Although during the 90's, Nirvana was the "band of the 90's," that moniker has been passed on to Pearl Jam. Once an unstoppable beast in M-M-Rch Madness, they now lose each year to Tool, and their matches leading to that point are typically very close.
Some best-known songs: Jeremy, Alive, Yellow Ledbetter
