InFlamesWeThrash666 06.11.15	Alice In Chains
TheSpaceMan 06.11.15	both are pretty solid but I prefer nirvana
TheSpaceMan 06.11.15	but neither are the best grunge band :)
laughingman22 06.11.15	Alice in Chains unplugged > Nirvana unplugged just sayin
evilford 06.11.15	AIC no question at all
deathschool 06.11.15	I prefer Nirvana, but both rule. Soundgarden is the clear winner though.
Supercoolguy64 06.11.15	i've never finished AIC's discog, so i really cant say both are very great tho, leaning a little on AIC tho because i get some really heavy feels from them
CK 06.11.15	Deathschool wins for Soundgarden. Laughingman, you get Charlie work
someguest 06.11.15	heroin wins
Supercoolguy64 06.11.15	wow
someguest 06.11.15	: ' (
CK 06.11.15	wuh bout gunz
someguest 06.11.15	THE DAY I TIRED TO LIVEEEEEEEEE
ArsMoriendi 06.11.15	Honestly... I like In Utero more than any AiC EP/album, but overall AiC is better.
ArsMoriendi 06.11.15	In Utero > Sap > Jar of Flies > Dirt > Bleach > Alice in Chains > Facelift > Nevermind > Incesticide
someguest 06.11.15	Nirvana's more of a shotgun to the face, while Alice In Chains slowly injects itself into your veins.
evilford 06.11.15	Lol
CK 06.11.15	Wow you're just.. killin' it
Let 06.11.15	AiC and it's not even close
someguest 06.11.15	we're all overdosing on humor
Supercoolguy64 06.11.15	smack me veins, that was great soccer
someguest 06.11.15	what I can't decide is if I want to live On A Plain or Down In A Hole
PistolPete 06.11.15	AIC, I like my grunge bleak, ugly, and with a hint of wrist-slitting
Dylan620 06.11.15	AIC
TalonsOfFire 06.11.15	Definitely Alice in Chains, both are among the best rock bands of the 90s
ArsMoriendi 06.11.15	Yeah Soundgarden is better than both agreed.
CK 06.11.15	Yeah they're definitely among the best, not quite among my favorites though. Well, AIC maybe
sapient 06.11.15	Alice in Chains
someguest 06.11.15	eww
ArsMoriendi 06.11.15	Hmmm 1.Soundgarden 2.Alice in Chains 3.L7 4.Temple of the Dog 5.Nirvana Hole would probably be 6, I bet Mudhoney would top 5 if I even gave them the time of day lol
Supercoolguy64 06.11.15	Local H in top 5 favorite grunge bands holy shit soccer, mad respect
CK 06.11.15	I do grunge rankings by album, not band, because almost every grunge band has half or more of a discography that pisses me off or just simply isn't even grunge
porcupinetheater 06.11.15	Alice in Chains is legitimately amazing, Nirvana wouldn't have half the legacy they do if Kurt Cobain hadn't killed himself.
ArsMoriendi 06.11.15	"Nirvana wouldn't have half the legacy they do if Kurt Cobain hadn't killed himself." I hate when people say shit like that. He had hit songs and a huge fanbase before he offed himself and In Utero is brilliant, sure Alice in Chains is better on the whole, but it's silly to think Nirvana would have faded into obscurity.
Supercoolguy64 06.11.15	^^^^^^
porcupinetheater 06.11.15	Didn't say they would've disappeared or anything, but outside of this site they're pretty much THE grunge band that seems to be the standard everything else is measured against, and I don't think that would've happened otherwise. But of course, I don't really know shit, cause In Utero was far away the best thing they did, maybe there would've been classics to come.
Aftertheascension 06.11.15	Aic wins no contest
ArsMoriendi 06.11.15	Nirvana was about to break up around 1994 actually... they had 1 more album left in them tops except for maybe a reunion album.
CK 06.11.15	lol if Kurt were alive and they released a reunion album, I honestly bet it would SUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Royl123 06.11.15	Nirvana for me! Kurt Cobain is a god
Supercoolguy64 06.11.15	suposidly the fourth album would of been really intimate and "quiet" compared to in utero sucks that kurt died before they even started, i would of really liked to hear what they would of made
CK 06.11.15	Meh. Well, Unplugged in NY will always be my favorite by them. They knew how to do a live show
Royl123 06.11.15	^agreed hard
ArsMoriendi 06.11.15	"suposidly the fourth album would of been really intimate and "quiet" compared to in utero" Yeah they said it'd be R.E.M. influenced since him and Stipe were friends.
argonaut 06.11.15	AIC no contest, although Nirvana's nice too. Soundgarden over everything.
Avagantamos 06.11.15	AIC by a landslide
CK 06.11.15	Apparently :O
YoYoMancuso 06.11.15	AIC because Dirt is an extremely flawless record
CK 06.11.15	You get Charlie work
bungy 06.11.15	lol heroin wins i pick AIC
Avagantamos 06.11.15	nirvana is bad
CK 06.11.15	You get Charlie work [2]
Riviere 06.11.15	They're tied for me, behind Soundgarden. Nirvana had the best melodies though.
DamnVanne 06.11.15	I don't care for either, but Alice in Chains doesn't suck ass. Even through my bias I can see that.
DoofusWainwright 06.11.15	Nirvana ruled the planet and AIC just played to the metalhead community really so both playing different games - come on chaps Nirvana should get mad props for breaking the mainstream and producing music that didn't suck...
bach 06.11.15	can't compare them they're absolutely nothing alike. but nirvana
Davil667 06.11.15	What Doofus said is absolutely true. I'd never say Nirvana is bad or sh!t like that cause they were groundbreaking and opened doors for various awesome bands. I definitely prefer AIC though as they weren't as polished and more edgy somehow. I also think Stone Temple Pilots deserve a mention when speaking of this genre. They ruled so hard.
EvoHavok 06.11.15	Alice in Chains. I enjoy Nirvana a lot, though.
Rik VII 06.11.15	Grunge is not my cup of tea, but from what I've heard, Alice in Chains wins by a mile.
zakalwe 06.11.15	I can only speak as someone who lived it. AIC were great and released amazing stuff in a time of Siamese Dream, Pearl Jam, Angel Dust, NIN, Automatic for the People, Soundgarden, Blind Melon. All of that led to further exploration into Dino Jr, Sonic Youth, guided by voices, pavement, mudhoney.....on and on it went and amazing music was discovered. We were a generation who were told how great punk was but it was 'dead.' Dad rock was of a bygone era that may as well have been 1000yrs past. Metal was great but pantomime, hip hop was fresh but unrelatable, indie was great but studenty, dance was drug fulled incomprehensible 'beats' everything else was mainstream 'teenybopper' shite. In came Nirvana. It's all very well having the music to judge who is better and having a personal connection to something, heralding albums as classic but nothing comes close to the impact Nirvana had at the time. The spoilt, angsty, confused, apathetic, sarcastic, idealistic, naive, bitter teens had a band to hang their hat on. Have better albums been released by better bands? Of course. Has anything come close to the jolt Nirvana provided in blowing the doors off and making teens culturally significant? Nothing has been seen since that is even remotely similar. Some things are more important than great albums. Nirvana >
almosttolerable 06.11.15	Soundgarden I like jar of files more than any other nirvana album, but aside from dirt, i never got into the other aic lps (sap is good too) I like in utero incesticide and nevermind, but i cannot stand bleach i dnot know why Based on impact = nirvana based on my taste = tie
BigHans 06.11.15	http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=429519&listid=90675
CK 06.11.15	Facelift is better than Dirt
NLD 06.11.15	Not even close AIC
Thibs 06.11.15	AIC
CK 06.11.15	Nirvana is obviously winning. With AIC a close second and Soundgarden dead last even as a write in holy
DikkoZinner 06.11.15	AIC
DoofusWainwright 06.11.15	Zak has summed it up with Nirvana - at the time they ruled supreme, not even a competition - to think so is ridiculous. AIC were a cool niche band - Nirvana slayed everyone, no exception
adr 06.11.15	Dirt is better than every Nirvana album tbh
DoofusWainwright 06.11.15	Nirvana passed the raw talent and charisma test - Nirvana unplugged is twice the album that AIC unplugged is, not even close - to argue otherwise is just being contrary for the sake of it
Emim 06.11.15	http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=429519&listid=90675 this AiC wins by a country mile
Tunaboy45 06.11.15	Is it even a contest? AIC always.
DoofusWainwright 06.11.15	It's not a contest lol, like comparing Anthrax to Metallica - what you lot on about? Who is bigger - the Beatles or Bay City Rollers...?
LepreCon 06.12.15	Nirvana, I guess, since I've given their three albums and Unplugged 5's, but had they continued they would have probably been shite by now. AiC are still going strong even without Layne, their latest two albums are excellent.
grannypantys 06.12.15	nirvana was the band that got me into music back in the day AIC is the band I still listen to though https://plug.dj/metalfuckers
deathschool 06.12.15	I love you fuckers saying it's no contest, when there have been a fair number of votes for both
CK 06.12.15	lol yeah there's like an equal amount of "I'm gonna lean towards Nirvana" and "AIC by a landslide you pussies"
deathschool 06.12.15	Sounds like the people voting for Nirvana are more well-rounded tbh.
CK 06.12.15	Or they're Canadian
grannypantys 06.12.15	shudder
DoofusWainwright 06.12.15	Let's be honest Alice in Chains continuing without Layne is just awful and equals an instant disqualification from this contest.
CK 06.12.15	...no?
grannypantys 06.12.15	communist
Ocean of Noise 06.12.15	Admittedly Layne probably would have wanted them to continue without him but yeah the last 2 albums are boring af Nevermind is worse than both of them of course
DoofusWainwright 06.12.15	No problem with the band hiring new members and coming up with a different band name and hopefully a new musical identity - not a fan of bands resurrecting themselves without their charismatic frontman and just getting someone in to faithfully copy his style and try and mimic the old songwriting too. I genuinely prefer Jerry Cantrell's Boggy Depot album than the recent AIC ones - at least I got a feeling of what Cantrell was about and it felt natural. OofN - By pretty much any measure Nevermind is a more successful and authentic album that the two recent copycat Chains albums but hey, glad someone likes the exciting new incarnation of AIC, I've heard by 2021 they'll have written a new song almost identical and equally awesome to Would? - can't wait, just keep holding on...
