you have an addiction to seattle based bands...without AiC??

woah. *mind officially blown* :cool:


1. been said, but they only have 4 albums: facelift, Dirt, Jar of Flies (ep) Sap (ep) and Self-titled (or Tripod) they also have Live, and Unplugged...oh, and the various "Best Of" which include maybe one or two soundtracks or singles or whatnot...so, given that to come up with 3 albums seems silly...might as well just go with a greatest hits and figure out if you like their style. *please note - they are more than just "Rooster" *

2. 3 best songs? hmmn, this is subjective and depending on style that you savor, and how much relevance you place on popularity of songs...

my favorites:
Facelift:
Love Hate Love
Real Thing (rather underrated)
Sea of Sorrow

Dirt:
Angry Chair
Dirt
Hate to Feel
*there are so many others from this album...really this is a must have album.

Jar of Flies:
Don't follow
No Excuses
Rotten Apple
*there are only a few more songs on this album...it's an EP

Sap:
Brother
Got Me Wrong* fav. all time song
Am I inside
*once again this is an EP

Self-Titled:
Sludge Factory
Brush Away
Head Creeps
*this album showcases the height of the descent...it should also be considered a must have.

well, there you go...hope that helps.
seriously, tho you might want to just get the greatest hits and see if you like the general MOOD of this band.

pretty good list, but you have to include Rooster...it was their big hit.

And yeah...it is one of those bands that my favs change lots...everything they produced was good.

1-DIRT - tough call, solid album...one of the best of all time - Down in a whole
2-JAR OF FLIES - No Excuses
3-AIC - Heaven Beside You (Over Now a close second)
4-FACELIFT - Man in the box
5-SAP - get me wrong (brother would be close)


Born again is also superb, but I believe only in the boxset.

Just check them out on youtube.

You're wrong... Sap was released Feb. 1992 while Jar of Flies was released January 1994. I definitely owned Sap a few years before Jar of Flies!

this is true because i owned sap way before jar of flies came out.

Dirt- Down in a Hole
Facelift- Love Hate Love
Jar of Flies- Rotten Apple
Self titled- Head Creeps
Sap-Brother

South of Seattle

Do any of you guys have the Jar of Flies CD with the plastic flies in the spine? I remember making sure mine did when I bought it way back when

Facelift- Man in the Box, Bleed the Freak
Dirt- Junkhead (obviously) Down in a Hole, Them Bones
Tripod (self titled) - Grind, Frogs, Again
Unplugged- Got Me wrong, brother, Nutshell
Jar of Flies- Nutshell, Rotten Apple

Buy the unplugged DVD though, that is my favorite AIC thing that I own.

Whats a real crying shame is that the '98 recording sessions didnt continue. Get Born Again and Died are two of my favourite AIC songs, shame that Layne wasnt up to working. Boggy Depot, Jerry's solo debut from around that time, would've been so much better with Layne's vocals on it

1. What are their 3 best albums (in order)
2. What their their best 3 songs in each of those albums (1 song from each album)

1. Dirt - Jar Of Flies - Alice In Chains
2. God Smack/Rain When I Die - I Stay Away - Heaven Beside You

WHAT IN GODS NAME, HAVE YOU DONE!!

Anything and everything from AIC will not dissapoint...one of my fav bands ever...
I'd start off with Facelift but yet Dirt is a classic...heck they are all awesome..

As well it's not AIC but check into Mad Season as well.... Layne does Vocals
