Badmotorfinger? Above? Dirt? Temple of the Dog? Apple? Superfuzz? Bleach? Nevermind? In Utero? Mirrorball? Rehab Doll?

There are countless others. But mine would be Above (Mad Season).

It's timeless. it's so original.

    My favorite is also Above - Mad Season. A close second is Sweet Oblivion - Screaming Trees.

    yeah, if you had asked me back then, Dirt would have been my pick too. Sickman was on REPEAT. besides I Don't Know Anything, I didn't listen to Above that much at the time. But now, it's on constant rotation.

    could also add Singles Soundtrack to the mix. That one was on HEAVY rotation for a long time after it came out.

    Having only rediscovered Above - Mad Season again after so long i would have to say this, however Badmotorfinger and TOTD are tied for 2nd place
    Brixton '93
    Wembley '96
    Manchester '00
    Manchester x 2 '12

    The waiting drove me mad.

    1) Superunknown
    2) Everything Alice In Chains ever did

    Now, don't everyone piss themselves at once with what I'm about to say, but... the rest of grunge fuckin sucks.

    have you heard AIC's early tracks? they are glam metal. fun to listen to once, but awful as a catalog addition.

    that is a bold statement my friend. very, very bold. some would say big and bold.

    Wow, tough question. So tough to bypass Facelift, Dirt, and Incesticide.
