I remember loving the hell out of the opening cut on that album, and then being somewhat kind of "eh" on the rest of it. "Sour Girl" was actually pretty alright, too.Quote:

Oh, and fuck you. NIN are still awesome. ;)
I just remember really liking the direction of it when it came out but in light of what came afterwards, it's a bit patchy admittedly. "Down" is indeed a great song.Quote:

Here's some more great songs...

This is still my favourite AIC song. Not because of the lyrical content so much but because I think it's just so fucking......stunningly beautiful. Great production too.
And some Aussie stuff -

These guys never really went anywhere but one of the guys was related to the Young brothers. Yep, THOSE Young brothers! ;) (you can kind of tell from the sound)

The Screaming Jets cover of Nick Cave classic Shivers. There's no way you would have avoided this growing up in Australia in the early 90's
The Downward Spiral and The Fragile are two of my favorite albums.Quote:

Their crunchy anthem sound reminds me a bit of recent Toadies, actually.Quote:

Not huge on the Smashing Pumpkins, but this is a great song. One of my all time faves.

The Breeders. Again not a huge fan and found this one in - yep, a compilation. :)

And in much the same vain....

None of my friends ever seem to remember these guys:

Like Pantera, I just didn't find NIN friendly to my ears after a while. I admit it was a personal taste choice.Quote:

I'd rather do that and keep precious memories intact rather than spoil totally what was music very dear to my heart.
"Seether" and "1979" are indeed great. My favorite Smashing Pumpkins song has to be this one, though:Quote:

I think part of my love for this song stems from it featuring prominently in a game-changing moment on The Shield.
What did you think of Cantrell's solo stuff? ;)Quote:
