I love grunge myself. Grunge oozes with emotion, lyrical passion, and instrumental wonder. The genus is indeed a child. It is compared to rock, blues, and obviously classic, grunge in the early days of life. But look at how many good grunge tracks he has produced. I think I have two ways of thinking in my class. 1) The songs he likes are the ones I think best represent the genre. 2) I only use SEMEL artist for sure. You will only see one song Margarita Jam and Nirvana’s Single Song. That is only fair. I present to you, my Top 10 Grunge Songs of all time.
10. Crown of Thorns – Mother Love Bone
When I think Mother Love Bone, I immediately think “pre-Margarita Jam”. Mother Love Bone contained Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard who eventually joined Pearl Jam. A Crown of Thorns is truly the Tour de Force of Mother Bone Love. They were the only one able to release an album due to the death of lead singer Andrew Wood. This song can show how much potential he really had.
9. Tomorrow – Silverchair
I’m trying to avoid the argument of whether this is a grunge song or not. This song is easily grunge. A powerful chorus engulfs the listener. The instrumental tracks are exactly what true grunge presents. These qualities are consistent in the grunge track record.
8. Almost You – Screaming Trees
You almost lost a track that exists in the grunge lineup. It enters the listener’s ears with a pop instrumental feel, but then the grunge vocals burst through that less worthy track and the result is a great grunge song at the end.
7. Comedown – Bush
It’s hard to compare how Bush sounded in grunge in the 1990s and how Gavin Rossdale sounds now. Regardless, Comedown is an excellent demonstration of the genre. I favor a heavy guitar hole. He taunts you to listen to the song he builds. The guitar riff usually sets up the song itself and the listener wonders how the vocals go with it, but then the guitar goes to the lyrical entrance. Then there is the dance which I believe is one of the most dance-like in all of music.
6. Black Hole Sun – Soundgarden
The chorus of the band is really exquisite. They really put a ton of emotion and heart into their music. Black Hole Sun not only shows this, but also how powerful grunge is in the music world. Black Hole Sol. The opening guitar is like I mentioned in Comedown. He grabs the listener and pulls him into the song. I personally enjoy the lyrics and although the chorus is not as powerful as some of the songs on this list, I really like it.
5. Hunger – Temple of the Dog
Oh how I wish Temple of the Dog would release another album. On second thought, it would be better if they didn’t have to be as special as the album itself. How can you make a list of the greatest grunge tracks of all time and not include the signature of Eddie Vedder (Pearl jam frontman) and Chris Cornell (Soundgarden frontman.) Both show their vocal intensity in this song. Lyrically, as the video hits. A collection of verses and bridges in Wonderful music that shows all the potential of the artists in the song.
4. Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
The most heard and used songs on this list. But this should not degrade the quality. What reason does this poem hold? What is this really about? In the end, I believe, in describing the songs, the song is exactly what it feels like: the defining song of a generation. Slightly, if you think about it, Kurt Cobain wrote this song as if it were about his generation and his generation ended up completely defining it .
3. Also flow – Berry Jam
If you look at the Pearl Jam Top 10, you’ll notice that it’s also streaming after “Live” on that list. This is not because of the inconsistency of my opinion, but because of the fact that in my opinion I think Even Flow is simply a better GRUNGE song. Aris, with all the pieces of equipment, is absolutely wonderful. Twisted guitar and Eddie’s growling baritone easily make it a grunge classic. I don’t mean to give you that dark song that makes you feel like you’ve been tricked into an alley, but it does for me.
2. Either? – Alice in Chains
Either? The song clearly has everything in this broad genre. A creepy instrumental introduction, followed by a sinister singular word wrapped in a drum track, which spreads throughout the rest of the song. Then the vocals slide, up to the peak of intensity, which I believe is the most powerful of all the choruses of all time, in any song. Plus, don’t forget to engrave the last phrase: “If I would, could you?”
1. Plush-
I don’t think it’s possible to completely define the word grunge in a word or a visual form. You have to listen. If I had one song to describe grunge to someone who had never heard it before, it would be Plush. There is certainly nothing technical or remarkable about the instrumental work. But he doesn’t need a song. I’m actually glad the song ends with a guitar solo. A guitar solo rarely takes away a song, but I believe it will in this case. Plush is a decent representation of what grunge means, and no song can ever surpass that fact.
