Kurt Cobain's Top 50 Albums Listen Through

[HarleyQuinn]

Alfie and I got to discussing... Anybody try this? I figured we could post random thoughts about any albums listened to.

His list: http://www.angelfire.com/rock3/nirvana81/kurttop.htm

I listened to The Breeders - POD last night (again) and damn that entire thing just kills. I'd make an argument that it's one of the poppiest albums of the 1990s. Top songs include Doe, Hellbound, and When I Was a Painter.

Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth, is something that your average close-minded music fan would likely find boring. I on the other hand, love it to death. The overall sound achieved by their minimalist approach is what made me a repeated listener. I can't pick out anything specific from the original 15-song LP tracklist, as I enjoy them all. Great album.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Everyone should listen to The Raincoats

 

[Incandenza]

Green was his favorite R.E.M. album?

 

[Incandenza]

Also, yeah, Colossal Youth. Arguably one of the best one-offs there is.

 

[Smartly Pretty]

Everyone should listen to The Raincoats

I thoroughly agree with this sentiment.

I think my favorite album on Kurt's list is probably Jamboree.

Green was his favorite R.E.M. album?

The Man Who Sold the World being his favourite Bowie album is way more ???, even if it kind of makes sense since he covered the title track.

 

[GunsNMoses]

The Shaggs and MDC make his top ten, huh? Then again, his #2 is my go-to #1.

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

Raw Power is my least favorite Stooges album.

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

Nice list though. Particularly like the Fang and Saccharine Trust mentions. Two excellent underrated punk albums.

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Raw Power is my least favorite Stooges album.

I think you may be forgetting one. Not that I blame you.

 

[Incandenza]

No, the Stooges never made another album. I don't know what you're talking about.

That said, the real Stooges stinker is the s/t!
