MTV Unplugged in New York is, in my opinion, one of the best albums ever released. And then he killed himself. At least he went out on top. Such a tragedy. | ||

The Man who Sold the World Lake of Fire Lithium (the 1992 live at reading version) The entire live at reading album is just so intense. You can feel the energy in the crowd, always amazing to see captured on a CD | ||

Heh, I smile at all of you guys who are freaking out about how old you are because you were 12 or less when Nevermind came out. Christ, I was in high school... and I remember sitting in a drafting class with my friends, and instead of doing our work we would all be huddled around a drafting table writing down and trading the chords for these songs. There was no internet then or at least no internet that anyone had reliable access to (yeah, bloody ancient times), so the only way we could trade ideas and sheet music was at school. I was lucky enough to be around for the death of Punk, the rise of New Wave, the demise of hair bands, the birth of Grunge, the popularizing of Industrial, and how all of it came crashing down with the emergence of formulaic pop-music that is churned out (seemingly) for nothing but money. I've seen pretty much every major 90s band in concert numerous times, including Nirvana. It feels nice to look back on it all and know that I was witness to such a big cultural event (in terms of music). Somewhere, in the middle of this mob of people, is a younger me: (and if you've ever been to the Opera House in Toronto, you know how absolutely tiny it is... awesome). Personally, I think the 90s was the best decade for music in a long, long time. Albums like Nevermind are certainly part of that. I absolutely love the feeling I get when I put on old music like this - and I look forward to all of you music lovers in this thread having the same experience when you're my age  | ||

I was 11, so yeah, this is my generation. Five friends pooling their allowances to buy a single electric guitar, and all learning to play on it. None of us became particularly good, but you had to be pretty hardass to pursue a passion on that age. We sold playboys in school to get a second guitar. We all joined the school band so we could skip PE and use the band room to rehearse after school. The band provided us with a do not give a fuck attitude even at that age. We picked fights with high schoolers, mostly because we could run faster than them haha. There are better albums than Nevermind, but this one changed our lives. So fuck the other albums. Belated twentieth. | ||
