    Godsmack is more alternative metal and post-grunge, not grunge by defintion. But I know what you're getting at. "Alternative" and "grunge" was kinda considered one in the same. (And all the artists kept rejecting the labels then)

    Too hard to name the best, only some faves. No order

    - STP: Big Empty
    - Bush: Alien
    - Sponge: Plowed
    etc.


    If Pearl Jam "Yellow Ledbetter" had even ONE understandable lyric, it'd be one of the best songs ever. I'd bet its pretty much Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, all the true Seattle grunge"bands and a little STP filling out the top 20

    These are fun because "best" is so easy to agree upon and define.

    I'll play. Outshined - Soundgarden.

    Not really sure it is the best, just participating. I do like it though.

    I personally like Plowed by Sponge. That rotting pinata album is pretty good.

    Anyone remember a song with loud grungy guitars, then a sudden pause for unaccompanied vocals, that simply was just "Yeah!"? That sequence was repeated a few times. I think that was the chorus?

    If we're going to talk Grunge in the strict sense, I agree. I was trying to pick my favorite, but just gave up.

    Their subpop channel has a nice selection on youtube, for interested parties.

    Here's one from the self-titled album:

    black??? :confused:

    What is grunge? Is it "Smells like Teen Spirit"? :( I'm Mexican. I don't know.
    Dona't know if this is what you were looking for, but this always got me pumped up in EA's FIFA 1998 for the PS2 with its screaming and all-out guitars, drums, and unintelligible lyrics I only learned until I read them on YouTube 10 years later :cool: :

    Yeh-yeah!

    When I think of grunge the first songs that come to mind are "Man in a Box", "Outshined", and "Smells like Teen Spirit".
