Nirvana-Nevermind

Ok back today to review a classic album of my youth, Nirvana's Nevermind. I can remember the very first time I saw the video for "SLTS". I though that it was so funny how they could name a song after teen spirit deoderant. The video was so different and the music was so different as well that I just knew I would love this band. At the time I thought they would be huge but only really as a cult type of group. Little did I know that this album would create a new chapter in music. If you watch a 'Behind the Music" of any 80's rock band, Nirvana and the grunge movement is blamed for their demise. I just always thought that was funny. I remember buying this album after it came out, I bought it at a Caldor store near my house. I remember going back to my grandma's that day & I opened the cover and the first thing you see is a pic of Kurt Cobain giving the finger. My uncle saw it also and he thought it was funny. This album is packed with great songs screaming with teenage rebellion, pain and the angst of life. I love tracks such as "Territorial Pissings", "Something in the way" and "Lithium". Of course the album features even more famous tracks such as "Smells like teen spirit" & "Come as you are". Just an album that truly reminds me of junior high and first getting into music. I can close my eyes and think back to the sitting in the school cafeteria talking about this band and album with some of my friends at that time.

Ac/Dc - Back in Black

So it's been a while since my last review and today I'd like to review one of the biggest selling albums in history, Ac/Dc's Back in Black. This is a tremendous rock album. It was the bands first recording with lead singer Brian Johnson and it proved that he had what it takes to sing the songs of their late singer Bon Scott. every song is great. The album contains the radio classis "You Shook Me All Nite Long", the awesome "Hells Bells" and of course the title track which is just so infectious you can't change the dial on your radio when it's on. The deeper cuts that I love listening to are "Rock N Roll Aint Noise Pollution", "Shoot To Thrill, and possibly my favorite of the whole album the ultimate drinking song "Have A Drink On Me". I remeber being a kid and just thinking that I had never heard vocal sung the way Brian Johnson sang them and to this day I feel the same. This album is truly a classic and big album from my youth.
