Subject: Nirvana vs. Guns N' Roses vs. Metallica vs. Pearl Jam

Written By: 90s Guy on 06/22/18 at 5:55 pm

Arguably the biggest rock bands in the world at various points in the 90s before 1995. Who was the best?

It's mainly a matter of personal preference.  Things went downhill rapidly for Guns N Roses, but when they were firing on all cylinders they were one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.

Axl Rose may be a complete asshole but he's also a very gifted composer. A lot of people like to hate on Chinese Democracy but I happen to think that it's an underrated if flawed masterpiece whose reputation will increase as time goes on.

I like to think of Axl Rose as "evil Brian Wilson."  ;D

1. Pearl Jam
2. Metallica
3. Nirvana
4. Guns N Roses

I do enjoy all four to varying extents though. Although Guns N Roses is ranked at the bottom (mainly because they were the epitome of glam metal), they did have "November Rain", which is a great song.

I like Pearl Jam and Nirvana almost equally, however Pearl Jam does have the slight edge over Nirvana. I've been a fan of Pearl Jam since I was 5 years old and as a result, I have memories attached to listening to their songs as a child. I hate Guns N' Roses.

PJ
Nirvana
Metallica
GnR

Nirvana was great, Pearl Jam was awesome. Ten, Versus, Vitalogy were released within 4 years.  The hits were one after another on the radio. Spin the Black Circle was a jam. Top song.

I went with Guns N Roses. GNR were more successful in the US in the late 80s, but I loved this reference to GNR on Married with Children at the time:
