This is a nearly impossible choice. The only easy one to rule out is Wishkah. The other ones are all awesome.
Their Unplugged performance was the best ever on that show, period. (Followed by Pearl Jam, but after that no one else was even close.)
Bleach and Incesticide both have a really raw feel to them, which I like. Nevermind is the one that started the 90's grunge rock explosion so that's a credible album too, but my favorite would have to be In Utero, based solely on lyrical content.
To those that dislike Nrivana or have knocked them in this thread...
Obviously, none of you can deny their influence. Whoever said they sound like everything else in the 90s needs to do some research because once Nirvana blew up, everyone and their mother started trying to sound like them, not the other way around. Musically... Sure there are far more musically talented musicians out there, but I'd be hard pressed to think of a better songwriter than Kurdt Cobain. And if I could think of some, it wouldn't be very many. Cobain is one of the best lyricists EVER. Period.
