1. (=)

NevermindNirvana
Nirvana's Masterpiece showed the world in 1991 that the rock music wasn't dead, and that the old formula of drums/bass/guitar could work better than ever. Smells Like Teen Spirit shocked the world and Something In The Way remains one of the most misterious songs ever. Best album i've ever listened to.

RevolverThe Beatles
The Greatest Band ever reached the top of the world in 1966. Revolver shot down every doubts that could exist about the abilities from this guys. 45 years after it was made, it still sounds fresh .

Wish You Were HerePink Floyd
An album that takes me to another universe when played. Not every album is able to do that. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of the most underrated songs ever.

The BendsRadiohead
I remember getting this album and listening only to High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees. Then it grew on me, and it seems almost perfect.

FuneralArcade Fire
Began as one of the worst albums ever in my opinion, and ended in my top 10. One of the most beautiful things i've ever listened to. Wake Up really gets me everytime i listen to it.

OK ComputerRadiohead
This is pure Alternative music. Paranoid Android is the Bohemian Rhapsody of the 90's. Karma Police is really one of my favorite songs. It really deserves to be named one of the best albums ever.

Unplugged In New YorkNirvana
The guys who were growling and yelling when they began, just grabbed accoustic instruments and played sitting in chairs. The result is an almost perfect album.

Some great choices...maybe a bit too much Nirvana for me, but otherwise very good.

I never really thought about it but "God only knows where I'd be without you" has got to be one of the best lines ever

Interesting choices, though too heavy handed on Nirvana. I definitely want to check out the Portuguese artists as I am a huge fan of Brazilian music myself.

Muse: Phenomenal live and a great band on its own right (nothing to do with Radiohead in my opinion)
The Great Escape (Blur's best album, Charmless Man is my favorite Blur song ever, I think I will probably put them in my chart)
Without a couple of records I've never heard this is a great chart
