Was it <a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/tags\/alice-in-chains\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alice in Chains<\/a>, who gave us <em>Facelift<\/em>, <em>Dirt<\/em> and their self-titled album or <a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/tags\/pearl-jam\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pearl Jam<\/a> who dropped <em>Ten<\/em>, <em>Vs.<\/em> and <em>Vitalogy<\/em> in succession? That&#8217;s the big challenge facing you in <em>Loudwire Nights<\/em>&#8216; Chuck&#8217;s Fight Club this week.<\/p>\n<p>Alice in Chains were actually releasing music ahead of the big grunge boom of &#8217;91, dropping <em>Facelift<\/em>\u00a0that gave us &#8220;We Die Young,&#8221; &#8220;It Ain&#8217;t Like That&#8221; and &#8220;Man in the Box.&#8221; They&#8217;d follow in 1992 with the massive album, <em>Dirt<\/em>, featuring &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Nco_kh8xJDs?si=I5UeU_FWMaOKFGRq\" target=\"_blank\">Would?<\/a>,&#8221; &#8220;Them Bones,&#8221; &#8220;Rooster,&#8221; &#8220;Angry Chair&#8221; and &#8220;Down in a Hole.&#8221; And their third big &#8217;90s album was 1995&#8217;s self-titled set that gave us &#8220;Grind,&#8221; &#8220;Heaven Beside You&#8221; and &#8220;Again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the other side of this battle is Pearl Jam, who rode the wave of grunge breaking while doing a lot of the heavy lifting with 1991&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Ten<\/em>. That record gave us &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qM0zINtulhM?si=7yTUpf_btSCaX1ZF\" target=\"_blank\">Alive<\/a>,&#8221; &#8220;Even Flow,&#8221; &#8220;Jeremy&#8221; and &#8220;Black.&#8221; They would return in 1993 with <em>Vs.<\/em>, a deep record that gave us such standouts as &#8220;Daughter,&#8221; &#8220;Go,&#8221; &#8220;Animal&#8221; and &#8220;Rearviewmirror.&#8221; And finishing out their three album run was 1994&#8217;s <em>Vitalogy <\/em>that served up &#8220;Spin the Black Circle,&#8221; &#8220;Not for You,&#8221; &#8220;Immortality&#8221; and &#8220;Better Man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Both massively successful three-album runs, but which was better?\u00a0As with all Chuck&#8217;s Fight Club battles,\u00a0<em>Loudwire Nights<\/em>\u00a0host Chuck Armstrong will introduce the matchup in the 8PM hour (this week on Tuesday due to the holiday).
