Alice In Chains. Followed by Soundgarden. Those are the only grunge bands that I own more than 1 album (I have Ten, and am quite familiar with both Pearl Jam and Nirvana).

The collaberations were some of the best moments in Grunge imo, The Alicemudgarden track "Right Turn" on AIC's Sap e.p was a corker. Also no ones mentioned (as far as I can see) the Temple of The Dog album which pretty much gave birth to the "Ten" era pearl jam line up, the second track on there "Right Turn" is one of the best things to come out of that scene yet again imo. Mad Season w/ Layne Stayley and the guy from Screaming Trees (apologies I forget the name) is a little harder to get into but is ultimately pretty rewarding. got to admit that I never understood the hype surrounding Nirvana, it probably sounds ridiculous but i'm not sure i even class them as a grunge band their more accessible punk in my eyes.

Soundgarden, by far. Easily the most thematically ambitious and musically proficient of the big-name bands associated with that scene.

Soundgarden for Bad Motor Finger.
Candlebox deserves special mention.

tie between soundgarden and pearl jam. 'Ten' and 'superunknown' are both masterpieces, so i can't make up my mind. However, Dave Grohl on drums is a winner.

Exactly this, though the meaning of Nirvana being last means that I can't stand them. Pearl Jam "grunge days" have left quite for a while, yet they deliver some great hard rock with albums like Binaural and Yield. Of course, Ten still stands as their best IMO.
