I dont remember ever making this thread....? I am not here to bury kurt cobain...but people hype up his skills when lyrically staley was better and sonically they might have been as well.

My fault, but if it wasn't you it was some other nikka over there on the same tip

you dont remember less than 24 hours ago? :childplease:

I do agree Layne was a better lyricist.. but then again you cant compare the two bands. Theyre both on different pages.
I can compare chains to soundgarden more than i can to nirvana.

Is it true AIC's "Again" is about an alien abduction?

No way you get out of this one without some clear-cut examples. Cobain's lyrics were deep, "Something in the Way" was very personal and direct. Layne Staley never got that poignant, imo (and yes, I'm even including "Junkhead")

In fact, the best thing Layne Staley ever did was probably the Mad Season record.

The title of this thread is ridiculous, too. Mia Zapata's death had a bigger impact on grunge than Layne Staley's (as someone else pointed out, Alice in Chains had been done for a while by the time Staley died). Still does, actually...

Pearl Jam was/is/always will be complete garbage, definitely agree with that.

Soundgarden were opportunists who started out as a hair-metal band in the late 80's (go check the album "Ultramega OK" and try not to laugh, even the biggest Soundgarden fans can't argue that), and then realized there was a different lane brewing early on and got into the whole Seattle grunge sound with "Badmotorfinger" (which is one of the best albums ever in the grunge genre)

cobains lyrics were deep?? what like "rape me" or all his one word choruses??? AICs lyrics were MUCHHH deeper (Nutshell, Hate to Feel, Confusion, DIRT, Down In a Hole, Rooster, I Stay Away...etc) and had wayyyyy more meaning than Nirvanas...its not even disputeable... and smh @ PJ being complete garbage.. Release Me is such a moving song along with many others...
