It comes down to personal preference.

I think Incesticide contains the best Nirvana material. Gimme "Dive" and "Aneurysm" over anything on Nevermind. Just my opinion.

yes, too cool to not worship ‘NeverMind.’
Same reason I don’t daily listen to 90s Aerosmith or nickleback.

In Utero & Vs. are the only "grunge" cd's I still crank.

Candlebox is just slightly more grunge than Trixter...

Exactly. It's not because they are too cool that not everyone has Hysteria as their favorite Lep album or the black album as the best Metallica album.

Thinking about it, Nevermind is to Bleach as Hysteria is to High'n Dry. Jason Everman and Chad Channing were the Cliff Burton and Pete Willis of Nirvana 😀

Yep. I prefer Pearl Jam. Always have. And the dingis who said they're not grunge must be seeing pink elephants again.

I agree. I'm a bit burned out on Nevermind and rarely listen to it but that album was an absolute game changer.

Same. It is the only grunge album I much liked at all.

It had that great Terry Date bottom end...I used to take the CD places to check out stereos.

I really don't understand what grunge is. Most of the grunge bands really don't seem to have much in common with each musically. A lot did try for the flannel look, but there was still a lot of diversity in their appeance.
Some came from Seattle iand they "acted" like they were against "hair" metal. Outside of that and the drugs, I don't see much of a common tie between the bands labeled as grunge.

Also, why does everyone say were no guitar solos in grunge? There were plenty. They just pretty much all sucked.

Is Sponge a grunge band?

I like most of those classic grunge albums, whether we're talking Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Nirvana releases. For me, the best one if AIC's Dirt.
