    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask. Has anyone checked out the new AIC? Is anyone willing to give them a chance?

    I don't even think it's the best AIC song! I like it, but it is way overplayed!

    ok, best grunge song would have to be something by pearl jam ;)

    as for this, being a huge AIC fan, i'm quite stumpted. opinion is opinion i guess, but AIC's most popular song..as their best? nahhh no way brother..look deeper...way better AIC than that as it is still great.. how bout some 'God AM', 'Shame In You', 'Down In A Hole', 'Rain When I Die', 'Love, Hate, Love', 'Nutshell', 'Brother', 'Died', or 'A Little Bitter'. dude the list goes oooonnn and oooonnn...i LOOVE 'Man In The Box' don't get me wrong, but wayy better AIC out there..idk i've always felt the radio hits by any band are never the best.

    Saw them last year and yes they are def worth checking out. Though I must point out, that they have said if they record any new material they will be using a different name.

    Good. I know Jerry was behind most of Alice's work, but it just ain't right.. The new singer is quite good though.

    you got the right band down in AIC, but the song that is best grunge to me by them is Would?

    i actually think if Layne wouldnt have died they could have been right up there with Pearl Jam, they had a sound that could have lasted generations


    AMEN

    they made such a variety of albums just like pj... so if they were stlil around indeed they would be up there

    Oh definetly. And at the time they were better at writing those sad acoustic driven songs than Pearl Jam or anyone really.. Nutshell and Brother being the obvious big two.

    no creo porque no puedes decidir eso en el grunge el grunge no se califica, se siente, no puedes decir cual es la mejor porque tu solo te dejas llevar por la cancion y no te dedicas a criticarla. Man In The Box es una obra de arte que sobresale entre otras pero hay mejores y peores dependiendo del gusto de cada uno.

    IDK. But I think the best grunge ballad would have to be Black. Almost everyone should agree with this. If not, oh well.

    Man in the Box might be my least favorite AIC song. I skip it when it comes up on my mp3 player.

    I think it is - it's the "rock song" of the 90's IMO....
