I was never that big a fan of Nirvana for whatever reason.

I prefer Alice in Chains.

I'm with you about AIC over Nirvana. Shame about Layne Staley in his later years though, according to this article....

Recording Layne’s vocals was difficult because of the loss of his teeth, which resulted in a lisp that affected his speech and singing ability. Consequently, they tried to stay away from lyrics that accentuated his lisp. “It was kind of hard to do that, because it shows up pretty much everywhere on those tracks. But it was easy for me because Layne and I got along really well. So I didn’t have any problem with him at all. It was just a matter of getting him into the studio, having him sit down and get creative.”

It’s the difference between “punk” and “metal,” generally. Nirvana’s sound was raw and repetitive while AiC was loud and complex. I was a big fan of both. Cobain’s lyrics were cryptic while Layne’s were in-your-face.

It’s tragic we lost both to the same demon, but I’m glad that Dave Grohl and Jerry Cantrell are still out there rocking.
