    Alanis Morissette (Jagged Little Pill is awesome)

    Dookie was their third album. And is nowhere near their best, Nimrod and AI both trump it.

    Mogwai peaked with Young Team, their 1st full length LP. Then again, it pretty much brought a whole new 'genre' or 'style' of music to being (commercially atleast). Landmark record to say the least. Luckily all of their following output in consistent in quality.
  • Days of the New
    Candlebox

    I had such high hopes for both of these bands.
  • Third Eye Blind

    Weezer (If you don't like the Blue Album I don't know if we can be friends)

    i think pinkerton was better than the blue album.

    the breeders are my pick. pod is still their best i think.
    also danzig I is probably my favorite and by 6:66 his stuff turned into a joke.

    though the band is crappy all around. creeds first album didnt suck near as bad as those that followed.

    Perhaps #1 was best, but others are damn good, too IMHO.

    3rd album - Out of the Vein - is excellent, as well. The record company did NOTHING to promote it. Supposedly, a new album is due in 2008 - The Hideous Strength.

    oh yeah,her! Did she even release a follow up? she just seemed never to resurface again, actually there was a rather embarassing video with her naked on board a train but seem to think that was some time after Jagged Little Pill which, by the way(I know your fascinated)was a consistent run o´tuneful songs.
  • Queens Of The Stone Age
  • Breaking Benjamin comes to mind right away. I don't really feel like thinking of others.
