I've recently become a little obsessed with all things 80's-90's, a leap from my usual 60's-70's listening.
Sonic Youth, Hole, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins to name a few. one main requirement being gritty, guitar driven, distorted bliss. Best consumed with coffee and cigarettes.
Grunge is totally back for me, it being the first genre I listened to in my attempt to break free from main stream radio listening (93.1 Star FM, Wagga Wagga) at the age of 13.
This summer will be my summer of grunge, no wave, noise rock and alt rock.
Sweet as.

Why the fuck am I writing this, no one cares..hehe cept me
(for people who are either very bored or have no life, i think the problem is i just listen to too much damn music)

. Alice in Chains- MTV Unplugged. if u can, watch the video. Lane= amazing

. Beatles- Rubber Soul & The White Album. can never pick 1, annoying huh?

. The Breeders- Last Splash. so lovely, no aloha

. Butthole Surfers- Electriclarryland. ...interesting

. The Clash- London Calling. cliche choice but so good

. Dinosaur Jr- Where You Been?. great guitar, & puts me in a weird mood

. The Doors- Soft Parade. YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER !

. Dr. Dog- We All Belong. good all the way thru, especially for a current band

. Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention- Absolutely Free. an entire musical, condensed. For some stupid reason, Lastfm only has descriptions if you look it up under just Frank Zappa, but I believe in crediting the whole band

. Hole- Live Through This. very cliche choice, but 1 of the best albms of the 90s

. Iggy Pop- Lust for Life. meet me at the coffee shop, we can dance like Iggy Pop

. The Jimi Hendrix Experience- Electric Ladyland. ...& the gods made love

. Led Zeppelin- Led Zeppelin II. and every other Zep album until Physical Graffiti, lol

. Leonard Cohen- The Songs of Leonard Cohen. kindof folk-y, like Dylan cept different

. Lou Reed- Transformer. probly have listened to it 1000 times, good to chill to

. Melvins- HOUDINI. Melvins rule

. Metallica- Kill 'em All. again, have probly listened 2 it 1000 times in my life..so far

. Misfits- Static Age. and everything else from the Danzig era

. every Nirvana song created ever. hehe im not that much of a fan, hahahaha

. Paul Gilbert- Acoustic Samurai. get ready to have your mind raped. (Thank You Alex, who is reading this now and will probably write " i hate u " in the comment box)

. Paul McCartney- Ram. makes me happy, and has its own sound separate from his other stuff

. Pink Floyd- The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. the only amazing Floyd album

. Pixies- Surfer Rosa. yes yes yes i know how amazingly cliche i am

. Replacements- Let It Be. We are the Replacements, Dont ask why.

. She & Him-Volume 1. bring on Volume 2 !

. The Smiths- Meat Is Murder. its death for no reason & death for no reason is murder

. Sonic Youth- Daydream Nation. i am so sorry everyone, for yet another cliche choice...Thurston is epically cool..i just created a new term lol

. Spinnerette- Spinnerette. that was redundant.haha

. Suicidal Tendencies- Suicidal Tendencies. again, more redundancy,hahaha

. Syd Barrett-. The Madcap Laughs. i love Syd

. Tool- Ænima. holy fucking god

. Van Halen- Van Halen I. was there ever a more perfect 1st album, ever...
