Best band of the "Seattle Grunge Scene" In your opinion.

I have to go with Alice in Chains. That vocal harmony between Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell was a thing of beauty. Lyrical content was solid music wasn't a banging power chord.

I'm actually reading the book Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge and the entire genre is absolutely fascinating.
It's amazing how many great bands never took off because of drug abuse, internal conflict, and apathy. Bands swapped members like sex partners at an orgy.
What's also pretty interesting is how arrogant some of these guys were regarding their music. I have read about at least five or so bands who claimed to be the best Seattle band of the era.

No doubt Alice in Chains. Early Pearl Jam.
Saw Sondgarden open for GNR in the early 90's and they were atrocious live.

By the way, are we talking longevity or creative peak?
I will confess that I have still never fully gotten into Nirvana so I will omit them due to my unfamiliarity.
If we are talking peak then a couple of the side project/super groups would be my favorites:
1. Temple of the Dog (the best guitar player from the scene, McCready, paired with the best vocalist, Cornell, is just sheer perfection)
2. Mad Season (the most interesting sounding album to ever emerge from Seattle, I love the jazz elements)
3. Alice in Chains (Dirt is the Downward Spiral of grunge; one of the darkest albums ever)
4. Pearl Jam (that debut is probably the most commercially accessible to ever be released by a Seattle group)
5. Soundgarden (in my opinion they just never could string together a full album, but they still had some bright spots that were much more powerful and epic than everyone else)
If we're talking consistency:
1. Alice in Chains
2. Soundgarden
3. Pearl Jam
4. The Melvins (better live act than studio performers)
5. Mudhoney

Soundgarden. Badmotorfinger and Superunknown are classics.

Pearl Jam was and still is my favorite. They just continue to pump out innovative music over 20 years after hitting the scene. In fact, "Sirens" may be my favorite track by them.

AIC and I actually like their last two albums the best...
Posted on 8/5/15 at 8:40 pm to SEClint
AIC is the only answer IMO.

Pearl Jam
I like their range
Slower song: Black, Long Road, Wishlist, All or None, Off He Goes, Indifference, Slight of Hand, Pendulum
Rockers: Habit, Lukin, Corduroy, Grievance, Animal, Go, Life Waster, Not for You, Save You
Epics: Daughter, Betterman
Fun Cover: I Believe in Miracles, Sonic Reducer, It's OK, I Got You
Yes, I have many, many bootlegs.

Because of their commercial success, and the dark tone of their music, Nirvana never gets the credit they deserve as the pioneers of the return to prominence of rock music in the 90's.
They are easily the most misunderstood rock band of all time. If you play any of their records, their music is 100% pure rock n' roll, and their sound is still as fresh today as it was the day it was recorded. Only a few bands have such a timelessness.
Nirvana is easily the best band of the Seattle Grunge movement.
