Pearl Jam and Soundgarden sucked. Any chance I had of ever liking them was killed by Houston radio, which played nothing but Tejano, country, bad club/dance music and a format that I like to call "All Pearl Jam All the Time."
Jane's addiction has never really done anything for me, except for their first commercially successful single. As for the Pumpkins, they are one of the few reasons I have for sometimes wishing I lived somewhere other than Chicago.

Pearl Jam is solid. Not great; not bad.
Soundgarden has some classics. Badmotorfinger is a fantastic record. So is Superunknown.
The Pumpkins have some great records, but they could have been a lot better if they had a singer. Corgan is the worst voice in rock. They sound great live, if you can ignore his yelping.
I think over time, of all of them, STP will wind up being most most widely copied and played. They were not the Grand Funk of Grunge, as people claimed. They have the strongest mainstream song collection of the decade.
