personally-formational rock albums that rule...

pearl jam - ten, vs., vitalogy
soundgarden - badmotorfinger, superunknown
pink floyd - dark side of the moon
alice in chains - dirt, jar of flies
temple of the dog - self titled
mad season - above
stone temple pilots - purple, core
radiohead - the bends (all rule, but i'm trying for back-in-the-day here)
smashing pumpkins - siamese dream, pisces iscariot
counting crows - august and everything after, recovering the satellites
rage against the machine - self titled, evil empire
metallica - and justice for all, black album
r.e.m. - out of time, automatic for the people
weezer - blue album
u2 - war, joshua tree, achtung baby

i'm sure i'm forgetting some. in doing this, i realized i was quite the grunge kid in junior high. long hair, flannel shirts, skate boards, and distorted guitars. rock.
