Any one of these 4 is acceptable.

This is a very close second to Ten, and a better band. This isn't even really a contest...Ten wins, this thread should disappear.

i'm genuinely curious as to how many people think ten is the best rock album of the 90s. i'm pretty sure such a poll has been done before, though, and i don't feel like making a new one.

while I'm a big fan of a lot of the bands mentioned, and the albums truly are great, Ten has got to be the best. I just wrote about a paragraph trying to prove this, and you just have to listen to it...Garden and Release are two of my favorites that should definitely be checked out if you don't know them...

As both a huge Weezer and Pearl Jam fan, I love this thread already. The funny part is I just had this convo the other day with several friends. It really is almost too close to call here. I can make the analogy that it is like chocolate and vanilla ice cream...you like them both a lot, but you must like one more than the other...anyway, lets do a little comparision (cause frankly I dont wanna study any more Bio) of the two albums....


Lead off track:
Ten: Once
Blue: My Name is Jonas
A lead off track is a key component of a good album...it sets the tone and is the first impression of the artist.
Adv: Weezer

The singles:
Ten: Jeremy, Even Flow, Alive
Weezer: Undone, Buddy Holly, Say it ain't so
THe singles are usually the overall top quality songs on the album, and IMO these two dont differ from the norm. Buddy Holly is my favorite Weezer song, probably my favorite song period. But the combo of Even Flow and Alive is much better than Undone and Buddy Holly, but I think that the end track single is better on Weezer.
Adv:Ten

Other songs:
Ten: Why Go, Black, Oceans, Porch, Garden, Deep Release
Weezer: No one else, The world has turned, Surf Wax America, In the garage, Holiday, Only in Dreams
Both are very deep albums, but I think that in the end Weezer had better other songs on the albums. The World has turned and In the Garage are much better than Black and Why Go, although they arent that far apart.
Adv: Weezer

Lasting Impressions
While Ten has been out longer, I think Weezer was more influential and has aged better. It was more original and is the basis for half of the bands today. I guarenntee that every Emo act today got their roots from Weezer
Adv: Weezer

Overall: Weezer
While Ten is good, the Blue Album is just a hair better.

It's OK Computer and nothing else approaches its brilliance. But since I like posting pics of albums, here are my distant 2a and 2b, with which I expect no one to agree.

I think it's probably one of the big four, but just to open up the discussion.

No it's not. Modest Mouse is trash.

This album doesn't get enough play and is very close to perfect.
