1. Alice in Chains
2. Pearl Jam
3. Nirvana
4. Soundgarden

Pearl Jam was one of the bands that got me into music in general when I was in middle school. Based on that, I put them at 1. Doesn't mean I think they were better; it just makes them my personal favorite out of this group.

Mudhoney
Nirvana
Alice in Chains
Screaming Trees
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
I like punk a lot more than metal, which is reflected in my rankings. Soundgarden is the only Seattle band I honestly don't like that much.

I'd have ranked Mudhoney right after Nirvana... and MAYBE the Young Fresh Fellows over all of them on the right day...
The one that makes my skin crawl is AIC... so gross!

Sap and Dirt are so great. AIC was one of the first bands my metal friends liked that I also liked... well, aside from Suicidal Tendencies and Anthrax.

I always thought Nirvana, especially on Bleach, had a healthy dose of Metal... in the Sabbath way (I wont dare try to categorize sub genres of metal, I would be wayyyy out of my element)..
I dunno, to me AICs sounds was so, well gross is the only word...
Mind you at the time of all this, I was way more in to what was going on, on the east coast... Superchunk, Dinosaur, Sebadoh, Fugazi, Sonic Youth, etc.

Well, clearly the grunge bands were influenced by both punk and metal. AIC and Soundgarden tilted more metal, Mudhoney and Nirvana more punk. Pearl Jam was straight up arena rock. I was a DC guy, so I was definitely into all the Dischord stuff at the time, but I also love SST Records. So I got into Sub Pop through Soundgarden, who was an SST band (when SST was going through its death throes). I viewed Sub Pop as the heirs to the SST legacy at the time.
And rock needed some killing. People who didn't live through the 80s cannot imagine how awful and prevalent the scourge of hair metal was. You couldn't throw a rock without hitting a guy in spandex, fingertapping a guitar in between applications of AquaNet.
Nevermind sounds "clean" now, but at the time, it sounded dirt and scuzzy. When you're used to Def Leppard's million dollar recordings, the standard of "low production values" is rather lenient. Listening to old late 80s/early 90s alt-rock, it's amazing how records that we thought were so dingy now sound so pristine. Like Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Man, if only they had come out 3 years later.
