I think In Utero is a better record than Nevermind.
Doesn't Pearl Jam's Ten belong somewhere?

Kurt wanted to make punk music. I think he felt like a hypocrite when Nevermind became mainstream. In Utero was his response - a more punk sounding record.
Teenage angst has paid off well Now I'm bored and old
What else should I write I don't have the right
Specifically, Punk as if the Beatles were playing it.
Nevermind sounds that way. In Utero is less contrived (and better) IMO.

Pop punk is great. Set Your Goals is releasing their new album soon. I don't know much about it, specifically, but my friends are really into it/them. It's fun roadtrip and summer music.
I'm not a fan of alternative but knowing that you appreciate a lot of music and are well versed in many things, I'll check it out. It's funny but I take music recommendations more seriously from some people more than others. When some of my friends recommend songs to me, I just roll my eyes knowing what they normally listen to. Then again, most of them roll their eyes back at me when I tell them what I like. It's just more to prove that music is subjective to each person's tastes and what they may associate with certain music.
You may wanna stay away from that Prodigy album because I love it as much as Trad Ale and I get ripped for my music taste all the time.
To me, the Beatles, Led Zepplin suck huge balls, but Linkin Park and System of a Down rule.
Point being is that it shouldn't matter what ANYONE says, not even people or critics that you relate to.

It does matter though. Sometimes you are reluctant to open yourself up to new ideas or experiences and sometimes it takes awhile to understand why something different might be good and why others like it.

I loved Nirvana when they first hit the mainstream. It was a magical time. I still like Nirvana, but I remember them most for opening up the entire world of punk to me. From Nirvana (among other "popular" bands), I ended up moving backwards in time and really got into the evolution of punk. I LOVE bands like the Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Fugazi and so on.

The Beatles effin' rule.
To say that you
a) have really only heard a few of their most popular songs, so they don't really know what you're talking about
b) have no sense of musical history, or simply don't care about it. This is somewhat okay, although I still think it's dumb to say they suck, 'cause you're still talking about something you don't really know
c) have no taste. (I'm about 66,6% serious)
As to Prodigy, I still prefer Music for the Jilted Generation
And as a musical decade, the nineties ruled. Maybe more so in Finland than elsewhere though But I still keep finding great albums especially from early/mid nineties. SOAD:s good albums, Rammsteins good stuff, White/Rob Zombie, Prodigy, RATM:s first album, Sepultura's Chaos AD and Roots, the good NIN albums, the good Marilyn Manson albums, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds were totally rocking, KMFDM:s Naive, Angst and Nihil, Depeche Mode's Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion, Very by Pet Shop Boys, Tori Amos, Type O Negative, Ministry's Psalm 69 (The Way to Succeed & the Way to Suck Eggs), Me'Shell Ndegeocello's Peace Beoynd Passion, whole of Morphine (well I like it), Angel Dust by Faith No More (yeah yeah, never as big in NA as it was in Europe), hell even Tom Waits put out the Bone Machine and Mule Variations, Prince was still putting out great stuff, Portishead, Mano Negra (I'd guess not popular in the US since they mostly didn't sing in English), The Gathering pretty much defined female vocals in metal (in good and in bad, but they made some great albums), Fatboy Slim's You've Come a Long Way Baby, Chemical Brothers came out with Surrender, Cowboy Junkies, Radiohead with OK Computer (and to a lesser extent My Iron Lung and The Bends)... And that's just some of what I like, and I'm still completely ignoring all the brilliant stuff that Finnish bands were putting out at the time
This is a sample of what I was into at that time:
SOAD has nothing on these guys (Seriously, not a thing, they were a thundering live band who were musically really interesting, had a whole bunch of great songs and a lot of really clever lyrics).
