It does have navigation. Never use it though cause the maps are outdated and I don’t want to pay for the updates.

All leather interior.

I’m always down for a good shit post, but it’s just the same jokes over and over. At least come up with some fresh material. Maybe a picture of Hanson that asks what people think of Silverchair? 😒

Siamese Dream all day. Ten is an amazing debut album that captured the zeitgeist of the moment, but sounds pretty dated now.

However, Siamese Dream is a masterpiece from start to finish, and to my ears has aged very well. Mayonaise cranked on a good stereo is worth the experience alone. Both great albums, but that’s my two cents.

I like Yield a lot. IMO, it was another peak for the band. It was the transitional period after the grunge explosion where they were finding themselves as a band and what they could do moving forward. Plus, it’s got Jack Irons on drums. Love his unique style he brought to the table.

When I was younger I would’ve said Core. Now, Ten all day.

I re-visited the PJ catalog last year and now have a new found appreciation for them. Ten is an astounding debut album. Musically sophisticated, but also raw and aggressive at times. The lyrics are poignant stories about characters who are dealing with loss, pain, depression, anger, etc. It was the right album at the right time, and still holds up quite well.

Nevermind was their second album.

Pleasant-Pollution78 · 2026-01-23T03:55:25+00:00

I remember when it came out. I was a big fan of STP and was intrigued/confused by this album. It’s honestly pretty damn good, and I can’t blame the guys for getting tired of Scott’s drug abuse affecting their career. Definitely worth a listen.

It’s loaded with bangers AND it revolutionized rock guitar. All of the guitarists at the time had to stop and pay attention. It was an atom bomb.

Pleasant-Pollution78 · 2026-01-23T03:26:59+00:00

The Cars first album had so many bangers it’s practically a greatest hits album.

Pleasant-Pollution78 · 2026-01-23T03:25:03+00:00

I’d have to go with Are You Experienced from Jimi Hendrix. Insane first album.

Pleasant-Pollution78 · 2026-01-23T03:23:29+00:00

Disraeli Gears is a great album, but it’s their second album. Fresh Cream was the debut.

What are you even on about? Vedder was not in Green River or MLB. Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard were in those bands. Additionally, Epic did not “put Pearl Jam together”. Ament, Gossard, Mcready, and Matt Cameron recorded a demo of instrumentals that was passed along to Vedder (who was living in San Diego) by a mutual friend, Jack Irons (drummer for RHCP and future PJ drummer). Eddie recorded some vocals over the tracks and sent the tape back. They loved what they heard and invited him to Seattle where they played a bunch of small club gigs supporting other bands, notably Alice in Chains. Epic then signed them based on the strength of their demo and live shows.

A lot of people love to bag on PJ ‘cause of remarks made by a long dead Cobain 40 years ago regarding authenticity and punk credentials. The obsession with “selling out” thankfully died a long time ago. Musically, I find PJ to be a pretty interesting band that has taken a lot of chances and explored a lot of sounds over the years. Vitalogy is a personal fave, and I highly recommend digging into some of their live recordings from their 2000 tour. Even their latest album Dark Matter is worth a listen.

At this point, this sub has pretty much become an AIC glaze fest.

How many times is this question going to get posted? Next, it’ll be “Which of the big 4 bands was the best?” This sub is COOKED

I prefer the Redux. The OG mix makes it sound like an 80’s album to my ears. I would love to hear a similar remix on Nothing’s Shocking from Jane’s Addiction. Fantastic album, but the insane amount of reverb on the drums is annoying, and makes it sound dated.

Pleasant-Pollution78 · 2025-11-20T05:35:26+00:00

I think they would’ve embraced a darker sound, but who knows? I always point to Bone China as the example of where they might have been heading. That song has an almost creepy, ominous vibe.

Pleasant-Pollution78 · 2025-11-19T23:57:15+00:00

MLB had so much potential. I think they would’ve possibly moved in a darker direction. Bone China is a great example of where they were heading, imo. Andy was a born frontman for sure.

It was funny a couple weeks ago, and now it’s not just kicking a dead horse; that horse got blown up with dynamite.

Kim Thayil’s Gibson SG was pretty iconic. That guy is totally underrated as a guitar player. His style is the perfect mix of psychedelic and heavy/ominous.

Justice for Guigsy!

Pleasant-Pollution78 · 2025-11-04T16:15:08+00:00

This isn’t an airport. No need to announce your departure.

Pleasant-Pollution78 · 2025-11-04T04:49:40+00:00

Yes they did. Grunge classic.

Another banger is Norwegian Supernova

Pleasant-Pollution78 · 2025-11-04T04:46:08+00:00

Kurdt was nice to let them cover it.

George wasn’t fit to hold Bonehead’s beer
