| Alice In Chains | 1992 - | | Alice In Chains did everything a Grunge group should do. They formed in the late ‘80s in Seattle, landed a recording contract, had drug problems, did an Unplugged set, a ballad “No Excuses” was their biggest pop hit and they toured as part of Lollapalooza. | |
| Led Zeppelin | 1968 - 1980 | | Generally thought of as Heavy Metal founding fathers, Led Zeppelin, even in its earliest days, mixed acoustic and electric instruments on Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You and Your Time Is Gonna Come from Led Zeppelin. | |

| Pearl Jam | 1991 - | | Given their fractured beginning, who would have suspected that Pearl Jam would be the last Grunge band standing? | |
