Not quite "around the same" - grunge seems just to have mellowed out into much more generic mope rock, but stoner rock's still going on strong!

I agree, but that I don't remember 1990s stoner rock ever becoming as popular as grunge. With the exception of a couple of bands, of course, but maybe things are different where you live? |
no ofc stoner rock was never as big as grunge i was yust saying most bands that played the 2 styles was active around the same time.

I love the more blatantly commercial side of grunge with Stone temple Pilots.... i love Alice In chains (mostly the Dirt and the leg-less dog album...), Soundgarden (mostly their last and a little of superunknown and badmotorfinger), Nirvana's nevermind, Pearl Jam TEN and just a little of VS (the rest are a disaster)... So yes, I like commercial grunge.

Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, AIC and The Melvins are all great.
But my favorite is undeniably Nirvana, they were my favrorite band at one point, and are still one of my favorite bands. They may not have been that innovative musically, being influenced mostly by hardcore punk and bands like The Melvins and Pixies. But they did help make alternative rock more popular and because of them older alternative bands like REM and Sonic Youth were gaining a more mainstream following. And criticize Cobains guitar skills all you want, the guy knew how to write a song, and had some great riffs and hooks up his sleeve.
I do hate it when people call them completely unoriginal, god forbid a band has influences.

Nirvana acknowledged the influence of The Wipers on the compilation Eight Songs for Greg Sage and The Wipers (The CD is Fourteen Songs for Greg Sage and The Wipers) by covering Return of the Rat.. They also recorded a version of D-7 which is on Hormoaning.

if indeed you consider Grunge as an actual genre,.... Vitus and Soundgarden were label mates at one time, both on SST and i think SG took a bit from Vitus during that time, I also I know Wino's band The Obsessed (plus Vitus), were a huge influence on Greg Ginn, and were one of the reasons why Black Flag came around to playing "Burn Out" Rock music with a heavy Sabbath/70s vibe, plus other SST mammoths like The Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Dinosaur Jr and Husker Du all came around from their Punk beginnings to play some heavy 70s influenced RnR, then of course you have odd ball bands like The Melvins and Flipper and Green River who had their place in the foundation of "Grunge", the 80s very great time for Underground Music all around if you ask me, |

I like three songs by Alice in Chains and that's it for grunge.
