In honor of another dead guy, let's do some ranking.
1. Kurt Cobain
2. Eddie Vedder
3. Dave Grohl
4. Gwen Stefani
5. Anthony Keidis
6. Chris Cornell
7. Billy Joe Armstrong
8. Trent Reznor
9. Billy Corgan
10. Scott Weiland
Honorable Mention: Layne Staley, Marilyn Manson, Courtney Love, Zach De La Rocha, Perry Farrell
I didn't include Thom Yorke because I don't know that Radiohead really fits into this.
Discuss.

alice in chains is the most underrated from the grunge groups... but staley didnt perform that long
weiland > reznor... velvet revolver had a handful of amazing work (mostly a letdown tho), though slash carried to a degree. still, i like weiland
Nice list. Can't go wrong with Kurt @ #1.
I would probably put Marilyn Manson in the Top 10 and not an Honorable Mention. Dude had a cult following unlike anything I've ever seen. And if you could get past the weird shit he would wear and do in videos....he actually made some decent songs.
1. Kurt
2. Staley
3. Cornell
4. Vedder
5. Claypool
6. Kiedis
7. Rocha
8. Reznor
9. Nowell
10. Corgan
The devil trembles when he knows the body is the temple and God is in you
It's hard to continue when it's hard to offend you
He snarls and sets traps, that have you setback
The last round in this death match
So strengthen where you're best at
I promise you won't regret that -KP
and there were so many great bands in this era too, you could make a completely different top 10 list that's just as good. I'm already seeing that I forgot Rivers Cuomo and Maynard James Keenan and I'll probably remember a half dozen more tonight
And then fucking Limp Bizkit & Korn came along and ruined shit for everyone.
Reznor is number 1. He won an oscar ffs. Although I wouldn't call his music grunge.
Abstain. Too taxing on the ol noodle n ticker to do this.
Me personally....Maynard would be my #1 above Kurt. Tool is one of my all time favorite groups.
And then fucking Limp Bizkit & Korn came along and ruined shit for everyone.
Learn to swim, tbh.
stefani, corgan, and reznor don't seem to fit the bill
"It's like every breath I take.....is pure power."
ROFLROFL
I'd put Mark Lanegan on there, tbh.
So it goes.
1. Chris Cornell
2. Kurt Cobain
3. Scott Weiland
4. Zach de la Rocha
5. Thom Yorke
6. Bradley Nowell
7. Trent Reznor
8. Eddie Vedder
9. Maynard James Keenan
10. Damon Albarn
Yorke is in there because Radiohead is the best band of the decade (IMO) and Albarn because there should be at least one Britpop guy on this list. Anthony Kiedis isn't on the list because I'm not sure the Chili Peppers can be classified as a 90's band- they put out at least three albums in the '80s, including the killer Mother's Milk. If this was an 11-person list Les Claypool would be #11.
1. Scott Weiland 2. Kurt Cobain 3. Eddie Vedder 4. Layne Staley 5. Chris Cornell
AIC didn't perform that long but they put out 5 records in the 90's including the 2 EPs. Staley should be on this list for sure.
And certainly Weiland. Even if it sounded derivative, Core was a good album. And Purple showed they could do something besides grunge.
But he had a great voice.
And I'd rather listen to Shirley Manson from Garbage than No Doubt.
Also, Gavin Rossdale should get some mention. 16 Stone was awesome and and the follow up were good records.
Oh yeah...I'd also consider the singer from Live.
It could be argued Michael Stipe was at his peak as a frontman in the 90's, even though REM was better as a whole in the 80's. Whatever else you think of REM or Stipe, he was a great performer. I'd put him in my top 10.
lmao at Liam Gallagher being nowhere to be seen ITT
murikans
Damon Albarn > the Gallagher brotherslmao at Liam Gallagher being nowhere to be seen ITT
Yeah, in being a faggot maybe...
I'd say RHCP feels like a 90's band, despite putting out content in the 80's. The same way GNR or The Pixies feel like 80's bands despite having a presence in the 90's. It's certainly very subjective though.
LMAO. I was going to use the term "rip off" but I like STP. So "derivative" seemed less egregious.
Honorable mention to Mark Arm of Mudhoney.
Not a Blur fan? Fair enough.Yeah, in being a faggot maybe...
I'll give some props to the Gallaghers. Definitely Maybe and What's the Story Morning Glory are both really good albums. But Be Here Now sucked ass and I think even those guys would admit as much- one of them characterized the making of Be Here Now as "a bunch of coked-up guys not giving a fuck." Blur has the better body of work, IMO.
Another underrated '90s frontman: Mike Patton.
That's a good call.Not a Blur fan? Fair enough.

damn, Layne with only a HM?
Hi I was at Champons in Fairview and I need to go to washroom then I see Marion taking piss with Solo mans. First of everything I huge surprise they are make friendship. Maytricks is championship hall of fame coach player and Solo mans is very much suck so why they talk. I ask if why Matrix is piss at washroom of Champions and Marions say he is bring the champions to Toronto in trade and play against fake superman start on son day. Solomans leave washroom and Voshkill cum in to piss with Maytricks and hugs and says welcome to dinosaur team and championship time.
We are happy for champonship trade and trophy of world to start agains Magics.
all of them got it wrong.
A lot of good stuff from the 90s, which was the last great decade for rock. You really have to dig deep today to find anything worth a shit.
Same can be said about rap too.
You have to consider Chris Daughtry and Clay Aiken in there as well.
underrated is an understatement, Patton is more talented than all of them imoNot a Blur fan? Fair enough.
