I mean, AIC members roadied for Kyuss for a minute.But, Kyuss owns too.
The distinction here lies in the purpose. Some guys are playing there stuff until there day comes, other are seeing what day it is and jumping on the train. If you ears can't tell the difference you should try listening more carefully.
I actually have no idea what style AIC plays. But the fact that they roadied just shows how much work they were willing to put into it. You honestly think they couldn't at any second dumb down there music and make way more money. I and my ears appreciate talent, that's why AIC is superior.
I understand what you are saying, completely.
But there are two sides of that coin, dumb down=simple, simple music has it's place, and yes Nirvana is VERY simple, and that's one of the reasons I liked them.
AIC played a mix of simple and highly interwoven complex and distorted music, which has it's place as well.
I have an ear for both, and I like and appreciate both styles.
Are we seriously trying to debate who is better when it's all opinion?
I have every album of both AIC and Nirvana AND Kyuss and screaming trees.....I like it all.
But I have a more solid connection with Kurt's style of "singing".
ACDC owns you, don't deny it....wait....
Pantera vs ACDC rip dime bag 🙁

Yes there are two sides to that coin and one of them is very ugly. It's simply a crime to like crappy music. Alot of my friends are in the music world and I too have been in it at some time. You meet band after band with talent that pompus so called highly eductated musicians wish they could have, who play day after day gig after gig and are reduced to begging for food (literally I've seen this more than once from signed and unsigned bands alike.) And instead you have this clown who learned two cords last week and is living like a sultan because people will listen to whatever they're told to listen to.
Being a passionless music whore is a crime.
AC/DC's always cool.
You really think I'd rip Dime Bag? I'm always ****ing metal! I can honestly say if you ripped on Dime Bag in front of me I would without any hesitation break your sorry face. And I dare any sorry Nirvana loving wuss to do the same after I piss on Kobain's grave.

Huh? RIP=Rest in Peace to a fallen brother. (and you know what I mean)
Some of the greatest songs of all time are 3 chordes and simple.
But, your point is valid.
To be honest, though....I'm hardly a fan of much 90's rock, I'm into older 70's southern rock and such.

I can dig that. I'm a Ed head. And I devotley follow all that stems from it.
Alice in Chains not important to music history?
They had the first EP to hit number one on the charts, and blended haunting, low-keyed acoustic works with their previous, more blistering affair, this move and melding of styles has influenced a great many artists. So what if some of the members roadied for Kyuss? If you listen to early, early AIC, there's no Kyuss connection at all, they sound like GN'R mixed with some Bowie.
Early Nirvana sounds like Melvins, and the songs that don't (such as Love Buzz) are covers, which doesn't give them any originality points. Kurt spoke to angst and reached a wide audience, then shot himself in the face and gained excessive notoriety, but in my opinion, his greatest accomplishment was getting the Seattle scene noticed, and letting bands like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and others be exposed to the public.
Nobody said that AIC isn't important. Not even me lol.
But they are just not as big, known, popular or important as Nirvana (was). That's a FACT people.
I like Nirvana, but I am not that big a fan. But it was Nirvana who put Seattle (and all the bands in it) on the musical world map.
Oh, ScarletSpider, why do you speak of covers ? Kurt Cobain wrote the vast majority of his music/hits himself.
