Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Stone Temple Pilots
Jane's Addiction
Smashing Pumpkins
I think it's Jane's Addiction in a rout. No contest. I'm putting Ritual de lo Habitual on my "top five most meaningful albums to me" list (along with Let's Dance, Lion and the Cobra, Doggystyle, and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot). But I'm genuinely curious what other people have to think.

I would have to say Nirvana. People I know who generally have no patience for grunge/alt like Nirvana, myself included.
Pearl Jam and Soundgarden sucked. Any chance I had of ever liking them was killed by Houston radio, which played nothing but Tejano, country, bad club/dance music and a format that I like to call "All Pearl Jam All the Time."
Jane's addiction has never really done anything for me, except for their first commercially successful single. As for the Pumpkins, they are one of the few reasons I have for sometimes wishing I lived somewhere other than Chicago.
