The fact is, despite Pearl Jam or Nirvana getting more credit in the ‘grunge’ scene, AiC basically, to put it in modern terms, put out 3 straight Linkin Park ‘Hybrid Theory’ level of albums in terms of radio releaseable hits — meaning about every song on every album at the time could have been a hit.
