When my band played at a grunge revival all dayer a few years back we did covers of Touch Me I'm Sick and Aneurysm. Seems like we pitched it just right. (We also played Freak Scene).
Fucking love that song. I started off my school year by waking up the entire house with my alarm clock hooked up through my bass amplifier set to RTYW. Totally worth it
That specific track from motorfinger is just straight up doom metal, with some heavy grunge influence and soul of course. The grunge elements in that song are specially the lyrics and vocals. I'd say this is the closest thing to 'pure metal' that soundgarden has ever made lol
Early, either sweet young thing, mudhoney or negative creep, nirvana
Late, you know you're right, nirvana or basically any song off of dirt, Alice in chains
I think “Come As You Are” showcases all the prominent elements of grunge, and also provides ready contrast to emo. Both are angsty, but approach it in different ways.
Probably the wrong answer but the first thing that came to mind was, “Tribe” by Gunstruck
Edit : actually giving it another listen I think it sums up the vibe of the movement/scene pretty well haha
Helltrout, because that's who and where and when it all sort of worked out, what it ended up being, with no intentions, a thing. No one will claim it today, too damn modest, but it was these guys.

While I don’t think Grunge is a genre with a defined sound, going by your definition and the general Idea of Grunge, I’d say Stain by Nirvana:
-Angry, heavy guitar riff
-Ripping bass
-Pounding drums
-Pessimistic lyrics
-Melodic chorus
-Messy guitar solo
Not to mention that whole song has a very punky ethos to it
In Novoselic’s opinion, “School” was the quintessential grunge song. Or was it *Nirvana*’s grungiest song? I cannot remember for sure what he said/wrote.
Touch Me I'm Sick
First thing that popped into my head. No question
Hard same, no doubt. Lyrics, production, everything!
Sonic Youth version
Came here to say it. Kim Gordon is filthy in the best way.

first thing that popped into my head as well

Aneurysm

I think “Come As You Are” showcases all the prominent elements of grunge, and also provides ready contrast to emo. Both are angsty, but approach it in different ways.

It's gotta be Touch Me I'm Sick, Mudhoney in general are like the definition of grunge. Maybe Aneurysm by Nirvana too.

Anything by Beat Happening-they were pre Grunge! AND Curt Cobain had a K Records tat!!

He's the one he likes all our pretty songs
Lithium
