    Bands permitted here:
    - Pearl Jam (but not too much - we've got that other thread)
    - Nirvana
    - Soundgarden
    - Alice in Chains
    - Temple of the Dog
    - Mad Season
    - Mudhoney
    - Mother Love Bone
    - Screaming Trees

    ...who am I forgetting?

    The Pumpkins and STP are solid, imo, but they are from Chicago and San Diego, repsectively. Plus I still claim that STP is a bit of a PJ rip off. Not as bad as Creed but still...

    Stone Temple Pilots are brilliant but to be honest, I wouldn't call them "a bit of a PJ rip off" at all.
  3. Does your word "but" imply they are "a big rip off of PJ?"

    I enjoy their music too and they definitely found their own direction. Even Core has many non-PJesque songs. The thing with STP is they got their big break with "Plush" (a great song) but back in 1992/3 when it was a big (video) hit people were initally asking, "When did Eddie Vedder die his hair orange?"
  4. true .. remember there was who was wondering if new PJ album was about to come out or if Eddie had secretely broken with the band or so on
  5. We were discussing AIC the other day, Ron, and our mutual like for the song "Down In A Hole."

    I didn't realize that it had only be played live twice (on of the occasions was the Unplugged set) while Layne Staley was around. It appears that the play it a lot with the new guy (can't remember his name off the top of my head) although he sound pretty good - and a lot like Layne. When the came around to Toronto a few years back (to the Sound Academy, no less) I didn't have much interest in seeing them. I sort of do now.

    Also, Layne didn't sing much of the two hits from Jar of Flies either.
  6. Is it just me (because I am a huge fan) or is nineties alt rock making a big comeback these days??????

    I recall that classic rock from the early seventies made a big comeback in the early nineties - at least it did for my friends and I.

    Maybe it's one of those 20-year cycle kinda things.

    quite a mystery why they kinda neglected the song back in the years .. maybe Layne didn't have, uhm lets say, "good feelings" singing it.

    i skipped every time Alice NOT in Chains came handy for me

    00's: Shit?? Radio friendly shit like Coldplay and to bad U2 also makes that kind of music.

    But also nice new bands, or at least their first albums, like Kings Of Leon, The Killers, Arctic Monkeys etc.
  11. i'll be damned for having opened the door to blasphemy here ... hehehe
  12. I suppose Muse might be big - although I'm quite certain they're bigger now on the east side of the Atlantic than they are over here. Kind of like Oasis, I guess.

    It's crazy to think what the landscape of "popular" music (not "pop" music) will look like in a decade or so.
