The early 90’s “grunge” movement was such a unique movement;
arguably the last true music scene. It was so unique and important to music
that you could almost compare each bands impact with that of bands from the
golden age of early 70’s British hard rock. I can make a pretty good argument
as to why Alice In Chains are the Black Sabbath of grunge, just like I
can make an argument, maybe not as good of one, that Soundgarden are the Deep
Purple of grunge. Due to me not wanting this article to be a novel, which
it already almost is, I won’t discuss those arguments here (but you’re free to
ask me). I will, however, reveal my argument as to why Pearl Jam are the Led
Zeppelin of grunge. I only recently came to this realization. (If you’re
wondering where I’d put Nirvana, I’d
go a decade sooner than the previously mentioned Brit bands and say they are
the Beatles of grunge. I have more
than just a simple argument for that as well.)
