Meshuggah
Tool

Too hard to pick a third. So much great music out there. Very much like some of the hand picked bands that Steve Vai and Virgil Donati have put together too but they are not traditional "groups" that stay together for years on end.

I just listen to music that I like. I usually never got so into a particular artist or band, that I would listen to every album/track they ever made.

Except for the rap group Eightball & MJG.

Otherwise I just enjoy good music.

Status Quo

Odd that you list PJ, too, the band that ripped off your fave.

Meh, don't see it that way. But understand what you mean.
Some bad ass music STP!!!

STP was my clear favorite in the grunge era.

STP was my clear favorite in the grunge era.

STP is very unique because they are a hard rock group. Not metal, not pop or rock, but hard rock. Good guitars, but not screaming loud never ending solo's that take over. Weiland's vocals before he fucked it all up were just so "manly" I always found.

A song like "meatplow" would be epic to hear at a strip club. Fuckin' awesome tune that is...

coming outta Seattle

Layne Staley.....fucking guy went out HARD. Discovered 2 weeks later as a rotting heroin injected corpse in his Seattle apartment. Fucking rock n roll

greeneyes · « **Reply #83 on:** February 12, 2015, 03:48:32 PM »

Cream
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Nirvana

I know that Nirvana is probably not a musically great bands but they had their riffs and I dig them. I would probably add Led Zeppelin and Soundgarden to the list.
A song to listen to in the gym

Grungers meant that shit: Andrew Wood, two from Chains, Cobain with the head shot; they weren't pretending.

I've heard this. Must be daily black clouds and downpours every fucking day in Norway/Sweden. My God those dudes are dark.

Their under rated song.

Ronnie Rep · « **Reply #89 on:** February 13, 2015, 05:00:21 AM »

Forgot Jimi Hendrix Experience, Of all the Seattle bands Alice in Chains by far.

WoogsRaven · « **Reply #90 on:** February 13, 2015, 07:07:22 AM »

Alice in Chains and Soundgarden during the grunge era.

Soundgarden's music still holds up today. Chris Cornell has one of the best voices I've ever heard.

Grape Ape · « **Reply #91 on:** February 13, 2015, 07:27:32 AM »

Agree on AIC...one of my favorites ever, along with Pantera. But when you talk all time, I think it's hard to dispute the bands that had the longevity and sheer amount of good music like The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Led Zep, U2, etc.......

Zeppelin
The Outlaws
Thin lizzy

Best live band: The Outlaws

Nothing is as good as this:

Outlaws are awesome, I got their live album with the Columbia house record club back in 1981.. Ha ha.. Im old...

visualizeperfection · « **Reply #93 on:** February 13, 2015, 09:51:24 AM »

Alice in Chain certainly deserves special mention; facelift, dirt, and about half of jar of flies are great even amazing albums. They simply didnt have the longevity or number of amazing releases some of the more legendary bands produced.

I listen to facelift nearly every day... Sunshine gets me every time.

1) take the "s" out of "https".

2) Click the button marked "Youtube"

3) then put the url between "(youtube][/youtube)"

(I had to change the square bracket to round or it wouldn't post.)

Great record. "We Die Young" and "Bleed the Freak" for me, both f'n crush. "Private Hell" from BGWtB with Duvall is haunting as fuck, love that song; reminiscent of "Down in a Hole" to a degree. "Your Decision" from the same record, too, Cantrell on vocals.

Legendary band for sure, but I'm still 1) Pearl Jam and 2) Soundgarden for 90s Seattle. Nirvana never did shit for me.

Nirvana was never my things. Jam was cool, Soundgarden had some great songs. AIC is the pinnacle of 90's seattle though for sure in my book.

Keep in mind I am listening these 20+ years later... I was a wee lad when the bands were in their prime.
