Wierd pairings. Nevermind really showcased grunge in a big way bringing forth a lot of sound alikes. In that sense it's pretty influential, even though there were tons of artists at the time who had that sound then and before. It just globalized it. Loveless doesnt really fit in the category. That album showcases great sonic soundscapes that really don't show age. For me that album is timeless. I'd go with Loveless. Nevermind is still a good album though.

There are tracks on Nevermind that cause the hair to raise on my arms and my skin to tingle. Then, there's Loveless, the entire album, which causes my heart to palpitate, and a fine layer of sweat to form on my skin.
I go with Loveless, because a few tracks on Nevermind feel like filler to me. Say Cobain was a genius all you want, but that album is not even in my top 25.

Am going with Nevermind.
Nevermind is THE ALBUM that got me into Alternative Rock so I have a sentimental attachment to it. (I even got the recent super deluxe re-release!) ![]() My Bloody Valentine? Have just never been able to get into them. Have tried listening to their stuff several times over the years but to no avail. I love the Jesus and Mary Chain and Dinosaur Jr. so I know I like stuff that is similar, but just can't seem to get into it, man. |

i don't see the appeal of Nevermind at all, really, besides nostalgia
it's one side The Pixies and the other Melvins as i've said, gimme Bleach or In Utero any day hell, i'll even take Incesticide - it at least has its own character |

different record.
Nevermind is a great album, but the production on it is not as great. I mean, it is in it;s own right, but to me it is too poppy sounding as well. Had it been more raw, would have been greater. "Territorial Pissings" and "Breed" could have been improved with more rawness. The issue I have is not with the album itself, but with the way it was produced. "Bleach" would have been cool to hear re-recorded with Dave on drums, as Dave is a great drummer, Chad was just an alright one.
