![]() | The Doors by The Doors
Buy used from: $1.00 best album in rock history. a poem in itself, this is the ultimate existentialist hard rock statement ever made. morrison carries us through madness, leaves us there, then takes us back.
|
![]() | Fun with Knives by Velvet Acid Christ
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $4.81 one of the most innovative, really disturbing bands to emerge from the morass of poser metal. splices of hunter s thompson, star trek, dune thrown in the multifaceted tracks.
|
![]() | Renegades by Rage Against the Machine
Buy used from: $3.33 yeah, so they might not have been the most authentic band. but the live "how i could just kill a man" with cypress is fantastic. it's a bonus track. "didn't have to blast him, but i did anyway..."
|
![]() | Appetite for Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.91 fell off the face of the earth, but when they still inhabited it, they rocked. one too many dances with mr. brownstone, i suppose. "we've got everything you want, but you better not take it for free"
|

![]() | I Need Drugs by Necro
Buy used from: $7.89 i do believe i've heard the sickest sh*t out there, but this tops everything. it's so repugnant, it's fascinating. some talent, too, unfortunately
|
![]() | Nirvana by Nirvana
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.00 buy this for no other reason than that it contains kurt's final bow, "you know you're right". one of my all time favorite songs. you can smell the dread. "no thought was put into this.."
|
![]() | Horses by Patti Smith
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.99 probably the only genuine poet since morrison to get involved in the rock scene. f**k henry rollins, this is real talent, free form rage, a throwback to the 60's and yet innovative
|
![]() | To Venus and Back by Tori Amos

|
![]() | Louder Than Bombs by The Smiths

|
![]() | The Cure - Greatest Hits by The Cure
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $6.00 a band that needs no introduction. robert smith is of that rare, practically dead breed--a real goth. warning, "just like a dream" is a DANGEROUS song
|
![]() | 6 Feet Deep by Gravediggaz
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.69 the originators of "horror rap" it f**king ROCKS this stuff is out of this world bleak. real, rough edged art. "1 800 SUICIDE" is funny as hell--and scary

|
![]() | The Sickness by Disturbed
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.99 "numb" and "fear" are great, but "down with the sickness" is the ultimate "demon rising" type of song. hey, i'm a pop dork!
|
