Pearl Jam vs Stone Temple Pilots

[Article 15]

Music Bank, AIC';s boxed set, is highly recommended.

I already own every studio album and a couple of live bootlegs.

What's new/worth it in the boxed set?

I mean, their first single about raping a bitch just didn't really strike a chord with 90s flannel crowds.

That's an awesome song!

For me it's a tough call, but I went with STP for their body of work.

But I still say Alice in Chains and Nirvana are better than both.

I'd say that AIC was, hands down, the best band out of the four mentioned in this thread already. while not as notably popular as the white whale of nirvana and PJ I respect Jerry Cantrell more than anyone else in the lineup. Facelift is probably, in my opinion, the best album of any of the four bands.. followed closely by Dirt.


Nirvana... I still can't listen to anything after Nevermind. Live Nirvana music is like catshit-covered peanut butter wrapped in a Butter Cup package. The best thing to come out of that band was Dave Grohl.

The Foo Fighter are quality shit. Plus their videos are generally hilarious.

I dig the Foo.

Alice in Chains factoid: Did you know that Godsmack started out as and AIC tribute band?

Definitely didn't know that.

Different mixes and versions and live songs. I'm sure you can, um, figure out a way to try before you but it.

also, any fans of Nirvana should check out the Complete Radio Sessions. not too shabby.

Nirvana rules!

Best sound Cobain ever made was "BANG"
