Number one is no surprise. Actually the top ten (at least) looks pretty much like one would expect. Though I'm surprised more Soundgarden songs didn't place higher than Temple of the Dog's Hunger Strike, not that I'm complaining. I always loved that song.

mentions

Nirvana - 16
Pearl Jam - 16
Alice In Chains - 15
Soundgarden - 12
Jimi Hendrix - 10

My only complaint is that Heart only got 2 mentions...

I have no idea why people think Seattle was all about grunge, and I'd better check the list for bands like Metal Church and Culprit and Forced Entry. In the mid-80's, Seattle was a hotbed of METAL!!!
