I admit if i want a Nirvana fix i turn to In Utero 9/10 but i still think Nevermind has a lot of merit. IV is one of Zep's most dynamic offerings, it brings so much more to the table than what you're suggesting and fuses many influences to create something brimmming with power and soul. OK Computer i think is transcendant of time and space. Alienation, stagnation and anxiety are unfortunately synonymous with the human condition and i think lyrically there are few better albums that explore this so succinctly. Plus i still think it is very relevant in todays social climate. As for Neutral Milk Hotel, i dont see what they and Talk Talk have in common? All i can say is i love the music.
