    Badmotorfinger/Superunknown would suit my tastes.

    I have never listened to any of these albums. I feel ashamed.

    R U f**king serious?

    Oh wow. You have years of listening enjoyment ahead of you.
    Growing up my parents listened to the Beatles, John Denver, Beach Boys and random 60's rock.  However they never played Zep or Pink Floyd.  I'll give each of them a sample today.
    I was going through my records yesterday and came up with this list.

    Pink Floyd and Zeppelin are my all time faves.

    I don't listen to them much anymore (Floyd more than Zep), but I tip my cap to them anytime I have the opportunity to do so.

    Floyd is more 'personal' (headphones) and unique- best for a melancholy mood... and Zep is more 'shared' (loud)- best for a gathering or good time mood.

    That's the way, respectively, I feel about Radiohead and Oasis.

    No Rattle & Hum on your initial list?

    Hmmmmm, seems like I messed up. Forgot about rattle and hum being in between the two. Solid album for sure.

    I thought about that but picked it anyway. Actually U2 was great from Boy-October-War-The Unforgettable Fire-Joshua Tree-Rattle & Hum. After that, I started to lose interest. Angel of Harlem is one of my favorite U2 songs.

    I think R&H would have been better if they separated the studio tracks from the live ones - too much of a "mish mash" as it is. In any event, I would put JT and AB in my top ten list for sure. Great, great albums.

    I'd go with the second one over the first. Gish doesn't have enough for me (although MCIS may have too much!)

    Siamese Dream is a masterpiece.

    Agreed!

    Although there are some who list The Bends and OKC, instead.

    I tried forever to get into Radiohead and just couldn’t do it.

    Not even the 1990's stuff??? The Bends is usually a good starting point for a nineties-rocker like yourself (and me)!

    Same with Angel!

    When they started playing it two shows ago in Vancouver... I was ecstatic!

    I tried and it just wasn’t my cup of tea.  I wanted to like them real bad but I just couldn’t.

    Of the choices listed, PJ, U2, & DMB would be my top 3.  Not sure which order but they are all great 1-2 punches.  I kind of agree with Rattle & Hum being too much of a mish-mash in between to really be considered a true album (even though it is great).

    Some other good back-to-back homers:

    Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 25
