A great number of FANTASTIC albums were made in a period when prog were pretty dead and alternative rock were rising. Which one's your favorite? I can't choose  |

| I voted for Faith No More's The Real Thing (though I like Angel Dust almost as much) - a ground-breaking album by a band I wouldn't mind seeing here. |

Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo habitual, the most "sunny" albums of all the ones listed. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

| Absolutely awful selection from the worst period in music. Ugh... I'll have to go with RHCP's Mother's Milk. Not quite Freaky Styley, but it'll have to do. |

| Like I said in the other thread which got locked, Pearl Jam's Ten is probably the best hard rockin' album ever made since the 70's. |

Jane's Addiction- "Ritual de lo Habitual" The two best songs on that album are "Then She Did" and "Three Days" both dark and epic in their own right. -------------

I really like the "riff" in "Then she Did" And to answer someone else: Yes, Soundgarden is absolutely brilliant! Superunknown is probably their peak. Heavy as led yet still has that experimental/alternative edge that would be more present on their last album. But they rock your socks off already on the first track of their first EP. "Hunted Down" from Screaming Life  |

The Real Thing for me too - saw them in London on that tour & was so glad we were upstairs; the mosh pit looked insane & FNM had to halt the gig at one point to ask the crowd to calm down after the security barriers collapsed & were carried over the heads of the audience to the rear 
[edit] An honourable mention too for Blood Sugar Sex Magik; a great album, but in my opinion, RHCP lost their way after that one... -------------

I liked Ten by Pearl Jam at the time, and The Real Thing by FNM, but there's stuff on that list I've not heard. I saw FNM at the Reading Festival in 1990 (I think) and to be frank they were terrible. Mike Pattens voice was among the worst I have ever heard. At the time the word 'overated' sprung to mind, as it did when everyone was saying The Stone Roses were the future of music.
I was listening to mainly electronic music at the time, and some Indie stuff. I didn't feel rock had much to offer at that time. Looking back, I was probably wrong, but I didn't feel inclined towards metal or prog at all, unless it was very old, and I'd been listening to it for years anyway. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

BSSM, I guess. Angel Dust, Nevermind and Dirt come closest.
I'm a bit surprised of the big lead The Real Thing has over Angel Dust. The title track is among my favourite FNM songs and there's other good stuff too, but oh how I'd like to hear the album being sung by the Angel Dust era Patton. The vocals are a weak point of the album for me. Good three stars, Angel Dust is very close to five. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

| I'll give my support to Faith No More and their Angel Dust album. It's not as good as King For a Day, but still one of their best. |
