pearl jam was the best live show I have ever seen, since I didnt get the chance to see AIC or nirvana I have to give the vote to PJ. AIC comes in 2nd tho.

Tough to choose, I never got too into AIC but I enjoyed what I did listen to, and Nirvana is okay. They've become so overrated in recent years it's not even funny. My vote goes to Pearl Jam, second would be to AIC, third to Nirvana.

I like all three bands fairly well, but nothing AIC or PJ ever made compares to the Unplugged Nirvana album. Nirvana win IMO.

They all rock, and contributed to the music scene. It was great listening to the radio back then, you had so many good bands. Even the one hit wonders seemed good and did something to contribute. Now we have studio manufactured crap.

The other two are worthless crap.

The day Kurt Cobain died was a blessing to all of us.

Took the words out of my mouth.

AIC has always been and will always be my favorite band. I love nirvana too, but with Alice in Chains they honestly have a song for every mood I'm in. I just can't picture Nirvana doing something like jar of flies and being able to pull it off. Pearl jam i liked, but after a few cds they started to all blend together, even when they were trying to take things in a different direction with barely listenable cds like 'Yield'. I mean when I'm pissed off, there's an AIC song, when I'm in a bad mood, there's an AIC song, when I'm just chillin I can pop in Jar of Flies and listen to No Excuses...I mean honestly, my mom MY MOM even liked some of jar of flies.

Lived in the Seattle area through the whole Seattle Grunge movement in the mid-90s. Liked them all, but I voted for AIC. The other two have just gotten tiresome to me over time.

AU Tiger: :thumbsup: for STP :)
