You forgot Alice in Chains. They were the best of the Seattle bands and grudge metal bands, imo.
The lead singer had issues, no doubt, but of all the bands from that era, AIC is by far my favorite.
Yes, I loved Alice in Chains (well the rock band, anyhow). There were others.
Alice In Chains was always my favorite of that Seattle bunch. They still remain awesome. Jerry Cantrell is one of the musicians I respect the most. His solo albums were awesome and the latest Alice in Chains releases don’t disappoint at all.
