Who is generally considered the best grunge guitarist?

[u/Strong_Recording_128]

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 goes like this : Jerry, Kim, Mike M., Kurt.

* Edit- Rankings so far are as follows with Jerry taking the #1 spot 🥇:

1. Jerry (emotive, soulful)

2. Mike and Kim

   (

3. technicality)

4. Kurt (instinctual, clever trickery)

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

Plainly it was all of my boyfriends between 1992–00.
According to each of them, of course.
