ALBUM POLL #1

[Liam]

With three pretty big alternative albums being released in the space of a few weeks recently (Pearl Jam, Tool and RHCP), I thought I'd go back to 1991 to four albums released in the space of two weeks in September.

Simple, which is the best album of these four?

BTW, I got the information of them being released from Kerrang!, so no, I don't just hoard useless information

[DMN in the House]

'Nevermind'.

I prefer RHCP's newer stuff, although 'BSSM' is an immense album. GnR is, and always will be 'AFD' to me.

[Darloboy]

Use Your Illusion I, just. Followed closely by Use Your Illusion II.

[ravenjuice]

Use your Illusion 2. Easily. I'm a fan of all four bands and own all four albums, and its still an easy choice for me.

[Steeb]

BSSM. Easiest poll yet.

Very few albums, ever, touch BSSM, for me.

[K]

Isn't the Metallica one album poll #1

[Liam]

Possibly

Albums from different bands then >_>

[DFF]

Use Your Illusion I

[SeanDMan]

I voted for Nevermind. Never been a big fan of GnR, and even though Blood Sugar is immense, it's second best in this poll (though a close, close, if you had asked me on a different day I might say first close second).

[Cactus Drags]

I skip through fewer tracks on Nevermind, thus it is the best. Never really liked G'n'R beyond Apetite for Destruction and the odd other track (although Slash is fucking awesome), and I prefer the Chilli's newer stuff (before By The Way).

[Liam]

Even I'll admit to how cliche Nirvana "changing someones life" or whatever is, but Nevermind was THE album that opened me up to the music world. I love BSSM and that runs it close, but Nevermind is the album that did the most for me.

[Skummy]

While all are great albums, I don't consider any of them to be any of the best albums of all time, or anything like that, but Nevermind was a large part of the music of my childhood, and is a far more iconic album as a whole, so it wins out over the others with ease.

[Rashid]

I chose Nevermind, but that was a tough decision. Use Your Illusuion 1 would have been my second pick.

[TOG]

BSSM for me. Nevermind is a lesser Nirvana album for me, and UYI I & II are hit and miss for me.

[The Dork Knight]

Use Your Illusion II closely followed by Use Your Illusion I.

[MalaCloudy Black]

It's a good thing you don't hoarde useless information, otherwise I'd have to smack you for gimmick infringement.

[Benji]

Fuck off are any of those better than BSSM

[thatshortguy]

In terms of what it did to music as a whole, "Nevermind" by leaps and bounds.

As far as musical content, RHCP. That album is a showcase of a hungry band being caught at just the right time by just the right people. It is an album that likely defines that band and will probably do so as long as they are around.

[Shorty]

this is tough because I'm a huuge fan of the Nevermind album, I really love it, but no album beats Blood Sugar Sex Magik in my opinion.

Nevermind was and still is overproduced, overhyped shit.

BSSM is quite good.

UYI I is okay, more miss than hit.

UYI II takes it. The best collection of songs out of the 4 by far.
