Listening to the replay. I have such mixed feelings about this set.
Achtung Baby was an impulse purchase that I gave my brother for Christmas without having heard any of it. We spent that year with it in constant rotation. Maybe she could have played UV or Mysterious Ways, but it's still good to hear.
Siouxsie was the first CD I heard. That and Music for the Masses (Depeche Mode), which is an excellent album.
Metallica's black album was definitely there also. "Nothing else matters" or "Wherever I may roam" might have been better choices.
Pearl Jam -- would have been great to hear Oceans, Deep, or Once. Something more atmospheric and NOT Jeremy or Alive or Even Flow.
Nirvana -- throw us a curve and put on the song almost no one likes -- Territorial Pissings. Love that one.
In short, I could take most of the same bands and put together something surprising and still fun, just by avoiding the hits. These are great albums but such obvious choices. I'm sad because it could be better.
