I know the background, but these two bands couldn't have been more different from one another. Not only was their approach to rock-n-roll different, the lead singer for <b>Mother Love Bone</b> (Andrew Wood) was little more than a Axl-Rose-wannabe (IMHO) and was not the writer that Eddie Vedder is. Pearl Jam gets my vote on their merit alone. In a stand-off twix <b>Alice In Chains</b> and <b>Mother Love Bone</b>, <u>Alice</u> would win hands down. Had Wood not died, MLB would have been awash in the heavy metal backlash that other non-grunge acts suffered after 1990 and whatever band Eddie Vedder wound-up in would have still garnered success.
