Alice In Chains all the way. I like Nirvana, but I think they are one of the most over rated groups of all time.
 
AiC, no contest. I do like Nirvana, but I generally find them to be criminally overrated.
 
Kurt Cobain cannot be overcome. I mean the guy basicly invented grundge rock sound. Hello, no.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" made grunge popular

The success of Nevermind surprised the music industry. Nevermind not only popularized grunge, but also established "the cultural and commercial viability of alternative rock in general."

and that was the begining of the end..

but kurt didnt invented grunge
Bleach came out in 89, couple years after the movement started
 
Thing about AIC is that they whine so damn much. Nirvana had intelligence, satire, and poetry. AIC was heavier (which, in my opinion, is better), but it's a little too depressing.
 
NIRVANA NIRVANA NIRVANA!!!!

I've been obsessed with Nirvana and Kurt Cobain since I was 11 years old.

I am now 25 ;)

I do love Alice In Chains tho too.

Layne was the shit :)

But kurt by far was more talented...hands down.

"And I forget just why I taste, Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile."-Kurt Cobain,Smells Like Teen Spirit

A line every junkie can relate to ;)
 
Seriously, I cannot thank TheChemist enough for turning me on to Alice in Chains. They really are better than Nirvana.
 
Why does it make sense to compare the two? They seem like different things to me.
 
yougene - if u knew anything about either of the two band and knew what era this music revolved around it would make a lot more since. they r two of the best grunge bands to have ever existed (can't forget about pearl jam though). i would have to say alice in chains is a much better band and much more talented then kurt "i blew my head off" cobain. i mean not to hate on nirvana but the guy fucking married courtney love fo christ sakes. most people can't even look at her with out cringing let alone trying to live with her. i think the most probable cause driving cobain to suicide would b that whore, deffinatly not all the drugs and depression lol.
 
alice in chains everytime! i really don't like nirvana or kurt cobain. must just be me though!
 
Aic!

Alice in chains is like my favorite band ever. I do love nirvana too, but alice in chains is just a better band in my opinion. Also much more musically inclined (awesome harmonys between layne and jerry, better guitar, ect)
