For my money - Tool and AIC are probably at the top.

Alice in Chains would more than likely have topped the list if Staley had not died and if there wasn't that late '90s hiatus.

Tool

One of my absolute favorites, but mainstream accessibility has to count for something here.

quote:

Nirvana

Is their body of work really enough to justify such a title?

quote:

Soundgarden

---

Aside from Badmotorfinger, they have had two good albums (Louder Than Love & Superunknown), and then several average albums.

Foo Fighters

---

One of the more talented bands out there but I just don't consider any of them to be good songwriters.

RHCP

If Frusciante stays with them during the entirety of the past three decades, then perhaps so.

quote:

Pearl Jam

Vedder's own desire to never become popular has hurt this band as much as anything.

quote:

Smashing Pumpkins

Their longevity is far too lacking compared to some of the other bands.
