Re: Who was the best drummer of the best of grunge drummers?
This is tough but I'm gonna go with Matt Cameron in Soundgarden. He was a wildebeest.
I was gonna say "fucking monster" but that's overplayed so I went with wildebeest, the genus of antelopes known for their percussion skills.

Drums: Jimmy
Guitarist: Billy (Stone second)
Songwriter: Billy (Kurt second)
Bassist: Ben
Singer: Difficult, because Chris seems the obvious choice, but I actually don't care for his singing and Ed's voice is fucking terrible now. I'd probably go with
Layne or Kurt.
