My Favorite Grunge Bands Growing Up

I’m not sure how I was introduced to grunge music, but it’s all I listened to growing up starting at around age 12. The following in order are my favorite bands.

  1. Soundgarden
  2. Alice in Chains
  3. Stone Temple Pilots
  4. Temple of the Dog
  5. Audioslave
  6. Pearl Jam
  7. Nirvana

Three of my top five have Chris Cornell as lead. His voice is amazing. Alice in Chains is a close second. Lane Staley is on another level. Their MTV Unplugged album is spectacular. STP third because I listened to the Core about a million times. Pearl Jam and Nirvana were my least favorite. Maybe because they were more popular and played out in my mind. Sadly, four of the five singers have passed away.
