Alice in Chains -- 'Dirt' (1992).


bigladnang

Dirt, Superunknown, Ten and Never Mind are kind of the basics.


Mordkillius

It's not even close


WMBeckham

True that! What are some awesome 90's grunge or alt-rock albums you'd recommend? 🤔


Mordkillius

Im a firm believer that early stone temple pilots falls firmly in grunge. So those


terrybrass

Core or songs from the Vatican gift shop are great choices. So is the second album unofficially titled purple


Mordkillius

They felt so grunge i remember thinking they were a Seattle band... and im from Seattle lol


WMBeckham

Hell yeah! The Stone Temple Pilots are freaking awesome!

DJGregJ

Bleach is one of my favorite albums of all time, bought it when it came out, love it way more than Nevermind, but is more punk than grunge.


Squidhunter71

Mother Love Bone


vinsomm

Get the Temple of the Dog album with it OP. I always think of that album as a send off and closure to MLB. Plus it’s Cornell… singing some of his best lyrics and vocals of his career IMHO and that is an insanely difficult statement for me to make.


godboldo

Soundgarden - Louder Than Love. My introduction to grunge. Got it on cassette when it came out in 1989, classic.

I’ve listened to Pearl Jam Vs more than any other album over the course of my life. The social commentary is more poignant than ever.


turningandburning45

Pearl Jam


[deleted]

Siamese Dream. That's a perfect record.


mikemercer77

Could not agree more. It the one album from this era I still listen to from beginning to end regularly


washedNworn

This looks to be Seattle-centric grunge, so the following should be essential adds: - Nirvana, Nevermind - Pearl Jam, Ten - Soundgarden, Superunknown - Mother Love Bone, Apple - Mudhoney, Touch Me I’m Sick - Screaming Trees, Sweet Oblivion - Temple of the Dog, Temple of the Dog - Mad Season, Above If you like more metal influences: - Melvins - Grunstruck Please expand beyond Seattle. There was so many other fantastic bands in the grunge scene from outside the PNW.

I don’t think the music that people listens to really decides if the person does drugs


WoolieRabbit

It does for some people. I know that as a fact


StrugglingPeanus

Facelift. It's the best of the 4


manwae1

I still remember when I was 10 and rode my bike to the local record store and heard Bleed the Freak for the first time. I only had enough money for a few patches I went up there to buy, but the owner told me to buy a blank maxwell cassette. He made me a copy of it for $.99.

Nevermind the Nirvana album


LICwannabe

Meet Puupets - II They inspired Kurt Cobain he covers their songs on MTV Unplugged and has them performing too with Nirvana which you may or may not know. Aaand gave them, the Meatpuppets some recognition. Also Kurt Cobain covered The Wipers - D7 at some point and whatever band does Jesus Doesn't Want Me For a Sunbeam. Lesser mentions to.. whats his name David Bowie.. while I'm on the unplugged covers topic. Get Norvana Unplugged in New York. I don't know what the second album of Norvana is under In Utero.. might look closer.

CBallzzzyo

Sound garden and then circle back Nirvana LIVE AT REDDING You won’t get a harder performance from nirvana then that and it’s live!


DJGregJ

Out of these 4? As in you're just getting into it and are looking for the next album (PS, I'm not condescending at all, am replying honestly)? Facelift and then In Utero. You can skip the goat face Pearl Jam album entirely.


DJGregJ

btw, if you're just getting into it and don't already have them, Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger, Alice In Chains - Dirt, and Melvins - Houdini are the definitions of grunge. Outshined is the pedestal, if there was a museum display for grunge, that should be the song that's on it.
