Recently, Rolling Stone dusted off another one of their ever-popular lists: 50 Greatest Grunge Albums. So how does it stand up?
The Top 3 are no surprise: Nirvana‘s Nevermind sits atop the list at No. 1, followed by Soundgarden‘s Badmotorfinger and Pearl Jam‘s Ten. Hole‘s Live Through This at No. 4 might be a bit of a head-scratcher; I’d like to see it flip-flopped with Dirt from Alice In Chains, which landed at No. 6. Mudhoney‘s seminal Superfuzz Bigmuff feels just right at No. 5, though.
