Well Pearl Jam is my favorite band of all-time but I feel Nirvana was more influential to a change in a whole music scene. Pearl Jam is far more talented musically though and while they are definitely over-played, I still love the new music they put out. If you have ever seen them live, it is something amazing. At least 2+ hours straight for every concert they ever perform. Many of them 3 hours long.
I hope they never quit but I sense an extended break coming up soon due to all of them being involved in multiple side projects. |

So when Teen Spirit hit, it was the world COMING TO ME, even more than basking in the emergence of a new trend. |

This is extremely difficult but I go with Elvis just because he came first and I think he opened the door for a ton of things, the Beatles included.

Green day was the game changer, I agree with mccloud. |
Along the Elvis vs Beatles, I think if you look back at interviews etc you will find that the (early) Beatles mention Elvis as an influence much more than (any) Elvis.
Personally I blame Chuck Berry. |

Blink 182, Cake, and PotUSA were more influentual in that sphere. Not to knock Green Day [Again, I had Kerpunk before Dookie came out and Dookie before Basket Case was on MTV], but they're just a faster, more polished, punk riff. They were as 'influential' as The Black Crowes [who I also like] were in their genre. |

Agreeing with Dane is always the best reference too lol. |

The Seattle sound had been developing for the latter half of the 80's. Bands like Green River, Mudhoney and Soundgarden and so on. Soundgarden's "Badmotorfinger" was released in 1991 as well. The quintessential album of the 90's, IMO was Temple of the Dog, and it was released in 1990. Pearl Jam was created from the bones of Green River and Mother Love Bone. While I believe that Pearl Jam ecompasses all that is early 90's "Grunge", Nirvana didn't start the trend. Quote:

Furthermore, I have more backroom stories about the emergence of the Seattle Sound than you'll ever know. So go ahead and disagree with me all you want. I know the truth because in many cases, I was actually there. |

However, until the first showing of Teen Spirit on MTV, those acts were music geeks' little secrets. So Nirvana 'started the era' in the sense of authoritatively announcing its arrival and dominance for the next 5 years. A week before, Guns 'n' Roses were undisputed and deserved cocks of the walk. |
