Eddie Vedder is now the last of the big 4 grunge frontmen left.

The last song on the Soundgarden set in Detroit included parts of Led Zep's "In My Time of Dying". Spooky.

Kurt Cobain
Chris Connell
?

Who's the forth?, I come up with Scott Weiland and Layne Staley

[Bovidae]

@Virgil Layne Staley. STP aren't considered part of the big 4.

Ouch!
Have to say I was always a STP fan and then later enjoyed a few Velvet Revolver songs

[jegga]

Scott Weiland had a superb voice , should be the big 5 really

[Bovidae]

There was a big 4 of thrash metal in the 1980s so the music critics came up with a big 4 of grunge in the 1990s.

[Virgil]

Where would we fit Dave Grohl into this?
On sticks only with Nirvana of course but hasn't done too bad since he stepped out on his own.

Bonus is he appears to be well balanced and almost 'normal'
Unlikely contender for the Deadpool club

They can't count past 4?

Agree 100%. Alice in Chains were very good but whatever Weiland did was better IMHO.

I can only assume it's cos they weren't actually from Seattle cos leaving them out of that group is unforgivable.

That would be it.

I prefer AIC to the others myself.

I'd be STP/Soundgarden then AIC followed but Nirvana and PJ.

The iHeart App has a Chris Cornell tribute channel up

[jegga]

The rock did a superb tribute to Cornell this morning . They've been playing his back catalogue too.

[taniwharugby]

@jegga their FB page said they would be playing his stuff all day, alas not exclusively, been other stuff mixed in.
