It was my vote that did it BTW :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo: :xoxo:

[strandinthewind]

I picked Nirvana, but like Pearl Jam as well. Nirvana was sort of an era band for me.

I should have known, considering that your taste is all in your mouth.

If you don't love me now, you will never ever never ever ever ever love me again - baby :D

[shackin'up]

well, this is an impossible choice. But nirvana didn't do it for me. Pearl Jam did, and through the totally brilliant cooperationalbum between Soundgarden and Pearl Jam "temple of the dog" I discovered Chris Cornell &co. I got hooked on Badmotorfinger immediately. But Pearl Jam's star grew and grew for me, bought all their regular albums and still they rock my boat. But I never saw a more powerful singer live than Cornell. Only one Seattleband that wins it over these two: the much longer existing Screaming Trees. They had Mark Lanegan and that is my favorite singer of all time.

so my choice in the end....pearl jam....

[DavidMn]

Nirvana here.:nod:

[ryan8472]

Pearl Jam. Because...I hate Nirvana.

[dissention]

Pearl Jam. Because...I hate Nirvana.

Same here.

Nirvana? Overrated crap. My throat hurts listening to that guy scream.

[amber]

Alice In Chains

Soundgarden is the best out of those three, though.

[face of glass]

Alice In Chains
Oh, I agree there. :nod: If only for Dirt and Tripod. I went with Soundgarden too because I actually used to listen to them during my teens. The Nirvana albums were always missing from the library. :lol:

Of course I'd rather see the Pixies versus Sonic Youth versus Husker Du instead. Those bands started the whole thing, the three bands in this poll just popularized it on a larger scale.

[Serrart]

Nirvana were basically only Kurt Cobain, and his songs hadn't a big impact on me. Soungarden were quite boring, with the exception of a couple of tracks. Pearl Jam are a very good band live (when they're not all drunk) and I admire their policy with fans, so they're my choice.

In that case you should include screaming trees and mudhoney too.

[UnwindedDreams]

This is the one of the best threads on chit chat...thanks track!:xoxo:

[sparky]

This is a toughie. I think I will have to go with Soundgarden, just becase I love Chris Cornell's voice so much. Even though he oversings like Screeechine sometimes.
