I figured Nirvana would be at the top but overall I can't really argue with this list too much.

Atomizer should be #1. No excuses.

When are people going to stop sucking Nirvana's dick? Why isn't Leftover Crack's "Fcuk World Trade" on this list?

As long as Superchunk is in there somewhere I'm satisfied.

Anyone remember F-Minus? That album they recorded with Albini was awesome.

Albini has recorded a bunch of awful stuff but will forever have "hero" status in my eyes. This list is proof of both of those.

Leftover Crack is an affront to all music. Such a terrible band.
