Ah... Yeah, I'm sure I've heard it countless times.
I mean I've heard the name, and I don't know their music to comment on, it's just not what I was listening to back then.
I'd rank the big 5 this way:
1. AIC
2. Soundgarden
3. Pearl Jam
4. Nirvana
5. STP

Rooster might be the best song to come out of the grunge era.
1. Soundgarden
2. Nirvana
3. Screaming Trees
The others don't register...haven't listened to a PJ or AIC song "on purpose" in 20 years. STP is terrible.

Grill some 36 ounce steaks, drive a Porche at reckless speeds, squeeze off a few rounds? I think we all know exactly how you’re going to spend your week off, doc.
Those are fun, just trying to mix it up a little before the next lockdown.
STP is terrible?
How about YOU'RE terrible, rudd?

Toad the Wet Sprocket still very near and dear to my heart tbh.
[laughing] Pretty much. I’ll add:
- Bourbon hunt
- Send randomass text messages in the early morning hours alluding to 80s/90s pop culture for no reason
-stp is/was the carly rae jepsen of the "seattle scene". They have more in common with creed/nickleback than they do with the others mentioned.
I mean, I could understand going to an STP show could be terrible with Weiland all doped out...but when lucid they made some great tunes. Saw them 3 times, only once was bad.
Should be a regular in the South Carolina Gamecock stadium rotation tbh
IF you need to ease your way into some AIC, id suggest this:
Have to have Thumper and the Plaid Rabbits in the Top 5
Last time I saw those dudes the leader singer was a sweaty mess. Time finally catching up.
Just saw where a reporter asked Sturgill if he thought about attending the CMAs. He scoffed and referred to it as a "tacky *** glitter and Botox, cake and cock pony show.”

I think Sturgill is kind of a phony-*** *****.
AIC is the best of the Seattle bands. Anyone that disagrees with that, doesn’t know their ******* from their elbow.
Carry on

- Anth's AIC take is making me feel better about my Friday 5's. Speaking of, Nirvana had more societal importance but AIC was superior in almost every way.
- Dave Grohl is like everyone's cool uncle. A modern day Lemmy if you will.
- Apparently jokingly asking why Corona virus didn't disappear on November 4th wasn't the play with the hens at work. Funny thing is that both slants parroted that crap for different reasons.
- Trying to temper my enthusiasm for UK basketball after the early football returns. Don't care if we don't win again this year, that UT game was an all timer.
FRIDAY 5
Transient - Makari
Dead Rose - Unprocessed
GOAT - Polyphia
Get Got - Death Grips
Spanish Bay - Strawberry Girls

Good call. I’d have Soundgarden at 1, though, based on pure talent. STP may have been my favorite, but hard to elevate them over PJ and Nirvana in thegrand scheme of things.
“Man In The Box” would have been my walk-up music if I was in the Show.
Potential hot take Inc. Grunges big 4 was better than metals. Metallica is better than all of them but is carrying a ton of water for slayer and anthrax. Megadeth gets respect knucks for its early catalog but is approaching acdc territory by coming out with the same album multiple times over the past two decades.
At this point I'm just assuming you all are on a secret text thread conspiring to make up fake band names. No way some of these are real.
Sounds like he rattled the cake and cock crowd.
Erlanger, why would you want to go there? Elsmere's big, but still ugly sister.
My grandparents house was just off Stevenson Rd and they always had choice cuts in their home from Gramer's. Place is great.
Edit: **** off Cat Scratch

Not sure you can say anything about grunge and not include Smells Like Teen Spirit...it effectively started the era.
Post Malone’s Nirvana concert was literally the best musical thing of 2020, IMO.

I stole this from somebody else, but I think it's why AIC is in a different tier to me than all the others....
It's the vocal harmonies man. It just added a different sound, and they really were way groovier and harder than "the rest". The rest of the bands all end up sounding very similar at times. Nobody sounded like Layne and Cantrell.
