    Becker described the song well... " The protagonist is not a musician but he sort of imagines that that would be one of the mythic forms of loserdom to which he might aspire. And who's to say that he`s not right?"

    I need to cull some music off my Ipod and replace with something new. However, I already own 90% of the greatest records ever made and I don't like 'new' music.

    Suggestions. :popcorn:

    Would have thought Nevermind would have made the US list, at least above Come on fucking Over by Shania Twain.

    Only sold 10 million or so copies in the US....which puts it way, way down the list.
    To put it in perspective, Creed, Kid Rock, Green Day, Linkin Park all have all an album which outsold 'Nevermind'...

    That makes me sad, it's probably the defining album of that decade

    You know it's the truth. Everybody knows the album cover if they're not blind and everyone knows the first song from it if they're not deaf. It's just basic facts.

    Adele is the Al Jolson of the 21st Century

    her next album should be called "Yessuh, Boss"

    I disagree, they're just written in a very non-linear fashion. Lithium is pop perfection. Still though, it is the defining album of the 90's.

    Weak era though.
    Look what competition it has:
    OK Computer - Radiohead
    Achtung Baby - U2
    Automatic For The People - R.E.M
    Metallica - Metallica
    Blood Sugar Sex Magick - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
    (What's The Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis
    Superunknown - Soundgarden
    Ten - Pearl Jam
    Dirt - Alice In Chains
    Dookie - Green Day
    Use Your Illusion - Guns 'n' Roses


    That's off the top of my head, re: 'rock' music albums, there's some good stuff there, but nothing totally stellar...

    ^ Offspring too
    and Rage Against the Machine
    Smashing Pumpkins



    these bands had albums that were up there...90'scompetition is pretty decent
    this is before we can get into pop (like Michael Jackson's Dangerous) and then there's rap.

    Grunge was the biggest musical "movement" of the 90's (in a global sense), and Nirvana were at the forefront of it, with Nevermind being the breakthrough album. I'm not saying it's the best album of the 90's, heck it's not even my favourite Nirvana album, but the impact it made on popular culture can't be denied.
