Pearl Jam - Ten (1991)

I only decided to listen to this band a few weeks ago, when I noticed a best of album in my guitar teacher's CD collection. I chose to listen to this album because it seemed to have most of the popular songs on it and, having listened to it once, I was genuinely angry with myself for not having listened to them before.
Ten is an incredible debut album, one which I can listen to from start to finish countless times and not become bored of. They sound like an almost more American version of Alice In Chains: another band I was annoyed I hadn't listened to before Matt introduced me to them. Eddie vedder is both a great lyricist and a great singer, and the music itself is instantly memorable. Pearl Jam are a very good band.

Soundgarden - Superunknown (1994)

Dan, with his Audioslave post, inspired me to put this album up. This is where Chris Cornell came from and is, I think, truly fantastic. Superunknown was Soundgarden's fourth and penultimate album. It keeps to the traditional Soundgarden grunge-esque sound, but at the same time marks a progression into other styles of music. I hope you all like it.

Track listing:
1.Let Me Drown
2.My Wave
3.Fell On Black Days
4.Mailman
5.Superunknown
6.Head Down
7.Black Hole Sun
8.Spoonman
9.Limo Wreck
10.The Day I Tried To Live
11.Kickstand
12.Fresh Tendrills
13.4th Of July
14.Half
15.Like Suicide
