And what was most impressive about the decade wasn\u2019t the number of guitar bands that existed but how many of them were undeniably great. By the time grunge broke in 1991, underground bands occupied mainstream charts, and major labels raced to sign new bands to meet the demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many alt-rock anthems to keep track of, it\u2019s easy to overlook a few under-the-radar but equally great songs. So here\u2019s a reminder of a few you might have missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cIt Ain\u2019t Like That\u201d by Alice In Chains<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"It Ain&#039;t Like That\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iTOZ4snT7Sg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m going to get some static for this take, but Jerry Cantrell\u2019s best guitar riff isn\u2019t \u201cMan In The Box\u201d or \u201cThem Bones\u201d. They are bangers, obviously. But this deep cut from <em>Facelift<\/em> is a must-know. It echoes the band\u2019s glam roots with a T. Rex vibe and features one of Layne Staley\u2019s signature howls. In Cantrell\u2019s verse riff, we hear Marc Bolan\u2019s swaggering glam meeting Tony Iommi\u2019s low-tuned doom metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cStardog Champion\u201d by Mother Love Bone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mother Love Bone - Stardog Champion\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/prij-gGXITk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Though \u201cStardog Champion\u201d was released as a single, Mother Love Bone\u2019s debut and only studio album went somewhat unnoticed following singer Andrew Wood\u2019s death and the rise of grunge. But Wood, and tragically, his death, helped ignite the new scene. Bandmates Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament endured the loss of their friend and formed Pearl Jam, but without Mother Love Bone, you don\u2019t get to \u201cAlive\u201d, \u201cEven Flow\u201d, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/pearl-jam\/jeremy\">\u201cJeremy\u201d<\/a>. Or Temple Of The Dog. You\u2019ll want to crank it when Wood instructs the children to sing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cGun\u201d by Soundgarden<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gun\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lc6BVdMhtXU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Soundgarden signed with a major record label, the Seattle band had zero intentions of offering a more radio-friendly version of grunge. Here, Chris Cornell screams over sludge metal as his drummer Matt Cameron pushes and then drags the rest of the band through various tempo changes. A&amp;M Records released <em>Louder Than Love<\/em> in 1989, and few would have predicted how Soundgarden would help reshape rock music in the 1990s. I saw them perform at the second Lollapalooza in 1992, and you could sense a cultural revolt happening in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Gie Knaeps\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With so many alt-rock anthems to keep track of in the 90s, it&#8217;s easy to overlook a few under-the-radar but equally great songs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":2374,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Gie Knaeps\/Getty Images","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[152,226,109],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-2372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lists","tag-1990s","tag-alternative-rock","tag-grunge"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Lists","term_id":14,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/lists\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"1990s","term_id":152,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/1990s\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
