Seattle had an amazing gift to the music world in the early 90s! I travel alot around the world and love to get into discussions. People sometimes give me sh-- for being an American, some attack me- I love it! Granted lots of their criticisms are warranted-but I love to bring up great stuff America has provided to the world. Anyways one thing I claim for our country-my hypothesis is all great music the last 200 years came from America. -Blues -Gospel -Country -Jazz(nothing more American then Jazz, Country, Gospel and the Blues!) -Rock and Roll-Robert Johnson(he played the stuff that should of been plugged in!)->Chuck Berry->Elvis Presley->Beatles Motown Funk Disco Punk-I claim the Velvet Underground-perhaps Johny Coli could correct me on this?) Grunge Techno(two guys out of Detroit about 25 years ago) Rap Hip Hop Am I right or am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromagnum Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Granted they both kick ass and Nirvana helped pave the way for other Grunge bands, but I say Alice In Chains > Nirvana 736005[/snapback] Their both kickazz bands, I prefer alice in chains.. Here's alice, down in a whole. http://www.findvideos.com/videos.php?id=2109 Here's nirvana,smells like teen spirit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAhqsnmo_LA...search=nirvana% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I love both but voted Nirvana. Nirvana blew me away when I first heard them. We used to play that album over and over at my fraternity back in the day. !@#$ing groundbreaking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 This is a hard vote. If you vote on the level of "importance" then Nirvana wins by a mile. However, if you vote on musical ability - Alice in Chaimns gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjeff215 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 AIC by a long shot. While I respect Nirvana and recognize the impact they had, I just can't stomach them; mostly because of Cobain's voice. AIC, with a side of Soundgarden, please. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yall Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I voted for AiC but I have always felt they were more of a metal band that got lumped in with the grunge bands due to their location and timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taterhill Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Nirvana...plus Foo Fighters came from there...and I am a HUGE fan of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 It is def a tough vote...its like asking a mother who her favorite child is, and my favorite child would be Nirvana. Probably my favorite band of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopsGuy Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 -Jazz(nothing more American then Jazz, Country, Gospel and the Blues!) 736008[/snapback] In Ken Burns' "Baseball", there was a professor from Washington University, Gerald Early, who says in the very opening moments of the film, "When archaeologists study our civilization 2,000 years from now, we'll be known for only three things: the Constitution, Baseball and Jazz music." That always sticks with me. I can't choose between Nirvana or AiC. I've always liked Pearl Jam better than either. I do know, however, heroine addiction is bad for you.

Lurker Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 SLTS was one of those breakthrough crossover songs that cause people from "outside the circle" to pay attention and draw new listeners to the genre. I still get a great vibe everytime I listen to it and I'm 20 years past the "demographic" they were playing to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Alice in Chains vs. Nirvana, I find Nirvana is better for using as target practice while AIC makes a better coaster. I mean you're not actually LISTENING to this garbage...are you?
