You know the 'Big 4' from Seattle and likely some of the other grunge favorites, but these '90s grunge bands seem like they should have had a bigger career.
Grunge bands aren't necessarily known for ballads, but these 13 ballads by Alice In Chains, Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam and others are the best of the era.
These are the best albums by 14 different grunge bands, most of which became popular in the Pacific Northwest area during the late '80s and early '90s.
I listen to many different genres of music. But when it comes down to it, I always lean on rock 'n roll. It didn't make me popular growing up, it doesn't make me popular now, and I'm perfectly okay with that.
