7 - Nirvana "Bleach"
6 - Beastie Boys "Pauls Botique"
5 - Screaming Trees "Other Worlds"

1. When I was in my teens I literally overdosed on Achilles' Last Stand
I still can't picture listening to that song... it was great while it lasted, though. :D

2. I agree on David Bowie
I still listen to Man Who Sold the World more than any other Bowie, and I have had a copy since 1970. I used to have the LP with the "dress" cover but got greedy and sold it to a collector for big bucks.

3. I'm with you on Bleach & Other Worlds
I'd add Forever Changes by Love, Los Angeles by X and the first & only Salvation Army record. That's just the mood I'm in now.

Bleach is perfection, IMO.

11. Yes Bleach about sums it all up don't it?
Sometimes that album just has to go on infinite replay...

6. I have 4 of those on semi-heavy rotation....
Gish, Presence, Wake of the Flood and Where the Eagle Flies.

They're great, in my book, and sod anyone who tells me they ain't.

Taverner, you got taste. So say I.

9. how about Plastic Ono Band
without question John's best album, but about the only one without several smash singles, so it tends to get overlooked.

10. Bob Dylan:
Disk two of the three disk bootleg set. I swear to Guthrie that it is the best Dylan album, even though it's not really an album.

12. Rush: Hold Your Fire.
I am listening to that one now. It has such a cool wintery sound. I have so many different moods and this fits one of them.
