man you might as well just ask me to chose my righticle over my lefticle.

Violent & Funky · 02-19-2010, 01:17 AM

Maybe it should be a top 3 plus include an album you feel is underrated?

mr dave · 02-19-2010, 01:21 AM

i'm actually just kidding around haha i'll pick one over the weekend. way overtired at the moment, plus i'm sure there will be people who'll be "incapable" of simply sticking to a single album.

Wow, it's a random but thoughtful topic. Blood Sugar Sex Magik gets my vote.
and totally get you on the "incapableness" of picking one good album... esp. if you're an alternative junkie. haha cause i'm one too.

What a great record! One of my favorites for sure.

Definitely an amazing album, and I spent a good portion of 1991 wearing it the **** out.
It reminds me in a way of MJ's Off the Wall in that it's the under-appreciated masterpiece that really served as the foundation of one egomaniac's delusions of grandeur and was subsequently followed by a long string of popular and lauded albums that really could not compare.
