After Kurt I’d nominate Andy Wood for the grunge division
Ben McMillan, lead singer of Gruntruck & Skin Yard, died way too young from complications related to diabetes. Super cool and really nice dude! Caught a lot of their shows back in the early 90’s.
I feel like because they opened for multiple bigger bands and threw in smaller free shows here and there I might have seen Screaming Trees, Gruntruck, and Sweet Water more than anyone else live. I dunno, it's at least close. Good times.
Totally agree! They are my #1 Seattle band to have seen live and it isn’t even close. Love Battery & Pure Joy are distant 2nds.

Shit, there's a band I'd not thought of in decades. Saw them once, pretty good. Also Screaming Trees once, and that show was awful.

is "regional" the term for a band that is well known for a while locally, but not nationally? Well, whatever. I'm amazed how many Sweet Water songs I still know by heart. Honestly for as much airplay as the songs Head Down, Crawl, Everything Will Be All Right, and Superstar got, the band never got very big.
