For me it is they have a unique sound and feel that other grunge bands do not emulate. I can't put my finger on it exactly but I like them a lot. I am not even really into music, but they are one of my favorite bands.

That's because they didn't do grunge. Listen to Alice in Chains, Treepeople, Paw, Stone Temple Pilots and Seaweed to hear what grunge sounds like.

i mean, I wouldn't consider the beatles or the rolling stones one of the best bands either it's all opinion... I love nirvana and the beatles though not my favorite. But then again I liked Plastic Ono Band better than any beatles album. van dyke parks did more innovative things than either of those bands did and I'm sure someone else did more innovative things than him.

NIrvana realesed one of my favorite albums ever... in utero, that's why i consider them great... ya only need one album!

 I mean if you're going to dissect, grunge is just a combination of genre's... with really hazy lines. I mean nirvana's sound definately falls somewhere in between... alice in chains,  STP, meatpuppets, mudhoney, or soundgarden. Which are all called grunge bands just like Nirvana is.

But, I wouldn't say grunge bands try to emulate nirvana's sound more like imo crappy post-grunge bands like... puddle of mudd, and staind or whatever... etc
