Ten - 1991 The finest of all the 'grunge' era albums. Probably the best album of the 90's. I'm sure you won't agree but this is my page so I can say whatever I want.
Every song on this album is great & it brought so called 'alternative rock' to the masses. Ever since the Cobain suicide, Nirvana gets all the grunge credit - without
Ten Nirvana would have never been as popular as they were. If I were stranded somewhere with only one album to kill the time it would be this one. The song Ýellow Ledbetter'came out of the album sessions.
Ten defined the 90's. It gets my vote for greatest album in the history of the universe ever.
Vs. - 1993 The second album by Pearl Jam is a rock solid follow up. Most of the songs are a little more raw than those of the first album, with the obvious exceptions of 'Daughter' & 'Elderly Woman...' If anyone wasn't convinced of the groups legitimacy by
Ten, they surely were by
Vs. - Songs on this album included fucking classics like 'Leash', 'Go', & 'Dissident' along with the two mentioned previously.
Vitalogy - 1994 The last of the grunge albums. This album is the first to have what I'd call outright 'filler' tracks. While few songs like 'Aye Davanita', 'Bugs', & 'Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me' leave something to be desired. Still full of great songs though - 'Nothingman' is excellent, 'Spin the Black Circle' jams & 'Corduroy' & 'Better Man' are amazing songs... This album has an even more unpolished 'raw' sound than Vs.
I was gonna do all the albums but I ended up getting tired so I'll stop here for now... I'm not doing all the live albums either cause theres a fuckin shitload of them. I have alot of live shows on my ipod... the show at Benaroya Hall is pretty bitchin though.
No Code is the next album... I'll pick it up from there one day... my mind tends to wander so I start and stop shit abruptly sometimes.
