As well as being influential to grunge, they are also considered early pioneers in the alternative metal genre.

Grunge Rock
'Above [Deluxe Reissue]' is reissue by Mad Season. It contains the original album remastered, outtakes, and all recorded live appearances by the band.
Mad Season was an American rock supergroup formed in 1994 as a side project of members of other bands in the Seattle grunge scene. The band's principal members included guitarist Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, lead singer Layne Staley of Alice In Chains, drummer Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees, and bassist John Baker Saunders. The band released only one album, 'Above', in March 1995. It was certified a gold record by the RIAA in June. The band went on a semi-permanent hiatus in 1996 due to the band members' conflicting schedules and Staley's problems with substance abuse. Attempts were made in the late 1990s to revive the group with Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan instead of Staley, and material for a follow-up release to Above had been worked on. The band permanently dissolved in 1999 following the death of bassist John Baker Saunders from a drug overdose. Staley would also die from an overdose three years later. Martin and McCready have since made two short partial reunions, one in 2012 and one from 2014 to 2015.

[Album]
10 February 1998
Alternative Rock
'Let It Come Down' is the first solo album by James Iha. It was released in 1998, during which Iha was still with Smashing Pumpkins, before the release of 'Adore' (1998). Iha took on a more acoustic country sound reminiscent of the songs he contributed to the Pumpkins, notably shying away from the darker sound of Billy Corgan's songwriting. Iha had said that the quieter tone of the songs reflected the fact that many of them were written in his hotel rooms during the Smashing Pumpkins tours, and he did not want to disturb other guests by playing too loudly.
James Yoshinobu Iha (Iha Yoshinobu - born March 26, 1968) is an American rock musician. He is best known as the secondary guitarist and co-founder of the alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins. He was a member until the band's initial breakup in 2000 and rejoined in 2018. Iha has produced songs, contributed guitar and vocals and produced remixes for a number of artists, including Midnight Movies, Isobel Campbell, Marilyn Manson, Whiskeytown, Scott Weiland and Michael Stipe.

3 November 1993
Classic Rock
'Stone Free, A Tribute To Jimi Hendrix' is a various artists album tribute to Jimi Hendrix. The artists were drawn from many genres of popular music. Contributors include his classic rock contemporaries Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, bluesman Buddy Guy, classical violinist Nigel Kennedy, alternative pop/rock bands Belly and Spin Doctors, hip hop artists P.M. Dawn, among others. Several artists recorded radically different interpretations, particularly, P. M. Dawn, The Cure, Nigel Kennedy and Pat Metheny. Some artists, on the other hand, recorded versions that were rather similar to the originals. The band M.A.C.C. is made up of Mike McCready (guitarist from Pearl Jam), Jeff Ament (bassist from Pearl Jam), Matt Cameron (drummer for Soundgarden and later for Pearl Jam), and Chris Cornell (singer of Soundgarden and later Audioslave). Eric Clapton's backing group on the title track includes the three original core members of Chic (Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson) and is the last recording on which all three played together.
James Marshall 'Jimi' Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, songwriter and singer. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as the greatest and one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music."

'Rock Around the Clock' is the third compilation album Bill Haley And His Comets. It was, like the two albums that preceded it, a compilation album of previously issued singles. Eight of the album's twelve songs had been released by Decca earlier in 1955 as the compilation album Shake, Rattle And Roll, but unlike the previous album, which was in the 10-inch vinyl format, Rock Around The Clock was a 12-inch vinyl release, so it had space for four additional tracks from 1955. The album was the first by Haley to make the Billboard charts, and was also one of the first album releases in the rock and roll genre to do so
