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....
