I liked some of the songs from a few of the artists but overall from that period and a little earlier, at least for rock, I was way way way more into Living Colour and Jane’s Addiction.

I was at the first Lollapalooza and Jane’s as headliner and especially Living Colour, were electrifying and better musicians and stage performers overall IMO.

Honestly with Living Colour it wasn’t even particularly close.

Strongest collection of players in each of their roles since Zeppelin.

Not as songwriters but as players.

I like Cornell’s voice.

And Curt wrote decent songs.

But mostly all the singers are borderline unlistenable.

I grew up on artists who were much more artistic, better musicians and def better singers and stage performers.

Pearl Jam seems earnest and authentic but Eddie sings like a Lama.

Alice In Chains and Stone Temple singers not far behind him in the farm animal vocals.

Soundgarden the clear best band of the bunch and especially vocalist but overall they’re the biggest Zeppelin rip until Greta Van Fleet.

Nirvana took a lot from The Pixies and Meat Puppets but they were fairly cool.

Can’t understand a single word on most their songs except for their greatest line ever for our generation that really speaks to me and my approach and perspective on life.

Oh Well Whatever Nevermind

The greatest contribution to the world by grunge.

It was the last true movement in rock though and the first to be mostly derivative.

Then the Hipsters took care of the rest and killed the rock and roll era as we know it.
