Psh, Pearl Jam wasn't even part of the initial wave of Seattle-based bands.
Mud Honey, Green River, Screaming Trees, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Melvins, Mother Love Bone, and a slew of other bands had already released LPs before Pearl Jam was even formed.
Most of those bands paved the way for the commercial success of releases such as Ten. Pearl Jam is a good and iconic band, but they are hardly trendsetters or revolutionaries when it comes to forging a new sound.

Most of the bands in this thread don't really sound alike... Grunge was just a name put on a local music scene that was exploding at the time... not sound IMO..

If Andy Wood doesn't OD, Pearl jam is never formed.

Sure they are. 4 of their members were in 4 of the bands that you mentioned.
The Alive riff is synonymous with Grunge or Seattle music.

Well, Bruce Pavitt. He coined the term ino rder to sell more Sub Pop records of Mudhoney. Since the term was literally coined to describe a Mudhoney record by the very people putting it out and trying to sell it.
The Melvins did inspire the scene, along with the U-Men, so they get some bonus credit, much like Iggy and the Stooges and MC5 do for fostering punk before there was such a thing.
Pixies, while a great band, is a terrible answer.

You just proved my point. If not for the disbandment of Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam never exists.
Just because "Alive" sounds synonymous with grunge in your opinion, doesn't mean Pearl Jam created the sound or style.
Yes, the majority of their members, sans Vedder, were involved with the scene for several years, but that doesn't change the fact that Pearl Jam arrived late to an already well-established scene.

Have never been grunge. Have never been linked to grunge. Are not whatsoever part of the Seattle music scene.
Bands like The Minutemen share a greater bond with subsequent bands from the Pacific Northwest than The Pixies.

Tad and Love Battery never get any love in these "grunge" threads...
not implying they created the sound though...

He said "Grunge". Thats the commercial term. That was Nirvana, AIC, Soungarden, and PJ ARE "grunge". When it blew up and became known to all of us? Maybe you were that extra cool dude who had the "sub pop" cassette? Maybe you knew all of these bands in 1989-91? By the time the sound made it to SETX, it was 1991 and it was Smells Like Teen Spirit which made everyone run to stores and look for that genre.

We will just disagree here. Those 4 guys were meshed into the scene. Wood died. the pieces formed a band that became PJ. Vedder's vocals are what were foreign. The BAND was new, but the sound was not. Those 4 guys are as much a part of the sound as any band you mention.
I can't imagine how many different variations of 40-50 musicians there were in Seattle in the late 80's to 1991?
