Grunge (followed by a close second, shoegaze), is my favorite genre. Alice in Chains is my favorite band. Anyone else love this type of music?

Alice In Chains is my favorite grunge act, for certain.

I really liked it even though grunge did not happen until I was over 30. It combined the 70's hard rock/metal I grew on with the punk of my young adulthood

Since this is an Autism forum I have to start with Hole - Teenage Whore

Pixies - Velouria

My favorite song of the '90's L7 - Pretend We're Dead

L7 - Andres

Thanks. A friend and I got into them in high school (mid 90s), though I probably first saw the name in 6th grade from reading a Nirvana biography.

My favorite song from them is P.C.C. That one just rocks.

What do you make of the post-Staley era alice in chains? I think it's remarkable how they still retain that same ephemeral stick of dynamite within each track, I'm glad they found Duvall.

I don't listen to much of the new AIC stuff. I feel a bit ambivalent about it. It still has the distinctive harmonies from the Staley era, but feels a lot more polished. Still leaps and bounds better than typical rock found today, though.

I always liked AIC. For some reason though it seemed like, after a quick constellation of bands in the early to mid 90's, exploration of this sound seemed to just dry up or at least the gate-keepers of the music industry were interested in pushing it out the revolving door.

I'm not sure how much you'd consider Soundgarden to be in the grunge camp. It was a trip to hear a few of their older tunes like Rusty Cage on the radio a few years back; I think at that age I might have been a bit too young (or perhaps a bit naive/innocent) to realize just how well their put together their stuff was in the psychedelic sense.

Soundgarden is a close second in my list. The guitar work and vocals are amazing. Absolutely love their stuff, especially the earlier stuff. I saw them in concert a couple years ago; still a great band.

Other than Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and a bit of Soundgarden, I haven't really listened to a whole lot of grunge. What bands should I check out if I want to branch out?

Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Screaming Trees; all really great bands that were part of the grunge movement before it became overly commercialized and stale.
