Off Topic, Best Seattle Band ever?

I'm working on a project about indie music in the early 1990's and I'm just curious what people's favorite "Seattle"-area band was. Here's some that are generally considered...

Nirvana, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, The Gits, 7 Year *****, Queensrche, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, The Melvins, Gruntruck, Skin Yard, Green River, Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, TAD, Screaming Trees, The U-Men, The Presidents of the United States of America, Zeke, Blood Circus, Hammerbox, The Go! Team, Love Battery, Mono Men, My Sister's Machine, Truly, Willard, Candlebox, The Posies, The Walkabouts, Gas Huffer, The Fartz, Fastbacks, Ten Minute Warning, Supersuck, Sleater-Kinney, Seaweed, Fugazi...(Later Years) Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, Harvey Danger, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Minus the Bear, Pedro the Lion,

There's some big bands in there. Also a few I personally would take off the list.

Not a big fan of most of those but I suppose pearl jam.

Fugazi is awesome btw. I missed them on the first read through.

I have to give people options. I'm wondering how many people are just going to say Nirvana and how many have the balls to admit they love The Presidents of the United States of America. Seriously, everytime I see a peach I start humming "Peaches".

My personal favorite would be Soundgarden, Chris Cornell is a great singer.

potusoa.... Kitty at my feat and I wanna touch it! we listen to that song all the time when my band is touring.

Alice In Chains R.I.P Layne Staley, Sound Garden Chris Cornell is obviously outstanding, Pearl Jam, Death Cab For Cutie.

Those are the bands I know out of your list. Alice In Chains is one of my favorite bands. Probably all time favorite.

I think as far as album sales and popularity it's a toss up between Soundgarden and Nirvana. When it comes to longevity and consistency it's a toss up between Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. With that in mind, the big 4 easily take the cake there.

Another Seattle band that really left a mark in the scene was Sonic Youth. I was never a big fan, but they did leave a mark.

best song form a seattle group is "rooster" by AIC and "smells like teen spirit" by nirvana. that song alone made hair metal bands just disappear. which was a good thing imho.

Sir-Mix-Alot

i know he's from a different era, but Hendrix could work in any music project. his first gig was in Seattle.

jimi hendriz was born in auburn washngton state. paul allen of microsoft built the EMP near the space needle and jimi hendrix has the most material in that building. it's like a west coast rock n roll hall of fame but smaller. i would have jimi hendrix in the top four guitarists off all -time. hendrix, jimmy page, eric clapton and eddie van halen.

Nirvana!

sir mix alots best song is called "posse on broadway". the video is shot entirely in seattle. there cruising the streets in seattle as he shows off his posse. great lyrics to that song.
