Depends on how callused your embouchure is.

At the time, I was floored by that Babes in Toyland--the only grunge-era band to sign to the majors and keep their teeth sharp IMO.
But over time, I'd have to hand this to Morbid Angel. Domination is one of the highest budget and best death metal records of all time. Can't see a more perfect or classic disc on this list.
Ps - I saw Unwound open for Drive Like Jehu in '93 ;P

Butt Trumpet pretty much got killed in the poster comments-to-actual votes ratio.

it's like nobody really wanted to listen to a band called Butt Trumpet: who knew?

I remember the name from those days. Purposefully never checked them out.

apparently whichever hapless Chrysalis A&R person who signed them was unable to work that one out. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he or she explained that particular decision.

would love to write a book full of stories about the creative and/or financial ruination of so many people involved in this gold rush. Our Band Could Be Your Tax Write-Off.

Some of these weren’t really Nirvana gold rush “cash-in” albums; they were on pseudo-indies distributed by majors, etc. (as I’m sure is pointed out somewhere in the thread).

Nirvana and "Nevermind" get way too much credit for their influnce.
