No disrespect to these bands but I don't consider them in the league of Nirvava, AIC, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.

Which one of these is you favorite?

    Yeah, I'd put them about exactly on par with Candlebox (huge first album, maintained a decent following, broke up, got back together). I think Dave Krusen is Candlebox's current drummer.

    I consider Candlebox to be better than Soundgarden and way better than Nirvana.

    My 2nd favorite Seattle band of the 90s though is The Presidents.

    Not sure about that, but wouldn't surprise me. I know Sean Nelson (Harvey Danger's singer) is the arts editor for The Stranger, our alternative Seattle weekly newspaper. He's been there since the late 90's. BTW, Harvey Danger was a fun band to see back then. 

    And Screaming Trees was my favorite local band back in the day (so not 2nd Tier for me). Saw them play many times in the 90's and they always put on amazing shows.
