    Cornell is great, but the rest of the band is subpar to any other 90's grunge type band.

    They used to be my favorite. Not anymore though. I still like them better than Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam and their fans are awful.

    My rankings

    AIC
    Nirvana
    Soundgarden






    Pearl Jam
    Fuck all y'all for not including Heart (ILTC Bellevue "Seattle").

    Especially Nancy, not chunky Ann though she was fairly doable back in the day.

    A wild guess bit pretty sure Heart has sold more albums than anyone in the north west
    Imma guess Quincy Jones is probably the leader in the clubhouse if you want to go down that path.

    But Heart has to be far and away the best selling artist from the Northwest. Probably by double at least.

    Though that fuck Macklemore rings the register in high quantity via the interwebs. He might catch them eventually.
    You clearly underestimate Nirvana's worldwide appeal. They've sold 75 million albums. Heart's sold 35 mill.

    Macklemore will never touch Heart's sales let alone Nirvana's.
    After a little more research here's what I've found:

    Nirvana 75 million
    PJ 60 million
    AIC and Heart both at 35 million
    Soundgarden 22.5 million









    But number one looks like Jimi Hendrix, with 80 million sold worldwide.

    70"s Hear was not for girls and homos, flea. They were big in Shelton even. Led Zeppelin wannabes. I'm not talking faggy 80's video Heart

    Yeah - I hear you. Everyone listened to and wanted to bang the Wilsons when Dreamboat Annie and Little Queen were out. It was good music.

    But then they went horribly wrong - and miraculously, the albums I thought were pieces of shit were their biggest sellers.

    I don't give a fuck that Pearl Jam sold more than Soundgarden, either - Badmotorfinger and Superunknown are albums I can listen to over and over and I don't think PJ ever had an album I wanted to play over again.

    It makes sense Jimi would set the bar. Who the fuck in the world doesn't like Jimi?

    Every offseason this board has a "Seattle Grunge Superiority Guy" Thread.

    Always, the final consensus is Pearl Jam sucks.

    There is only one true Grunge Superiority Guy, and we're still waiting to hear from him about how Soundgarden blows them all away. Paging * @Blackie *.
    Ehh. You like what you like.


    But you're an incompetent ass if you don't have Cornell as a top 3 rock vocalist and lyricist of the past 30 years.

    Early in my poasting carrere hardyharhar here, the Actual Duck tried to say Modest Mouse > Soundgarden.

    He's right. Pretty vocals usually mean that your band sucks.

    I don't agree. But I'll allow it.

    you don't say? I'm shocked a genre that was largely regional before being infiltrated by A&M, Columbia, and Geffen would have many noteworthy / influential artists that the fans of the Top-40 radio frontrunners don't know about.
