I don't really consider Pearl Jam as grunge. I mean. Sure all members accept Eddy Vedder came from Seattle but other than that they didn't really have a "grunge" sound. It was more like Rock. Or is I should say. Alice in Chains was more like a modern Black Sabbath. Though the last album they had with Layne Staley did sound more grunge than their other stuff. Soundgarden kind of sounded grunge but not like Nirvana or Mudhoney. But if all those are considered grunge even if the sound isn't "grungy" I would have to say my favorite is Alice in Chains. ^^''
