Well Nevermind is just considered to be “one of those albums” now. A music essay or list isn't truely complete without a mention of this record. I think it's great, but I'd say In Utero is my favourite by some distance. I'm not saying that to be different, but Serve The Servants and Dumb are my two favourite tracks of theirs.
If I were to make a Top 100 list, Nevermind wouldn't be on it. Sure it was the album that ushered in a new era of rock music, but for some reason, it hasn't appealed to me. In Utero was louder, less polished, and a more somber record, which is probably why that album gets played on my stereo more than Nevermind. |

I do like Nightswimming for some reason though, also one off the more rocky "Monster" album. |

I like that one What's The Frequency Kenneth? That’s an awesome song. I'm not much of a fan, but I own their best of. Not the first one, but the latter compilation with all the hits on it. |

Rubbish. I don't agree with Radiohead being number 1 and 2, but do you really think this list would be different anywhere else? If this list were to be carried out in America and it was new American generation, do you think the list would greatly differ? Of course it wouldn't! The Stones don't have much of an influence on today’s crop of bands on BOTH sides of the Atlantic. With them not been cited as influences, today’s guitar music loving kids are not picking up with them. See my earlier points about The Beatles. 10 years ago they were being praised by Oasis, now they're not and they're slipping down these lists. 10 years ago you'd get 4 or 5 of theirs in the top 10. New wave and baggy bands influence today’s great bands. The Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division, The Stone Roses and EVEN Oasis are cited as major influences now and lets face it, the image a lot of youngsters have of The Stones is one of 4 old wrinkles. To you, and me they are the greatest things in the world, but could you blame youngsters for not seeing the appeal? Yeah, it's just SO COOL to like a band your parents or even grand parents liked! |
