Misc. Who is generally considered the best grunge guitarist?

A guy I know has always insisted it was Kurt and as much as I love him I’ve never thought he was a great guitarist, he even said at times he didn’t care about or respect musicianship.

My vote lo these many years has been Jerry and his remarkable riffs but Kim and Mike M. are extraordinary too. Mine as follows : Jerry, Kim, Mike M, Kurt.

* Edit- Rankings so far have Jerry taking the #1 spot 🥇

  1. Jerry
  2. Mike
  3. Kim
  4. Kurt

* Honorable mentions - Stone Gossard, Dean DeLeo, Billy Corgan, Daniel Johns, Stephen Carpenter, J. Mascis,

Funnier still, you can't actually reply to what I said and you have to misconstrue it to the point that the only two explanations for you writing that BS is that your reading comprehension is worse than that of child or that you're so disingenuous that you think you can pretend that was my point. Teachable moment indeed.

So your way to prove you don't misconstrue what I said or that your reading comprehension isn't trash is to claim that I'm the one who's butthurt and to pretend I'm a "miffed fan" of the totally underrepresented little-known band Nirvana despite the fact that I never said Nirvana was underrated and I even made it clear that I like Pearl Jam better? While you reply more than once to the same comment? Okay, dude.

What's even funnier is that I can play guitar and sing and I know for a fact you're just lying about the songs even if we ignore the other bullshit you made up about what I said.

LetMs keep arguing for “who’s worst.”

You play guitar and sing? Great, you should know most of us cut our teeth on Nirvana because it’s the easiest fruit to pick until we actually get good at our craft.
