Is there anyone that doesn't like Pearl Jam, but likes other grunge rock bands or you just don't like grunge rock?

I didn't care for grunge, but I also do not think of Soundgarden or Alice In Chains as grunge bands.

Outside of a couple songs, PJ is just somewhat organized noise to me.

I feel like everyone can do an impersonation of Eddie Vedder.

In the sense of good vs bad I would have to go on the good side of things. Buy I don't think they'd make the next tier if there was one

If soundgarden wasn’t grunge, neither was Pearl Jam.

Soundgarden was pre-peak-grunge, but they were grunge. Still in a tier above PJ, would even go so far as to say the best grunge band.

I always looked as the more hardcore/punk side of grunge as true grunge. Nirvana exploded in 1991; Pearl Jam were from Seattle so grunge.

SG are grunge in the same way as my last deuce was. They're much closer, stylistically, to metal than grunge.

They're really their own thing, not really categorical.

Birth Ritual is classic grunge, they did evolve their sound. Badmotorfinger is a grunge album.

Honestly I don’t consider PJ grunge. I don’t think they’re heavy enough; not compared to Nirvana, Alice, Soundgerden etc

Pearl Jam sucks.

Alice in Chains is grunge, but damn good grunge. Soundgarden started off pretty grunge like I guess but evolved and are basically a rock band. Both miles better than Pearl Jam ever hopes to be.

Both Cornell and Stayley are/were better vocalists than Vedder as well.

Alice is one of my top 10 musical artists ever too so I don’t mean to say PJ is better

Nirvana defined the genre but their b-side stuff doesn’t hold up compared to Alice imo

I also think Nirvana sucks for the most part too.. I get their place in history and why they were important, but meh.

They have a few standout tracks, but the majority just runs together not moving the needle.

Nirvana’s best stuff is legendarily great (Smells like a teen Spirit, MTV Unplugged album) and they have some bonafide hits but AiC was much more rounded as a band
