It was mostly a reaction to the five year anniversary edition not the charity single...

Ah I gotcha!

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

It really is. Better than Nirvana's imo.

That's not even a bias thing for me. I loved both AIC and Nirvana. That AIC Unplugged is just an amazing set.

I disagree and this isn’t an attack on anyone’s here opinion but many AIC fans seem to a bit of a complex about them being the 4th most popular band out of the big four Grunge bands.

I was definitely a bigger fan of AIC back then the rest. I honestly don't even remember their unplugged. I was killing a lot of brain cells back then.

The first time I heard Pearl Jam, I hated Eddie‘s voice. Have now seen them 51 times to date.

I think what really made me love AIC was Jerry’s and Layne’s harmonies.

Nirvana is my 4th place of the big four.

I loved Soundgarden and thought Nirvana was okay with Bleach. Nevermind rated on my nerves at the time, I've grown to love it. I thought Eddie Vedder sounded like Tracey Chapman and didn't really appreciate PJ until VS. Stopped paying attention after Vitalogy until Avocado. AIC I loved at Facelift... loved DIRT. Jar of Flies is not my favorite. SAP is great. Only one of these that I saw live and it was awesome. I stopped paying attention at self-titled though. Nirvana meanwhile made one of my all time top ten albums with In Utero.

TLDR; depends on the time period.

Then: 1. AIC 2. Soundgarden 3. PJ 4. Nirvana. Now: 1. Nirvana 2. Soundgarden 3. PJ 4. AIC

AIC was my 4th place in real-time, while Nirvana was first by a few miles ahead of PJ and the garden of sound...

Over the past twenty years though AIC has definitely become my most listened to by a longshot. Soundgarden has climbed up quite a lot over the last 10 – maybe not quite as much as Nirvana, but very close. Pear Jam is the only one of the lot I ever saw live but they've lagged way behind in my older years, and I only ever really revisit the first 3 and their Unplugged.

Jar of Flies is not my favorite.

Jar of Flies IS my favorite.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Seeing Stone Gossard yell "Mookie is in da houz!!" leaves an indelible mark on you. And not in a good way.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Jar of Flies IS my favorite.

I thought then and I still think now that it sounds like Cinderella (which is not an insult from me, I like Cinderella.)

 

[ShawnST]

I had no idea that Sap/Jar Of Flies album went for so much now. I'm definitely going to ditch it for a cheaper copy if that's what we're getting!

I still remember when Jar Of Flies came out and I noticed there were little plastic flies in the spine of the CD jewel case.

 

[tvham]

Jar of Flies IS my favorite.

Me too!

[Melt Face Molly Drop]

I only owned Nirvana CDs as a teen. Early 20s me would put AIC at the top. Late 20s/early 30s me probably Pearl Jam. Soundgarden never really connected with me though I love Chris Cornell.

Current me just listens to Screaming Trees Nearly Lost You on repeat.

Nirvana>>>>>>> Pearl Jam> Soundgarden> AIC

Always and forever.

I enjoy the other 3 but Nirvana is one of my all time favorites.
