When the big four Grunge/Seattle bands hit, I first heard Nirvana, then Pearl Jam, then Soundgarden, and then Alice in Chains.
Loved Nirvana right away ...first song right through the whole CD, loved Pearl Jam Ten as well.
I heard Louder than Love and Badmotorfinger a couple months later and liked it but not as much as the other two bands.
Lastly, I heard AIC Facelift and did not like it as much either.
I'm an old fart so maybe I wasn't ready for Soundgarden and AIC.
These days, Alice in Chains music I listen to most often of those four bands, it just grew and grew and grew on me, while I lost interest in Pearl Jam after their first record.
Eventually, everything Chris Cornell was a part of sounded great to me.
I also think Jerry Cantrell continuing to move forward with his music and finding a suitable replacement for Layne and Mike was probably not easy but has worked out great.
I'll paste what I wrote re their Honolulu show, but I was ready for SOMETHING to stir the pot and like Punk the grungedelic movement hit me square between the eyes and thx to a connect I got tix to everything that came to town. I didn't listen much to their releases but knew the scene was exploding by the talent on stage, we even had a great visual dance troupe that would often set driving and highly sexual tones for mesmerized crowds.
''got in free and booted it quite well, currently uncirculated like all my Golden Voice era recordings on Oahu. Layne was pleasantly impressive with a professional highwire frontman command while digging deep for his gutsy vocals, he seemed to be feeling it this nite. at one epic point he was way overextended on a monitor, pointing a finger over the engrossed crowd during a song's climax yet somehow maintaining impossible balance and driving the audience into a frenzy just like it often happened in the wild '60s and '70s when it was real. these young bands who grew up on their parents records brought that spirit of creativity and risk back in fine form and it mostly hasn't been seen since.''

Back in the '90s, Clearwater Beach passed an ordinance banning "too much anal cleft" for swimsuits (male and female, but mostly male), and then tried to enforce it. Turned out about as poorly as you might expect. There's no enforcing anything on spring breakers! :roflmao:
