden albums BEFORE they hit. i still remember their video first appearing because a buddy taped it and called me over the next day to check it out. i lived through the entirety of the grunge thing and experienced it firsthand, from the joy of dethroning glam through the burn out of the whole thing.
and you were, what, five?
but i guess you read about it on the internet, so please continue to teach me all about it.
