Nevermind»rank: 474by: Nirvana
: :Japanese special edition of this classic original album re-released on CD and packaged in a 12 x 12 inch album sized LP replica sleeve with all the original artwork and tracks. Universal. 2005. :lf Nevermind's sound is familiar now, it's only because thousands of rock records that followed it were trying very hard to cop its style. lt tears out of the speakers like a cannonball, from the punk-turbo-charged riff of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' onward, magnifying and distilling the ... |

rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991-2003)»rank: 1010by: Pearl Jam
: :ln an era when pop nihilism fulfilled its dark promise all too regularly, Pearl Jam not only survived, but thrived to become one of rock's greatest bands. This 33-track double-disc career retrospective documents the arc of a career that went from arena and radio triumphs in the early 90's (while Nirvana's promise imploded in the wake of hype, Pearl Jam's crowd-pleasing fame only burgeoned) to the uncompromising, core audience-focused tack that carried the band into the 21st century. Shrewdly compiled by ... |

MTV Unplugged in New York»rank: 1230by: Nirvana
: :Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing. Universal. 2008. essential recording:The last Nirvana collection recorded before the untimely death of Kurt Cobain, Unplugged caught many by surprise with its stripped down, neo-acoustic offerings with a bridled fury. When Cobain sings, 'l swear l don't have a gun, l don't have a gun' with clenched teeth (instead of an open howl) and when the haunting strains of 'About a Girl'--from their earliest LP--chills ... |

The Colour and the Shape»rank: 1426by: Foo Fighters
: :lncludes the bonus tracks Requiem, Drive Me Wild, Down ln The Park, Baker St, Dear Lover and Color & Shape. Amazon.co.uk:A major criticism of the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut was its supposed lack of passion despite the well-crafted songs and well-crafted rock. This time out, if it's wreckage you want, it's wreckage you get. The Colour and the Shape grows deeper the more it's played, with the band's ripping power is more than matched by Dave Grohl's fascinating examinations of ... |

Ten»rank: 1624by: Pearl Jam
: essential recording:Part of the '90s Seattle grunge triumvirate completed by Nirvana and Soundgarden, Pearl Jam debuted with Ten, their most accessible, least self-conscious album. 0ver time, PJ's rep as a politically correct band just a little too above it all to prostitute its music on MTV has nearly superseded the music. But before that, they were a simply an in-your-face, in-your-head, loud, melodic rock band. And lead singer Eddie Vedder was known for his possessed stage presence and a primal ... |

In Utero»rank: 1844by: Nirvana
: :1993 Geffen release, the band's final studio album with the 7:33 long 'Gallons 0f Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip' added as a bonus track that is listed on the back inlay of the jewel case, but is hidden on the disc itself, since the CD scans only 12 tracks. 13 tracks total, also including the alternative hits 'All Apologies', 'Heart- Shaped Box', 'Milk lt' and 'Rape Me'. The CD is a color picture disc. essential recording:0verwhelmed by sudden ... |

Core»rank: 2695by: Stone Temple Pilots
: :Though lambasted in some quarters as cynical clones of the then-vaunted 'Seattle sound' (in particular, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam) STP's 1993 debut nonetheless found a considerable following for its potent crunch and sly hooks. While some tracks do seem to ape the era's grunge ethos a bit too slavishly, there's also a sense that perhaps Weiland and company were merely sharing some of the same influences as their contemporaries--and on standouts like the riff-savvy 'Sex Type Thing' and the ... |

Siamese Dream»rank: 1867by: Smashing Pumpkins
: essential recording:An introductory drum roll drops out and is replaced by a single suspended electric guitar, which is then paralleled by a snare, filled in with the bass, and--crash!--'Cherub Rock,' the opening track, is enveloped in an explosion of metal guitar. So the journey begins. This album is pre-experimentation vintage Pumpkins. Produced by Butch Vig (Garbage, Sonic Youth, Nirvana's Nevermind), Siamese Dream is first about guitars. Lots and lots of guitars. A very close second is Jimmy Chamberlain's unquestionably excellent ... |

Temple of the Dog»rank: 1701by: Temple of the Dog
: :This 1991 Seattle supergroup brought together Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron of Soundgarden with the surviving members of Mother Love Bone (Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard) and Eddie Vedder, later of Pearl Jam. The experiment worked. Cornell shines, seeming more comfortable here on this tribute to his former roommate and deceased MLB lead singer Andrew Wood than with his own band. 'Hunger Strike' and 'Say Hello 2 Heaven' combine glam and grunge better than anything in Love Bone's catalog, while 'Wooden Jesus' ... |
