Maybe I'm unsure of the criteria. Feel free to clarify

1. - Soundgarden (although I consider Badmotorfinger to be all Metal)

2. - Sometime Sunday (highly underrated heavy grunge band)

3. - Pearl Jam (Guilty pleasure. They know how (or did) to write good catchy jam songs

4. - Temple Of The Dog (the best one and done I've ever heard)

5. - 4 Non Blondes (ditto)

For me, I'd say Nirvana and Soul Asylum.
If Soundgarden are "alt/rock" (I always considered'em pretty metal) then throw 'em on too.

I've mentioned quite a few times my fave post-grunge bands from the mid 90's, but one more time...

Only Living Witness
New Idol Sun
Sugartooth
Mental Hippie Blood
Non-Fiction
Karma to Burn
Chum
Mindfunk (the "Dropped" album only, their s/t is straight metal. In fact all these albums verge on metal. But what do you expect from me?)

Why not? Alt-rock is something of a catch-all, as you can see by all the different styles of music people these bands are. =)

All those bands are Alt/Rock just because they're mainstream has no affect on the music they play. BB borders metal.


So does that mean Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Soundgarden are Mainstream Rock as well? Just because they are popular bands doesnt mean they dont fall into that genre..

Some good calls there with Trees, Sugar and The Connells.

And I'll add a really, really obscure one.

Swimming Pool Qs

Recently snagged their album Blue Tomorrow on CD off ebay.
