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.

    Candlebox
    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.
