It's an EP, but still. My favorite AiC.

FO row peter puffer.

I could have gone with Superunknown. Jar of Flies is just ridiculous though. Thematically they didn't lighten up much, but the musical style is a total departure. AIC did not stagnate the least bit after Dirt which was a career defining release.

I put "I Stay Away" on my 12 string axe shit pole.

I wouldn't rank "Dookie" the best if I heard it for the first time today, but man...back in middle school, when that album came out, it was the absolute tits.

It's got some catchy tunes. I don't think it holds up that well 26 years later though.

Fuck Weezer. Rivers Cuomo is a little midget bitch, he may even be too short to 69 godawgs91. In summation, I hope Rivers Cuomo sits on a pineapple and then a Chinese satellite lands on him.

Sure, he's a little midget Harvard bitch. But their first record was still wonderful.

My GF loves Green Day, and her and I both have disdain for the others' musical taste. Therefore they suck.

Actually catchy is exactly right. They sound good in the background but bore me if I pay attention.

I remember my having a GF phase. Summer time and living was easy.

I remember having a wife phase. I didnt care for it. They're not really that different except that I could leave anytime now without filing any court documents.

My answer would change all the time, but the Weezer album is great.

I think STP Purple was released in 94 too and is easily their best album and when they proved they weren’t really a knock off Grunge band.

This is one hell of a deep field. I wouldn't hate on anyone voting for Weezer, Jar of Flies, Dookie, Purple as RoadDawg mentioned or even Nirvana Unplugged (which I've probably listened to more than any of these although it contains the least new music).

Rock's final peak year.

Yeah and whoeverput that idea in my head should be shot!

Actually the minute plus of excitement, when I grunted my son into the ex in the bathroom while guests sat in the living room passing the bong, is about the fondest memory I have of that experiment. I guess I dont regret it.

Agree. I think 1994 is darn near as impressive as 1991. Sometimes I think Unplugged is Nirvana's finest recording and it's easily the best of the "unplugged" albums of the era. I vastly prefer Vitalogy to Ten and think this was PJ's best work.

As someone who grew up in a cultural wasteland of Utah, it took me a few years to catch up on what was happening musically in the early 90's. By 1994 it was in your face.
