1 - Soundgarden - One of my all time favorites. Kim Thayil picks up where Iommi left off. Matt Cameron; great drummer considering the odd time signatures they used. And Cornell could wail something fierce back then... too bad he seems to have lost his voice now. Saw an Audioslave live video, he sounded like he was struggling the entire show.
2 - Alice in Chains - Cantrell's guitar tone one of the ballsiest, saturated sounds I've heard. Some badass riffs, too. Love the vocal harmonies and the dark, brooding mood they creat.
3 - Pearl Jam - Nothing special, just some great rocking tunes.
4 - Nirvana - I got turned off to them due of over-exposure. Cobain's a decent songwriter, but way way WAY overrated as a guitar player. Too many 15 year-olds just picking up the guitar, labeling Cobain as the best player ever... the man played nothing but power chords and piss-easy melodies. At least the other three bands' players had chops.
