Gish is a good album, dont like all the songs on it though, like Siva, I am One, Rhinocerous. Daydream is a bit of a strange song hence D'Arcy is singing on it, i listened to that song over and over the day it was announced she was leaving the band

for that reason i always start with song 3 on rotten apples,,, not a bad attempt at greatest hits but needed a few changes

Debatable. I mean, if we're accepting the Pumpkins having anything to do with grunge proper, then kerbdog should be in there somewhere. (I can see how you'd argue against them being grunge, what with Battle not having a smack addict or an inspirational best friend who snuffed it at the hands of hardcore drugs. But nonetheless - to me, they were grunge. I never really worked out what exactly made a band grunge or not grunge though, so ICBW)

Nirvana - In Utero

or

Alice In Chains - DIRT

Nevermind or Ten, I cant choose. Bleach is growing on me lately as well

Thread was going so well until people started listing Pumpkins' albums as grunge :[

Civilian_Target

Therapy? - Troublegum

Probably not what you'd call grunge, but from the grunge era nonetheless.

Gone West

how about pearl jam - ten or does that count?

IamtheKing

Pearl Jam- Vitalogy

I have it on cassette, retro or what?

JC 2K3

Meat Puppets - Too High to Die(1994)

(I know it's not exactly grunge, more alt rock, but it was around the same time as grunge and they toured with Nirvana/played with them on unplugged and THTD is a brilliant album)

If its just an album from the grunge era then slanted & enchanted by pavement or dirty by sonic youth

^Dirty is a great album

I can't believe it was the 3rd page before Sonic Youth were mentioned. Although they probably wouldn't want to be called a grunge band.

For me, grunge was a dirty, bass-y guitar sound. Sonic Youth were (and are) great at it. Nirvana did it well. The Melvins too. Pearl Jam are just a rock band that happen to come from Seattle.

(In '91 I saw Nirvana support Sonic Youth in the Top Hat in Dún Laoghaire. Marvellous!!!)

Seaneh

Soundgarden - Down on the upside
AiC - Dirt
Pearl jam - ten

LazStanaridis

AIC - Facelift, 1000 times better than Dirt.
