AIC, and not even that close for me

The most consistent, for sure.

 

and IMO they had the best vocalist.

 

just me.

 

Mick

 

Jerry Cantrell's a fair singer, but Krist Novesellic's rendition of "Get Together" on Nevermind is transcendent.

 

;)

I think he's talking about Layne Staley not Cantrell.

If we're going to talk consistency of the first 5 albums of a band (I'm counting Facelift as the first album and SAP and Jar of Flies (by far their most consistent album) as albums: I rank the bands's consistency as this:

Smashing Pumpkins

 

Pearl Jam

 

 

 

AiC

 

 

STP

Nirvana (tough to judge with one piece of shit, one stone cold classic, and one excellent rock record)

 

 

 

 

Soundgarden

Pearl Jam.

 

Ten is the best album of the early nineties and Eddie Vedder is hands down my favourite vocalist of all these bands.

Soundgarden although I'd listen to any of these on a given day.

 

Check that, Nirvana...one of the most overrated bands ever. There I said it.

Yeah, that took some balls, especially on this forum.

Even Cobain was quoted that they were trying to rip off The Pixies...who were far more accomplished and interesting to listen to.

I don't know about that. Nirvana packed alot more than a Pixies influence into their albums. To Cobain's credit he was very humble and gave credit to all his influences.

Nevermind isn't anywhere close to the best album in the combined discographies of these bands.

 

it's great but not anywhere close to the best

Side 2 is too samey. Side 1 is too overplayed and overrated (seriously, they're pretty much just some catchy pop punk tunes with an edge). If you don't live under a rock, listen to Drain You and Something In The Way, then you don't really need to hear the album in full. And really you could drop Drain You.

What's wrong with catchy pop punk tunes with an edge? They've not overstuffed over produced rock songs?

Nothing wrong, but not as special as Rolling Stone would have folks believe.
