What do you consider the best grunge song ever?

[Kadarin]

I really don't like the entire genre.

 

[Farang]

I think bands identified as grunge either evolved into typical rock bands or maybe the whole genre was artificial to begin with.. but if it counts I'd say Nutshell by Alice in Chains.

 

[CorCentral]

I don't know, but was this Grunge, or the Beginning of it?
Ugly Kid Joe/Everything about you

Hearing Cornell and Chester sing this from 20 feet away in concert on Tuesday was amazing....

That must of been awesome. I never had the opportunity of seeing it performed live.

Lot of good songs here (never been a big STP fan though), though I'm not even really sure I know what grunge is.

From Bands not mentioned I'd add:

Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

Screaming Trees - Nearly Lost You

L7 - Pretend We're Dead

Oleander - Why I'm Here

Dinosaur Jr. - Feel The Pain

Bah, whatever, I'm going to bed now.

Seriously, I'm not even a huge Nirvana fan and this song just defined the genre.

Someone else mentioned Would?, which is an amazing song in itself. But as far as definitive grunge songs, MitB wins 😀 Layne's voice is just amazing, progressively getting more powerful through each chorus, the last one gives me chills.

Eh? Works for me on both computers, plus it's a much better song than the one you linked. 😀
