The battle for Seattle!

08-18-2009, 09:01 AM

It's early nineties Seattle. Four bands have emerged from the local music scene to battle it out for regional hegemony. With which does your allegiance lie?

Alice in Chains

Nirvana

Pearl Jam

Soundgarden

Soundvana/Nirvgarden

A four way tie after a day! But many of the biggest hitters on this forum haven't voted yet e.g. Zeppboy, Bobbyg, Carlozzi, Noodlez, b.o.b., Flipflop, Mr. Perfect, Deja Vu, Troggy, That 70s Guy, Annie, KBAD, Electric Funeral, Manut, Freedom, Harold, ShuffleItAll, CosmicDancer, Frisbee, Most Furious, Muleman, Crazy Don, Crimson, Moonchild, Wolf etc.

Nirvana, though the choice is a hard one, since I love parts of all those bands, but Nirvana was the largest one, so...they own it

I was at a Pearl Jam concert a number of years ago, Evenflow came on. The entire arena sang it word-for-word and Eddie's vocals fit perfectly into the crowd with great synchronicity. In that moment, it sounded better than any song I had ever heard or been a part of.

Then Mike McCready broke into a guitar solo that was a fusion of Pearl Jam and Jimi Hendrix, which caught us all by surprise. The entire crowd spontaneously erupted in cheers. I could have swore there was an earthquake and the arena was floating off it's rafters. So...

I compiled it from other board sources. Most, but not all, have something in common.
