Nirvana is the only band I like out of most of the bands being mentioned so I’m gonna go with them.
But honestly, I hate the term “grunge” and don’t even know why these bands are grouped together other than geography.
Nirvana is like an alt/punk band.
AIC & Soundgarden are hard rock bands.
Pearl Jam is like a rock band with some obvious 70s rock inspiration.

I agree - "grunge" as a term is more of a reaction term - to describe hard rock that rejects the excesses of hair metal of the late 80s, early 90s.
The genre is supposed to eschew guitar solos, but most of the traditional "grunge" acts have some degree of soloing.
They're supposed to wear flannel and jeans (I guess that is fashion in the Pacific NW), and I guess that is subjective - certainly the Seattle bands did that to some degree.
For that matter there is little to distinguish the traditional "Seattle" sound "grunge" acts, from contemporaries such as RHCP and RATM - musically. RHCP is more funk based and RATM has a rapper frontman, but musically - very consistent with AIC, Soundgarden, PJ, Nirvana, etc.
