As I was listening to this album, I was reading about it and saw a link to Kurt Cobain's top 50 albums... thought it'd be fun to list them here. How real or bogus this is, I don't know.

Are all my posts being taken over by Radiohead... oh no,,, the big radiohead monster is out and taking over the world!

Laughing Laughing Laughing

Anyways, what the hell with even mentioning radiohead. It is quite possible that Radiohead wasn't even a band when this was written for all we know. If they were, The Bends, their first good album, didn't come out until 1995... AFTER his death...

I find it interesting his choice of underground mixed with Pop.

That's the joke Seth. =P

But yeh, it's a pretty interesting list. I find some of the albums he chooses by certain bands over other to be a bit weird, like say Meet The Beatles over the late 60's stuff, or Combat Rock over LC. But it's a fun list. I wonder what this list would be rated on BEA though. =P

Hey, guess what, it's an opinion man. Deal with it, he's listened to them all and made his own opinion based on what he's heard. Besides, his favorite Radiohead album is Ok Computer anyways. It's not like he's saying Kurt is wrong for choosing that, he's just voicing surprise. There's no need to get bitter about it.
