THE best rock band in my opinion. Their music is deep, poetic, dark, emotional, beautiful and just fucking rocks. Awesome vocals from Layne Stanley. Awesome guitar solos and vocals from Jerry Cantrel.

Some of their best songs include: Man in the Box, Nutshell, Angry Chair, Again, Rain When I Die, I Stay Away, Rooster, and Grind
It didn't really rain when Layne Stanley died..

Have you heard Nutshell? Its beautiful.

Heavy Meatal/"Grunge" band circa 1987-late '90s. Formed by vocalist Layne Staley, guitarist Jerry Cantrell, bassist Michael Starr, and drummer Sean Kinney. Recorded debut album, 'Facelift' in 1990 after releasing the 'We Die Young' EP. Then releases the 'Sap' EP in 1991. In 1992, they peaked with their classic 'Dirt'. After 'Dirt' Michael Starr was replaced with Ozzy Osbourne bassist Mike Inez. Recorded the best-selling EP of all time, 'Jar of Flies' in 1993, the stoped touring for three years because of Staley's serious heroine problem. The recorded their self-titled album in 1995, then finished off with an Unplugged album in 1996. In April of 2002, when the band wasn't really doing anything together, Layne Staley was found dead in his house of an apparent overdose of heroine and cocaine.

Alternative rock band (or "grunge")prevalent in the mid 90's heavily laden with talent and angst. Very few bands that follow similar styles live up to these virtuosos.
Alice in Chains kicks ass.
