Bad opinions [ARCHIVED] • Page 785

The very first song I learned on guitar!

 

Depending on the day, I seriously consider Presence the best Zeppelin album.

 

well i’ll be

 

this is 100000 percent correct

 

my fav zep records are physical graffiti, iii, and presence, so i see you steve

 

I didn't listen to a Zeppelin album until I met my wife last year so I can't even weigh in

 

wait what

 

Houses of the Holy
IV
III
Physical Graffiti
II
In Through the Out Door
Led Zeppelin
Presence

 

HOTH > III > IV > II > PG > ITTOD > I > Prescence

 

Definitely HOTH 1

 

Dirt may objectively be the best, but S/T is my favorite AIC record

 

I think Black Gives Way To Blue is my second after Dirt

 

It's crazy that Alice in Chains has remained so good even after Layne. But I guess Jerry wrote most of the music anyways

 

I feel like both Alice In Chains and Blind Melon have both done pretty well without their original lead singer.

 

I think the only post-Layne material I’ve heard was Check My Brain. Will have to dig into it. 90s AIC is definitely my favorite band from the grunge era

 

Jar of Flies is the best AIC record and it's not even particularly close.

 

Jar of Flies is incredible. Literally every song

 

Even if it was a 7" with just "Nutshell" and "I Stay Away" it'd be a masterpiece.

 

Dirt and Jar Of Flies are both tens.

 

Dirt is feast or famine for me. "Would?", "Down in a Hole", "Them Bones", "Rain When I Die", "Rooster" and "Angry Chair" rule. But stuff like the title track and "Godsmack" and "Sickman" and the other miserable junkie shit is pretty underwhelming.

 

dirt and s/t are easily their best imo. one of chris’ spiciest takes.

 

I wish I cared for their post-Black Gives Way To Blue material, something stopped clicking afterwards. Jerry's solo albums are also worth a listen.

 

the last three are basically jerry solo albums.

 

But that wah-soaked riff on the title track tho

 

I mean the “miserable junkie shit” is what gives the album its character. It’s extremely raw, I wouldn’t have it any other way
