Sorry there but up until Cobain's death, Pearl Jam and Nirvana were neck and neck.
After Cobain's death Nirvana ironically pulled away from everyone else according to the media.
But after 16 years or so, who is still touring and drawing massive crowds all over the World?
Yeah Pearl Jam is.
No other band in the "grunge (I FUCKING HATE that term)" scene has lasted as long as Pearl Jam has.
Nirvana - Lead singer offed himself because he knew his status would be cemented.
Soundgarden - Broke up
Alice in Chains (although they weren't really grunge) - Lead singer OD'ed
Pearl Jam - Still around and still one of the top grossing touring bands in the World.
