8.  I can't get into the new stuff, but I still love the old.

Somewhere between a 5 and a 6. It's a band I'd never seek out to listen too, but if I was scanning the dial, I'd stop on most of their pop songs, enjoy it and that'd be all I would need for a while.

Ive enjoyed the 90’s stuff that pops up on the radio. But thats all really 5/10

7/10

Good band that was responsible for a lot of garbage such as Creed. The original grunge bands mostly influenced a lot of crap.

While their latest albums have never grabbed me like their first 3, I gave them a 10 as they were my favorite band from 1992-1999 and I have tons of great memories attached to listening to their music. They are one of the best live acts out there too.

Low 8.  Probably my favorite of the grunge bands.  Better than garbage rock Nirvarner.  I also really liked that solo album Eddie Vedder did about that guy that got lost in Alaska.  Probably bumped them from 7.

They're pretty solid. I don't mind hearing them on the radio, but I can't say that I go out of my way to listen to them beyond that. 7/10.

Fun story: my dad played pickup basketball with them a few times 30 years ago.  Maybe I'll text him for more details.

7. 

[AstralSoul | 503]

One of my favorite bands of all time. They personify everything I love about the early 90s, and while their later stuff isn't as good, the first 5 albums or so are just amazing. I love grunge overall but they're my favorite of them. Ten is one of the best albums of all time in my opinion. I gave them a 10 but it's probably more of a 9.5 just because a few albums of theirs are forgettable but their best stuff keeps them ranked high plus Eddie Vedder is one of my favorite frontmen of any rock band.

6/10

there's a few really great songs, like Even Flow, World Wide Suicide or Jeremy, but most of the rest I don't care for.

Eddie Vedder has also gotten terribly incoherent with his vocals in recent years. Superblood Wolfmoon is borderline unlistenable.
