The Rock Must Listen List

Ok so I had this Idea to creat a list of all the great bands/Records. The purpose of this is so that if someone wanted to hear a band for the first time they could come here and find the best record by that band.

For Instance for Nirvana, I would have to say Nevermind just because that is the Basic popular Nirvana sound.
Now please only one record per Band! try to pick the best one.

Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral

Days of the New: Green

-Smitten Kitten-

hard fu**ing song- tenatious d/t

Incubus: A Crow Left of the Murder (IMO, though I know a lot of people who think S.C.I.E.N.C.E is better)

Tool: Lateralus

Green Day: Nimrod

I would venture to say that Aenima is more of the definitive Tool album than Lateralus. Or Undertow.

-Smitten Kitten-

Yeah you're probably right but Lateralus is my favorite... I know what you mean though.
