Astrojanitor Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Butch Vig overproduced the living hell out of Nevermind. For my money Nevermind is the least listenable Nirvana records. Appetite vs Bleach? Bleach. vs Nevermind? Appetite. Besides, Appetite has Rocket Queen. killer tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike In Illinois Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I voted for 'Appetite' although there's merits for both albums. 'Nevermind' was a refreshing break from the "Hair Band/Hair Metal" music of the late '80s- of which G 'n' R associated with. I was in High School when 'Nevermind' came out and it ushered in Grunge to the mainstream. I think this album is more impactful to kids who were looking for something new. (I never owned the album) 'Appetite' is a top-to-bottom tour de force, IMO. I originally had the cassette and songs like 'My Michelle', 'Mr. Brownstone' and 'Paradise City' just kicked my @$$ with the sounds from Slash, Steven Adler, Axl and the rest put out. As 5th-grader it was the best; G 'n' R may have been lumped into the Hair category but their music set them apart from the others- in a way ushering in Nirvana, STP, Pearl Jam, etc. a few years later.

Just Jack Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Appetite for Destruction reminds me of college, seemed like every frat party someone would put it on at some point. Nevermind, when I first heard SLTS, I went out and got the CD, played it for my friends, and they were like "eh". Couple months later, all they could talk about was Nirvana.

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I like both albums but it's a blow out. Appetite is just a great album IMO. I always felt like Nirvana was a bit overrated and you have to be in the right mood to listen to their music. Appetite at least had a little variety.

Chef Jim Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I remember to this day where I was the first time I heard Welcome to the Jungle. I thought whoa, great stuff. I have no idea where I was the first time I heard Smell Like Teen Spirit but I'm pretty sure my reaction was No brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Depends what mood you're in. I voted Nevermind because I tend to seek out music more when I'm feeling down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music is much more important to me than that. I have music for all types of moods. Just stay away from the shotguns kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too, but it's most important to me when I need a little catharsis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Appetite is one of the all time best albums ever produced IMHO. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I first heard it and they said it was by Guns and Roses I thought "damn, you mean that band I saw listed on the marquee of the Troubadour on Santa Monica Boulevard every Saturday night? I really need to check them out." Needless to say they never played there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey greco Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Appetite was the pinnacle of 80's rock. It was a level above everything else. I think Appetite is a great album and I listened to it a ton even though I really hate that genre as a whole. It's made for radio, and damn near perfect for what it is. It's fluff. Incredibly well done fluff, but fluff. Nevermind marked the death of that hair band genre, and changed the future course of rock. It's not as radio-friendly, but far more influential. To make a somewhat unfair analogy, it's like comparing Saturday Night Fever to London Calling. SNF was huge, got lots of radio play, it's listenable. It was the pinnacle of disco, the 70's equivalent of hair bands. London Calling was a far more influential, and yes, better record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
