Dude Ranch was huge for me too, maybe bigger than this album, but I couldn't decide and didn't want to put any band on here more than once.

One of the best albums from the grunge scene because there's so many shoegaze and pop elements. It doesn't get a lot better than this. I love how industrial the guitars sound, even on slower songs like Rocket. Great tone and songwriting.

Edges out Dark Side because of the solo in the beginning of Shine On (1-5). I LOVE the heavily compressed sound.

At one point I wanted to make big songs like these. No one has done it as good as Brian Wilson did.

Has that quintessential 80's sound. Just enough heart and experimentation. Reminds me of the movie Say Anything.

I can recognize this collection of songs as some of the best rock songs ever written. It's not higher on the list because I was just 7 when it came out and they played the radio songs to death when I was growing up.
