No possible way that this shit even fits with the albums listed in this forum Some of his songs are ok, but it is not going to be an album that is remembered even 2 years from now.

 

Dirt may have been the first album that experienced some commercial success, but it wasn't their first full length album with a major record label. Facelift was, and many fans agree that it was, by a wide margin, their best album. In fact, lately it's experienced a little bit of a revival with the track, Man in a Box, being used in one of the trailers for the latest Tom Cruise movie, Collateral.

 

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Wu Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers

 

Thanks for the info. I thought I was a pretty big fan, having all the albums after Dirt. But, I will check out your rec...thanks.

 

How could I forget Alice's Facelift and PE's debut?

I'm amending my first post...

 

MC,
If you like Probot...check out a band named "Spirit Caravan". It's Wino's , the lead singer on Track 7 (My favorite, followed by Shake Your Blood) band. Really good stuff!

 

I tell ya, this thread has been awesome. It's made me go through my CD collection and pull out some albums that I haven't listened to in 10 years. What a difference 10 years makes. Some of the albums that I thought I knew, I listen to them and they are almost like hearing a brand new record!

 

Another notable 1st...
3rd Base- Steppin' to the AM. The 1st serious white rappers. MC Serch and Pete Nice had S-I-C-K style...great, intelligent lyrics i.e. Tripple Stage Darkness. They blazed the trail for House of Pain/Everlast and M&M.
Fusnookens (sp?)- Das FX- Their tongue twisting raps TOTALLY changed the scene.
Eric B and Rakiem-Follow the Leader. This guy was hard when rappers like Big Daddy Kane were still talking about "Pimpin' Aint Easy"
Bob Mould- Storybook (He's been in numerous other bands i.e. Husker Du) but this was his gut wrenching solo effort (written while kicking Heroin).

 

So you were a teenager in the 80's too, eh?

3rd Bass were waaay ahead of their time, and that WAS a really great debut. Not quite up to the level of The Cactus Album, but solid.

Now for one we may have ALL overlooked: Beastie Boys - License to Ill.

Oh, and chrissa, I know what u mean. I just went out and bought like 12 of these albums on CD...'cause all I had was the friggin cassettes!!

 

Spirit Caravan, thanks I'll check them out

I too went through my old tapes, some it cool, some it WTH??? hehe
