Perhaps that is why Nirvana never appealed to me in any manner whatsoever. I just couldn't stand Eddie Vedder....lol....but they were better than Nirvana, NIN, STP, AiC, Soundgarden, RHCP, Tool, Primus, Jane's Addiction, I mean SO MANY bands from that era were just better. I just never understood it.
FWIW, I hold AiC in high esteem, because I caught them in Louisville not long before Layne Staley passsed away. They were one of the best live acts I've ever seen.
I feel ya, but I just have an eclectic taste in music. I'm also not generally into most pop music, although I guess the more popular Nirvana tunes were just heavily distorted ear candy. I used to find their music interesting because of the variety of it. Saying no 2 Nirvana tunes sounded alike might be a bit strong, but there was definitely variety.
I love Pearl Jam. Not a fan of Vedder's spiel, but love his voice. Plus - unlike Nirvana - I find myself listening to each individual instrument rather than just the song if that makes sense. Loved the first 5 albums, but they started to lose me after Yield (which was a fine effort btw).
Also loved STP. Those guys put out entire albums that rocked all the way through.
7 Mary 3 was a good one we haven't mentioned. Also was a big fan of Live.
