To me neither Soundgarden nor any of this bands has nothing to do with prog at all. Soundgarden indeed were cited as Seattle's response to Led Zeppelin. That adjective I believe suits a little better for them. But that's it.
 
By the way, if I had to choose an album off any of this bands and label it prog related (although I also believe this would be exaggerated), it would be Silverchair's Diorama, which was a complete change in their sound. With orchestral arrangements and the use of instruments like piano, harpsichord, and even hammond organ I really really recommend this album to anyone. It's beautiful.

Where are the Melvins??? Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Melon...not grunge in my book, more Alternative rock to me.
 
I like Mother Love Bone.

If you want to be technical about it, almost never. But some songs (Zero, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, I Am One, more songs on Gish) are kinda grunge.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

THAT many votes for Soundgarden?!  Eww... I've never really liked any of Chris Cornell's work.

Anyway, I voted for Alice in Chains, who is hands-down my favorite non-prog band.  Stone Temple Pilots is a close second, though, and I'm disappointed that they haven't gotten any votes.

Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, too hard to choose between all those. Nirvana was my favourite when I was a teenager, but lately I've been more into Pearl Jam but not exactly their grunge albums.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

Alice In Chains and not on the poll, I, Mother Earth.

BTW I am sure I saw a similar poll not so long ago, or is this a continuation?
Soundgarden with so many votes?? hmmm....Confused

WOW! Shocked How the hell have Soundgarden become the mighty gods of this poll so quickly? I'm impressed!
Oh and by the way, whoever voted for Skin Yard, nice one, it's a breath of fresh air from the big four.

Soundgarden, though I'm surprised The Melvins aren't an option.
