Don't get me wrong, I think the Chronic is an amazing album, but just off the top of my head, 36 Chambers, Only Built for Cuban Linx…, Supreme Clientele, and Liquid Swords are all superior records, and that's just Wu-Tang.

I'm getting that info from the liner notes on the actual record, the liner notes on the deluxe edition, Wikipedia's page on the album, various books on Marley, and pretty much everything else I've ever read about the creation of that album.

…and I wasn't in a marching band either.

I was in a third-wave ska band. I have no regrets. That was the most successful band I've ever been in. Hundreds of people came to our shows, even though we were just teenagers at the time, and we had a lot of fun. I don't really listen to that genre of music anymore (I quickly moved on to traditional ska and then to

I will never forget a couple of incidents involving Nirvana that were horrifying to me:

I would love to hear a strictly 90s radio station. Even if it was stuff I didn't like at the time, I'd definitely be more familiar with it than the current stuff on the radio.

I'm pretty sure being a junkie didn't help him overcome the skinny woman-boy look at all.

Arsenio, I like that "neutered shitrock" comment.

Meddle is righteous.

Abbruzzesse is the best drummer Pearl Jam ever had. Don't get me wrong, I love Matt Cameron, but I still think Cameron is way more suited to Soundgarden than Pearl Jam. Abbruzzesse was perfect on "Vs."

Soul Asylum was a great band. People get too hung up on how cheeseball "Runaway Train" was and forget about all the other great songs, not only on the Grave Dancers Union record, but especially on their earlier stuff.

Yes. The Reality of My Surroundings is an incredibly underappreciated masterpiece.

Flavawheel:

Yeah, you're way off with your interpretation of Unplugged.

You didn't just shit on Naughty by Nature.

Yeah, I don't buy it.

I'm still a huge fan of No Code, although I rank Vs., Ten and Vitalogy above it.

Mudhoney is amazing, and should have been as big as Nirvana, although I understand why that didn't happen.

A few clarifications on your Marley points:

I would love to hear a remixed version of Nevermind, kind of like the remixed version of Pearl Jam's Ten that came out a year or two again.
