Earworm April 28, 2009 - Man In The Box/Alice In Chains

They helped Nirvana save rock 'n' roll

Allmusic.com describes Alice In Chains very tidily:

"Drawing equally from the heavy riffing of post-Van Halen metal and the gloomy strains of post-punk, the band developed a bleak, nihilistic sound that balanced grinding hard rock with subtly textured acoustic numbers. They were hard enough for metal fans, yet their dark subject matter and punky attack placed them among the front ranks of the Seattle-based grunge bands."

What more can you ask from a band than that?

MERIT: *** 1/2
ORIGIN: unknown
PERSISTENCE: *** 1/2
