Alice in Chains vs. Soundgarden

If you had to choose one of these two great, influential bands, who would you choose? Saying who's a greater band isn't really what I'm looking for, more of a if you were stranded on an island in the middle of the Pacific and were offered the complete works of either Alice in Chains or Soundgarden, (with an Ipod to come with either lol) which would you pick?

Alice n Changes....They could have been one of the GOATs had Layne Staley lived.

Soundgarden easily

Alice in Chains
It's strange to see old Seattle and N.W. concert posters from the late 80's and early 90's where many of these bands who later would become famous were playing together

I like both but if I had to choose one it would be AIC.

Chains. They're better than Nirvana IMO

The best of AIC is better than the best of Soundgarden.
However, Soundgarden are all still alive (only half of the classic AIC lineup is) - and the breadth of the work makes up for the very top end.
(But Nutshell is one of my favorite songs of the past 20 years).

I love both, but I would give the edge to Alice in Chains too.

Soundgarden.
Outshined would be my desert island song.
A desert island with only AIC would end in suicide every time.

Alice in Chains ended on a high note, whereas I would argue that Soundgarden managed to get progressively worse with each subsequent album (starting with Badmotorfinger, the band's apex).
If Soundgarden would have further embraced their Louder than Love era sound more, they probably would have had a more reputable reputation among hard rock fans. They just started to sound so watered down towards the end.

If you like heavy music and you don't dig classic Alice In Chains, to me, you're not a trustworthy human being.
Sap; Dirt; Jar of Flies....all masterpieces.
I never had a problem with Soundgarden other than the fact that they kind of became bloated as they got more popular.

Posted on 1/30/15 at 8:28 pm to SaintlyTiger88
Soundgarden

Soundgarden was a really good band with a great singer & decent songs but they were extremely boring live. I had all of their albums but they never did it for me live after seeing them twice.
Alice in Chains is one of the most underrated rock bands of all time. There was nobody else who could duplicate Layne Staley's voice & their songs were so dark & haunting. They actually moved you. Facelift & Dirt are two completely different albums that were both amazing. You could feel Layne's drug issues especially in the lyrics on Dirt & it hit you like a hammer while listening. I really wish I could have seen them live.
If you haven't read about the last days of Layne Staley you should. He weighed under 100 pounds when he was found dead(He was over 6ft) & had been dead for over 2 weeks in his condo when he was found. Very sad that he just could not beat heroin.
