"I always wondered why these guys never did a Bond theme? I guess it's probably not a good idea to have a title sequence that's better than the actual movie." Reply

"These things are true: The sun is hot, the sky is blue, and Illmatic is the greatest hip-hop album of all time. This is Sergeant Pepper. This is Highway 61. This is hip hop's answer to an industry that screamed "you are not real art". There is no slip in lyric. There is no fault in beat. The haun..." [+] Reply

"Whether or not Pinkerton is better, you can't discredit how great this album is. Their carefree attitude of not giving a fuck about what people think and living life the way they want is arguably more punk than their gloomy alt rock predecessors. Plus, the music here is just too damn fun to not j..." [+] Reply

"Their arrogance turned me off when they were at their height of popularity, so I never listened to any of their albums. I must say it's a pleasure discovering this 27 years later. Thoroughly enjoying it start to finish. Driving 90's alternative with frequent nods to classic 70's rock. They certai..." [+] Reply

"This is one of the most well regarded live albums for a reason. Nirvana not only managed to make some of the best albums in the 90's, but arguably, one of the best live albums of all time. The whole thing feels laid back, yet right at home with what Nirvana usually sounds like. I get chills from ..." [+] Reply

"If someone told me even 5 years ago that I would ever profess to being a Nine Inch Nails fan, I would have called them a bald-faced liar. Even more so if they had said I would put one of their albums in my personal top ten. Yet, here we are, with The Downward Spiral claiming a position on my list..." [+] Reply

"The peak of Soundgarden's recording career. A brilliant masterpiece, one of the nineties great records. Black hole Sun, is obviously a standout, but there are a wealth of great songs here. My wave, spoonman, and, fell on black days, are all excellent. An album destined to be a classic." Reply

"I've had Gold Soundz stuck in my head for the last three days "because it's secret-cret cret cret cret cret cret cret cret right now!" This album was quite an eye (ear) opener when I first heard it." Reply

"Maybe not quite the decade's best, but it could be the most "90s" album I've heard. As a catalog of everyday British life in the dole age, it becomes a sort of a looking glass sequel to The Kink's Village Green Preservation Society. So many enjoyable tunes, particularly "Tracy Jacks" and "London ..." [+] Reply
