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.
