Having only rediscovered Above - Mad Season again after so long i would have to say this, however Badmotorfinger and TOTD are tied for 2nd place

Badmotorfinger

1) Superunknown
2) Everything Alice In Chains ever did

Now, don't everyone piss themselves at once with what I'm about to say, but... the rest of grunge fuckin sucks.

have you heard AIC's early tracks? they are glam metal. fun to listen to once, but awful as a catalog addition.

that is a bold statement my friend. very, very bold. some would say big and bold.

Nirvana's Incesticide.

It's a B side record but still one of my favs!

F Me In The Brain

Wow, tough question. So tough to bypass Facelift, Dirt, and Incesticide.

Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

I love that EP.

Runners Up are:

Soundgarden - Down on the Upside
Nirvana Unplugged
AIC Unplugged
Nirvana Bleach
AIC Tripod

No Coder

jeez, that is tough

Badmotorfinger - Soundgarden would be my 1A
and Dirt - AIC is 1B
followed by Above - Mad Season

It is, indeed. I've actually always found it kinda silly how almost everyone into Pearl Jam is like "OMFGSEATTLE" about anything and everything even remotely related to Pearl Jam. People seriously dropped $100 on Mother Love Bone vinyl? WTF??

never been a fan of MLB. But I admittely gave them a shot because of the "lineage". I think that's what mostly has happened. People were hungry for anything like PJ/Nirvana/SG/AIC and inevitibly they found something they liked. I listened to a lot of the seattle stuff, and didn't like a lot of it. Gruntruck, for instance, I thought was garbage. But Ed said "I was watching Gruntruck from the side of the stage, and besides being amazed....", so I gave it a shot.

And there is a lot of romanticism that comes with that scene. Any scene that is cut short that quickly by drugs and death is ultimately going to be that way.
