radiohead is on the list for the same reason jazz is on the jukebox in talladega nights?

Vs is the best overall album here. Not a single skipable track and everything meshes so well. I might even use the C word when referring to it.

Soundgarden. It's the only album that I still listen to consistently.
A lot of those albums have lost their luster as the years have passed.
O.K. Computer - When it came out I thought it was a great record, but when I listen to it now it sounds whiny and annoying. Like a more overly-earnest (if that's possible) Pink Floyd (who I don't really care for much) with bleeps and bloops added to make it more contemporary.
Rage Against The Machine - I still like "Freedom" a lot. I won't deny that I was into RATM when I was 13, but you're into a lot of goofy shit when you're 13. When you're 14 and you start listening to the Dead Kennedys you wonder why a group on EPIC is decrying the horrors of capitalism and "the man". You also wonder why the jocks at your high school love Rage and adopt "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!!!" as a rallying cry i.e. "Fuck you, coach, I'm not coming out of the game cause Zack said that was totally not sweet, bro!" As a whole this album gets on my nerves, but has some good songs here and there.
Nevermind - This is a *sigh* good album on its own terms - a second-rate Pixies rip-off with more crunch and lyrics that speak to alienation - but why would you ever listen to it again? MTV, VH1, Rollingstone, SPIN and everyone else killed this album. It's almost unlistenable. Also I can play the album in my head anytime I want if I just look at the track isting. If you are between the ages of 25-32, this album was forced down your throat so much, you either became obsessed with it or began to resent it. Put me in the latter category.
Definitely Maybe - "Live Forever" is a good song, but why would you listen to an entire Oasis album? An Oasis album usually has a couple good songs and the rest are songs that fell short of the mark. Oasis basically try to write as many hit songs as possible - one or two usually hit the mark and the rest are used to fill out an album. They're not trying to write a record that you'd actually put on and listen to front to back. I think that's why I only listen to their B-sides collection. They're actually good songs - not just "hits that weren't".
Odelay - Not interested.
Use Your Illusion - This suffers from Nevermind-syndrome. If you're in my age group, this album was forced down your throat so much that you have no need to really listen to it. Plus this was when Axl thought he was Jesus or Elton John or something and decided that it would be cool to swim with dolphins in a video and have an orchestra accompany him onstage. Being artsy, overblown, and pretentious might work for other groups, but it didn't suit GNR well.

Re: Pick your favorite album
RATM
I like Definitely Maybe, but mainly just because of Live Forever.
OK Computer is up there, but my favorite Radiohead songs are on Kid A.
Jagged Little Pill is awesome, in small amounts.

The double edged sword that is a radio hit.Gurped Out wrote:that nirvana album opened me up to alot of other great music
Nirvana got my vote slightly over Soundgarden and a few others. They suffer from over exposure. The music on Nevermond is incredible.. We've all heard it 50 bazillion times since even "classic rock"stations are now playing Nirvana to death like mainstream radio did when they came out.
The reason ? It's really great music.
You can't discount all they/that record are just because it got over played.
