Yeah it's out of print, sadly. Saw it for $500+ on Amazon!

Classic album though!

Bandwagonesque is the only album that doesn't sound dated to me 23-years-hence. Nirvana were never as good as their buzz and Loveless (Tremolo and Isn't Anything were far superior) was never as good as the ideals of the critics.

Fanclub's album is the only one of these that i might listen to when i turn 80, if only for it making me feel young.

Also, add Peggy Suicide (Julian Cope) and anything that Levitation put out in '91 for trix more involving than anything Nevermind had to offer (save, "Where Did You Sleep Last Nite", which is one of the smartest covers ever).

eight years pass...

gonna pop a bag of chicarrones and dig into this mighty thread. I do not get bandwagonsque at all, apart from the last track. Why did they waste the best hook on an instrumental!?!

talk talk - laughing stock

This is a work of genius. However, comparing it to Nevermind is like comparing apples and giraffes.

comparing these albums is unfair, but if you could only keep one band's catalog (and the other two disappear from existence), ya gotta go w/ TFC
