lol @ the guy who started this whole Tool is grunge thing. Opiate and Undertow can simply be considered hard rock or heavy metal. There's also an apparent sludge influence on those two records.
My vote goes to AiC. I know they were dissatisfied with being labeled as grudge, and forced to wear flannel by the record company. It's true that the music is very much hard rock or heavy metal, but I still consider them in essence a grudge band especially as far as vocals and lyrics go.

As for the most prog "gurnge-influenced" band, that might be Karnivool...
I don't hear it. Well, at least not in either Themata or Sound Awake.

They have already corrected the poster, no need to remind him again and in such a cold way.
Missed that, and I didn't think I was being cold.
If you know that he's a new guy, you can tell him where the correct section is, and since you're here, you can add something to the purpose of the poll...
You are wise beyond your years.
My vote goes for Alice in Chains. The vocal harmonies that Staley and Cantrell were able to pull off put them heads and tails above the other grunge bands in my opinion.

What is grunge? Except for some clone bands like Stone Temple Pilots, the bands listed here have little in common with one another. I'd pick the Melvins as most genre- and boundary-breaking band from this scene, so I would have picked them if they were in the list

never heard of "prog" grunge.
The Melvins are rather experimental (I didn't say "prog") but besides coming from Seattle, they don't have anything in common with their friends in grunge bands.
(Metal Church are also from Seattle by the way).

Bah, this whole "grunge" thing was nothing but a forgery made by musical "journalists", some of them being easily fooled by Megan Jasper when it came to the subject of the "grunge lexicon". I hear more differences than common points between Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Mudhoney and Nirvana.
About the Melvins, I always had the feeling that they took a few years before turning somewhat experimental, no? After all, has anyone ever heard the demos of Cobain and Novoselic when they rehearsed under the moniker of "Fecal Matter"?
(BTW, Heart is also from Seattle, just like Hendrix, Queensr’che, the SOnics and the extraordinary tech-thrash-metal band Forced Entry).
Jesus what the hell do you mean with that? What music was "killed" by grunge?
