Yup and I've been talking about modern rock vocals, not opera.

The irony is Myles Kennedy is a better guitarist than Tremonti.

As for Chester killing himself.. He did it on Cornell's birthday. He and Chris were close friends.. I think Chris killing himself really did more damage than he let on..

Yeah sadly it took him one step closer to the edge and he was about to break.

Bob Seger as well.
Have always liked Pearl Jam. Professional, enduring, respectable band.

Pearl Jam, Nirvana, AiC, and Soundgarden basically changed music forever in the late 80s early 90s. It was a music revolution that brought us out of the shitty 80s gay hair band and boy gorge pop era. Anyone comparing these music powerhouses to shit tier bands like linkin park needs help.

Alice in Chains is the only band of the four you listed that isn't overrated garbage.

The best thing about Nirvana was that Cobain killed himself and everyone got to see that Grohl was all the talent behind that band. Foo Fighters are easily better than anything Nirvana accomplished and his contributions to Queens of the Stone Age produced one of the best records of the last decade (Songs for the Deaf). I love A&C and even like their newer stuff, but its not as good as when Staley was around, for certain.
Soundgarden and Pearl Jam were industry changing bands, though. Its easy to forget how everything was overproduced hip hop garbage for a long time until those two bands opened the door for actual independent bands again. Nirvana might have openned the door for grunge, but they were still pretty much a creature of the music industry at the time. PJ and SG pretty much paved the way for indie acts to reach more people and made rock more important than pop again. I would probably lump Tool in with them on that front, too. Calling them shit is basically being the same kind of edge lord who disses on the Beatles. Sure there have been better musicians, but they changed the craft for a long time and influenced a lot of bands down the road.

Alice in Chains' last album was their self-titled.
Also Jerry's solo stuff isn't half bad.
As for the bullshit that is parading itself as Alice in Chains today, they really should've come up with a new name.

Youre simply wrong dude. Look, I dont really ride on the Pearl Jam bandwagon either, but without a doubt, they had a huge impact on music in early 90s. All those seattle bands did, but the biggest being Alice, Nirvana, Soundgarden. Smashing Pumpkins were no where near as popular.
People shit on Cobain too, but I remember the day I first heard Teen Spirit to this day and was like OMG, WTF is this shit!!! It was 1991, the year graduated. Fuckers released 3 full albums and sold over 75 million records worldwide. One of the best selling of all time.
Fuck, dude I remember the entire scene changed fashion too overnight. It was crazy. People all of a sudden started wearing flannels and baggy shorts, lol.
