Just a few of my favorites, not super well versed in this however (born in 97) and looking for some suggestions!

AIC - Don’t Follow
One of me and my mom’s all time favorites, ended up using it as one of the background songs for her funeral picture slideshow. The raw vocal Layne finishes the song with gives me chills every time I listen

Pearl Jam - Release
Another favorite of ours, as simple as they are I find Eddie’s lyrics incredibly deep.

Chris Cornell - I Am the Highway
*I know this is post grunge but I couldn’t have a post with 2 of the great vocalists of the time and not include the 3rd*
One of my favorite CC songs and IMO one of the best examples of his depth as a songwriter.

Stone Temple Pilots - Silvergun Superman

Alice in Chains - Got Me Wrong

Days of the New - Touch, Peel, Stand


These were not "deep" cuts but a newbie to grunge might like them

Bham's Brother Cane - And Fools Shine On

This absolutely could have been an AIC song

If you haven't already, you should check out most of Temple of the Dog's catalog.

Temple of the Dog.

I'd also take a listen to the Screaming trees and Soul Asylum

Pearl Jam - Release



Not only is this PJ's best song, it's one of the best songs ever written. on PJ20 they explain how he just started singing this on the spot, and they were all blown away. He was singing it about his dad that he never met (or barely knew? I don't remember). Such a strong song.

1000% yes. Love that entire project
Haven’t listened to Say Hello 2 Heaven in probably over a year but it just went straight to the top of my drive home playlist, thank you!

He had met him a couple of times, but never knew it was his father until after he had died. He was raised thinking that his stepfather was actually his biological father.

Was at 92 lollapalooza with pearl jam and soundgarden on the bill. Everyone was hoping they'd do a couple of T.O.D. songs.

Either Pearl Jam Release

Or


Nirvana's last recorded song before Kurt's death
You Know You're Right

I love the grittiness of his voice in the chorus vs the tone of the verses.

damn baw!!

Was coming here to post this.

Saw then at least 3x for free at Emos in Houston because the bartender there had a crush on the lead singer and got them to keep coming coming back.


Here's a pic of me from the early 90s rocking a t-shirt from one of the shows.
