Big 4

They say if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, and these four sure did.

We looked at every album by the 'Big 4' of grunge — Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam — and picked the best song off each.

Plenty of rock artists toured hard and released solid albums. But these four had the most seismic impacts.

Many associated with this belatedly named genre openly embrace it, while others have an almost violent revulsion.

Oasis and Rush have already made seemingly impossible returns this year. Who could be next?

The four bands that best encapsulate all of '90s rock — Seattle grunge, politically-charged rap-rock, punk and alternative.

Our picks for the 'Big 4' of grunge guitarists are Melvins' Buzz Osborne, Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, Alice In Chains' Jerry Cantrell and Nirvana's Kurt Cobain.

Defining folk rock is a paradoxical task, to say the least.
