Soundgarden I think, but my favourite of this genre still is Alice In Chains.

What makes Stone TP diffrent in a way that you need to throw this at them, arent they just a rock band, playing rock music, just like any other rock band, did they to anything to deserve your favores ?

Not to mention Stone Temple Pilots was actually one of the more adventurous grunge bands, just listen to Purple. That's one pretty eclectic album to my ears.

Agreed about King's X, but I'd replace PJ with Soundgarden. I feel they may be suitable for inclusion to the site someday as "prog-related," if mainly because of Badmotorfinger and Superunknown.

I´m gonna say Nirvana. Kurt was obviously a very imaginative soul, and I think he would have pushed the boundaries, especially when you count in the fact what Dave Grohl has developed into - you´d be facing something completely different, if they had overcome their drug issues and kept playing that is. 
Reason to this is perhaps the odd cello usage in Live unplugged, Kurt´s all over the place riffing - yet somehow still sounding in tune, In Utero album - and furthermore those two other guys were into art and whatnot as well. 
The other groups mentioned here dwell more in the rock field, and I basically think that Nirvana would have surprised us, if we´d only have had the chance to see them do so.

I don't think that Soundgarden are suitable for inclusion, but some of their songs are prog.
Only Cat Butt are pure grunge.

I agree, his death was a huge loss to the Seattle music scene.  I was not even in kindergarten when those guys came out with "Apple," but that album resonates with me like few albums ever have.  It is definitely one of my desert-island records, and totally essential for any collection as far as I'm concerned.

I love all the songs they wrote, but my favorite would have to be "Stargazer."  Just beautiful.

love Soundgarden and Pearl Jam

STP and Nirvana are also pretty kool

Soundgarden would be the one that heads in the prog direction the most of the lot 

but they are a long ways from prog to me
Prog On!

Have you guys heard of this band, www.shermanburns.bandcamp.com ? Definitely grunge oriented, but with obvious prog influences, they definitely don't have any reservations about showing it. I think the album is name your own price too.  Or at least it was...
