    well in hockey (or I guess any sport really) they say that to tell whoever gets the most out of a trade is easy, you look at who got the best player, so in this case we'll just say that's whoever put out the best single album. With that in mind it's easy to say Nirvana. I mean In Utero is way better than any of teh Alice in Chains records-love them as I do. I find that sometimes AIC is hard to take a lot of in one sitting.

    AIC all the way.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    AIC had some absolutely brilliant tunes but I just cannot listen to Laynes voice, I really think it's horrible... so Nirvana it would be for me.

    which are the better AIC songs.
    I have faced it, A life wasted...

    Take my hand, my child of love
    Come step inside my tears
    Swim the magic ocean,
    I've been crying all these years

    Oh and also I have a confession to make: when someone asks a question like this, I always get confused with AIC and Live :o

    But since nobody else is answering :o I can say with SOME confidence that they sang 'down in a hole' and 'don't follow'. I actually love both of those... did they sing 'I alone'? Or was that Live??? :confused:

    Google here I come :o

    Nirvana was way over-rated. AIC was the better band by a landslide.

    I fully agree. Not that Nirvana sucks, but AIC was way better. And to the person who gets AIC confused with Live, I can't even think of a response. I am just blankly staring at my screen astounded.

    Alice in Chains, hands down. To me, they're the greatest band ever.
    I'll cut you in.

    Oh, yeah. I drove six hours from Memphis to Tulsa with 3 friends of mine. It was fucking fantastic. I had my doubts about William Duvall at first, but he blew me away. Great fucking show. The only downer was they didn't play the acoustic set, but oh well. I am more than happy with what I got.

    You get to see them?
