(March 2022) Episode 395 is ALICE IN CHAINS. I’m shocked I didn’t listen to them more back in the day, as arguably the heavy metal-est of the grunge bands. Maybe because they were ubiquitous on the radio (an amazing number of these songs gave me 90s flashbacks). Or because I never took to the dual low-range vocals, which is distinctive. But it has aged well, and it is heavy and enjoyed at volume.
