SUPERUNKNOWN remains my favorite record of all time. Front-to-back brilliant.
Also, always found the Stone Temple Pilots being criticized as Pearl Jam copyists to be lazy and unfair. I’m a big PJ fan and those two bands never sounded alike to me. CORE is still a really strong hard rock record.
My favorite of all the bands of that era was always The Screaming Trees. However, as good as they were, when Mark branched off and started to write and record his solo records, his light as an artist shone far more brightly than the Trees ever could or did. There are at least eight Lanegan solo records that are absolutely breathtaking, bruising, haunting, and emotionally devastating, yet at the same time, deeply beautiful records. Without a doubt, they are some of my favorite records I own.
Seaweed- "Start With"
Not heard this band before, look forward to checking them out!
Right on! “Spanaway” is a great record.
missed out the Melvins and TAD
I can see it.

100% on both comments. Superunknown gets better every time I hear it. RIP CC <3

I will have to check those out, thanks Michael!
You should. I cannot recommend Lanegan's solo work highly enough.
Wow, a fantastic batch of albums! Hard to argue with anything on here
Thanks Mark!
