All other 90's grunge bands were just trying to be Nirvana. Nirvana was copying the Pixies.
Jimi Hendrix is in his own category.
DON'T PUMP MY GAS DOG
You got the Pixies and Hendrix part right. Nirvana was also copying The Melvins, who way pre-date Nirvana. AiC, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone (more glam than grunge but still), Gruntruck, Green River, Mudhoney, and on and on either came before or essentially at the same time.
Fucking this. You beat me to it. The Melvins end this discussion.
My list would be AIC>Soundgarden>>>>>>Pearl Jam> Nirvana. I like all of then though and they are pretty much always in the rotation for me. I don't listen to any newer Pearl Jam though. I can't get into it.
All the grunge bands are solid but I can't listen for more than a few songs at a time. I would rather listen to Tool.
Tool is good too. It's too bad 95% of the new rock bands suck. Not to mention, rock isn't considered cool anymore so kids won't grow up wanting to be rock stars. They would rather press buttons and fist pump.

Meh, I'm sure Socrates said the same thing. The good stuff is out there. Dig into the psycho-billy/alt-alt-country scene.

Yea I haven't updated my iPod in years because of horrible all new music is (not just rock). Even most rock radio stations don't even really play much new music lol. KISW pretty much plays 80s/90s/2000s.

All artists generally copy other artists until they find a way to put a new twist on their product and make it their own.
Disagree, the northwest is the best region of the USA to live in.
Jesus. Stop. Embarrassing shit.
alright Michael, tell me where a better place to live is? Washington, Alaska, Montana, Oregon, parts of Idaho.....you can't beat it for nature and livability. Florida, AZ, NM, Cali, and Hawaii are all nice, but have flaws, as does the PNW..
the NorthEast is alright, I miss the mountains when I'm there though. too flat. Chicago has nice parts and bad parts. The eastern seaboard is miserable compared to the western seaboard. Texas sucks.
I can't comment on the south as I've never been there, but I'd imagine it isn't better than here
This. Exactly, word for word. Most of the other states outside the PNW have shitty weather. Frozen ass winters. No fall or spring. And FUCKING MISERABLE, stifling, humid, disgusting fucking heat for 4 months out of the year with all kinds of pestilent bugs swarming and biting you.

Fuck Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Nickelback for killing rock.

That state is the biggest fucking dreckfest to live in and it's not even close.

Why do you hate Creed? As scary as it is, there is worse shit currently getting played on rock stations than those groups.
