9. Bush: Glycerine
Bush is another band that benefited greatly from the gold rush that followed in the wake of Nirvana's success. Indeed, they sound like a Nirvana-by-design, unlike the real Nirvana, which was a strictly by-accident phenomenon. "Glycerine" was one of a pair of hits from their 1994 debut to reach #1 on the Modern Rock chart, and crossover to a top-40 showing on the pop charts. Bush earned tepid reviews at best throughout their career, but all five of their albums charted in the Billboard top-40, the first two reaching the top-10.
10. Green River: Swallow My Pride
Usually credited with being the first grunge band of them all, Green River's first release was in 1985, and represented the vanguard or grunge's first wave. They're best remembered now as the band that gave Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament and Mudhoney's Mark Arm and Steve Turner their big start. Their Sub Pop debut was released in 1987, but the band broke up the following year. "Swallow My Pride" is a good record, and of considerable historical value, and appeared on several compilations. Mark Arm's discography can be traced to an amateurish band called Mr. Epp, which released an EP in 1982.
