    Dirt
    Hard time choosing between Dirt and Unplugged, but went with the one that got me hooked. Unplugged was just icing on the cake at that point.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Not just because of the singles, but the deep cuts are just as good...Rain When I Die, Hate To Feel, Sickman, Damn That River, Junkhead...perfect from beginning to end!

    Rain When I Die is one of my absolute favorites.

    Jar of Flies
    Jar Of Flies for me. I loved Dirt and it's what got me into AIC in the first place but JOF just blew my mind when it came out. From the first note of Rotten Apple I was sold. Layne's voice on that record gets me every time

    Dirt
    Dirt is a masterpiece from start to finish....listening a lot to facelift agin recently although as not as strong IMO as dirt there's quality songs we die young. Man in a box etc. recently was watching a concert from '93 on you tube from Frankfurt Germany I think layne staley just giving me chills what a vocalist, shame I never caught him live. Black give way to blue deserves a mention too.. Amazing record...

    I chickened out of picking one. All of their releases are solid.

    I do feel that the production of the last two albums is not on par with everything that came before. The earlier releases all sound great, especially on CD. (I know, I know.)

    Unplugged, Dirt, Jar of Flies and AIC are all still in heavy rotation for me.

    Hmm.. Now I need to put this on.

    Third best Unplugged of all time. Maybe second.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Jar of Flies
    Jar of Flies. I love that EP. I was a bit late to the AIC game. It was the radio play of No Excuses that got me into the band. I'm not sure if I like Jar of Flies so much because it's my first album, or the reason I got into AIC was because I was naturally attracted to the vibe of Jar of Flies.
