The fact that troutman omitted them from his list just goes to show how underrated they are.
My favourite of that era as well. They were the only good part of a Van Halen show that they opened in 91 or 92. Their new stuff is worth looking up as well.

BTW, I think Layne Staley's vocal style was ripped off a lot more than Vedder's from that time (Vedder actually wrote about it after Staley's death, hidden track at the end of "Bee Girl" from Pearl Jam's Lost Dogs.)
