PJ is obviously my favourite and I would list them in this order:
1.Pearl Jam
2.Soundgarden
3.Alice in Chains
4.Stone Temple Pilots
5.Nirvana
there were bands such as Mudhoney, Green River (members of Pearl Jam and Mudhoney) and Sonic Youth that are more like the "grunge" sound but these were the five big bands of the era not including bands such as Jane's Addiction. Pearl Jam is insanely talented the drummer can sing as can the rhythm guitarist and three guys who can play guitar including two who play lead although most of that falls to Mike McCready. Eddie could easily take Stone's place playing rhythm and all members contribute to songwriting.
Soundgarden were fantastic any band with Chris Cornell and Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron (now drumming for PJ) has to be great. AIC had those fantastic harmonies between Layne and Jerry and songs about addiction and depression that touched your soul.
