I think I did come across as if I don't like Nevermind, but I do. I just think that, even though it has marked a major turning point in the music industry, it's overrated for what it's worth because I've heard a lot of grunge albums that I simply do prefer over Nevermind, while they never get mentioned among the masses because they weren't the first one around.

As for OK Computer: For one, I haven't heard an album quite like it, let alone one that was better than OKC, and two, I am a Radiohead fanboy so bias is present. I know that ain't right but it is that way.

The masses are not really going to dig all the other grunge albums that you're probably referring to, as they don't have the pop melodies of Nevermind weaved into them. The general populace like something with melody, something they can sing and hum to as well. For that reason alone Nevermind was groundbreaking. As said before, I think its one of the best and most important albums ever recorded, even though they are not my favourite grunge band. BTW I don't think Bleach is anything special.

I remember when Bleach came out, they were playing every toilet in the UK playing third on the bill to bands like Silverfish & Bomb Disneyland, and those bands were making albums a hell of a lot better than Bleach was.
Silverfish couldn't touch Bleach with any of their records. Fat Axl was garbage. I hate their female vocalist, not only is she a twat but she can't sing a lick.

I'll give you Bomb Disneyland/Everything, those guys are flatout good thrash, Guess What is a great album.

I guess i'm one of the hipster guys who thinks Bleach was a great record, i'll live with it.

Sure. I find their rythym section generic. I think the singer has a very average dull voice. I gave them every chance to like them, my friend is a devout fan and has burned their stuff for me. Its just not my thing. I think they are terrible, thats just my opinion. They have a great following for an indie band. I have the same problem with Jimmy Eat World. But anyway enough of that.

I've heard This is a long drive, The lonesome crowded west, and The moon and Antarctica. I understand Johnny Marr was added at a later date for their rythym section, so maybe i missed the albums he was a member of.
