This song is arpeggalicious.  ;)  Quite likeable.

Eeeuuuuw. Icky.

 holy cow: what a set!

I've always liked AIC, and I had a very nostalgic period in my life in which I practically listened to AIC all day long, but it's the first time I've ever heard this and I'm absolutely stunned. Such a great song.

Maybe I'm a robot, or Pavlov's dog, but I'm such a sucker for arpeggio.  Don't remember this one, but sounds good today. 

This cut appealed enough that I just 1-clicked the CD from Amazon... that's the good/bad of internet shopping: it's sooo easy.

Were great?  Suggest you pick up their latest CD "Black Gives Way to Blue" and they've got a new one coming this spring... although Layne has left this mortal coil the band continues and are still great.

Always enjoyed the album, but man, piezo pickups harsh my mellow.

These guys were great...and this short CD was excellent.

movement? if I remember right from the interviews I heard and read in the early 90s, every single band (that got labeled "grunge!") hated the label "grunge". and the label was just set up by the music industry to give this a name under which to sell it. the only thing they had in common is, that most of them originated from seattle/washington state and most of them knew each other / were friends?

grunge was more a fashion (concerning clothes). i copied eddie vedder's and jeff ament's clothing style back then *ahem* ;o))

I liked most of those bands, but never compared them. How? They were all so distinctive.

(Ok, no, almost true: I always thought STP (San Diego, not(!) Seattle!) were id*ots & tried to copy PJ and jump on the "grunge" train. (Now I like some of their songs). And I didn't like Mudhoney, too indie).

Heaven.

Alice in Chains were definitely my favourite band of the time. While Pearl Jam and Nirvana were liked by those who didn't even call themselves grunge enthusiasts, AIC stayed more on the edges and you could hear it in their music. Layne Staley's voice was brilliant and the perfect complement to Jerry's songwriting. Stone Temple Pilots and Tool were two of my other favourites. Although I'm still hugely passionate about music, I can't think of an era where I was more obsessed than those grunge-filled nineties...

And let us not forget the Screaming Trees or even Pearl Jam's predecessor Mother Love Bone.  I find that the grunge moniker probably described the who cares fashion sense they all had rather than the music they played.  There was some variation in the noise made by the different bands to my ears.

Wow, this takes me back.  The only one of their albums that survived my 2001 rent crisis was the Unplugged (too scratched to sell), I had forgotten how much I loved this song.

Have you ever wonder how somebody can't love this band?

Yes I think Nirvana and Soundgarden were very good also just not as good as STP and Alice in Chains. Not a fan of Mudhoney and I don't even have to mention that other band you already know what I think of them. Of course it is all subjective and there are no best band of era awards up for grabs.

Oh yes, these guys and STP are by far the most talented to come out of the movement.

Did they ever snuff that fucking rooster? Jesus. 

Take me home....this Monday is dragging...10 more minutes before the dreaded commute!  Oh...Bryan...I love your voice.  This is great!  Thanks RP!!!!

Bang Bang indeed.
Now there's a segue no-one but Bill would have chased up.

Alice in Chains.  That lil pick-me-up when working through the night again.  Yea.

Give me more. Great album. One of my all time favourite bands. My teenage years wouldn't have been the same without them.
