No love for Bush - Sixteen Stone?
Not my favorite band or anything but that album had at least 4 of their greatest hits on it.

Dwight Yoakam's Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. began as an EP issued on the California Oak label. When Reprise signed him, they added four more tracks to the mix to round it out as an album. Yoakam, a Kentuckian, brought country music back into its own medium by reviving the classic Bakersfield sound with the help of his producer and lead guitarist, former Detroiter Pete Anderson. As a result, the "new traditionalist" movement was born, but Yoakam was always a cut or three above the rest, as this album displays in spades. Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. kicks off with a smoking cover of Johnny Horton's "Honky Tonk Man," a song now so closely associated with Yoakam, the original has all but been forgotten. But this is only the beginning. Yoakam's own songs such as "Bury Me," a duet with Maria McKee, and "South of Cincinnati" reference both the pastoral and dark sides of his native state. "South of Cincinnati" is a paean to those who left Kentucky for Ohio in search of jobs, and "Bury Me" celebrates the land itself. In addition, the title track, with Anderson's Don Rich-influenced guitar style, walks the Buck Owens line until the line extends to Yoakam. With fiddles and backing vocals, Yoakam's street poetry is both poignant and profound, built into a barroom anthem. In addition to this there is the gorgeous "Miner's Prayer," an acoustic number powered by dobro (courtesy of David Mansfield), flat-picked guitar, and Yoakam's singing of his grandfather and generations like him who lived and died in the mines of Kentucky. Here Bill Monroe meets Ralph Stanley meets Bob Dylan. In the grain of Yoakam's voice there isn't one hint of irony, only empathy and raw emotion. Yoakam also does a more than acceptable version of June Carter's "Ring of Fire," the "Cherokee" of country music -- meaning that if you can play it and pull it off, you're taken seriously by the veterans. The album closes with the Harlan Howard classic "Heartaches by the Number." Because of Ed Black's steel playing, Brantley Kearns' fiddle, and Anderson's guitar, the accompaniment is stronger and far edgier than the Ray Price version, but from Yoakam's throat comes an entirely different story than Price's. In Price's case the song was a plea; in Yoakam's it's a statement of fact. An astonishing debut, Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. changed the face of country music single-handedly and remains one hell of a party record.

1. Led Zeppelin "I"
2. GNR - Appetite
3. Hendrix - AYE?
OBVIOUS
Hon mentions that I like:
Chevelle -- Point No. 1 (they turned into Seether-style pop metal garbage after this)
Stabbing Westward -- Ungod. For the lover of Industrial plus heavy guitar and memorable choruses, this can't miss.
NIN -- PHM. Twas an effort all its own in originality, yet it borrowed. Maybe the greatest "Oh no he didn't!" opening track in "Head Like a Hole" of the last 30 years.
The Fields of Nephilim -- Dawnrazor. Waaaaay ahead of their time. Carl McCoy was an outstanding lead man and the concerts are just incredible.
Pantera "Cowboys From Hell" -- Has a lisetniung quality of a seasoned metal band. Very good all the way through and heavy as shite for an awkward, unlabeled 1990.
Van Halen I. One of the best intros, followed by one of the best guitar solos, followed by one of the best covers, followed by one of the best single guy anthem of all time. This one was the precursor of GNR's Appetite and so many others. Unapologetic and completely mesmerizing for not even 1980.
The Gun Club -- Fire of Love. 1981 was too busy involved with videos to notice. How do you top an album that never quits?
Hum -- Eletrica2000 -- Poorly produced, but the stuff is there. This space rock album is an adventure that combines distortion and melody perfectly.
That's enough for now.

IN an age where most of us were taught that Bush, Candlebox, Creed, Fuel, Mineral, Silverchair, and the like was real rock. Nonsense. Tad is a band that released an incredible album in that stretch and no one bought it. We thought everything needed to sound like Nirvana and Pearl Jam so we bought into it.
I loved 16 Stone as much as anyone. I played it a lot and the cd was coveted, yet overused. I swear, I can listen to Live "Throwing Copper" or Oasis "Definitely Maybe" and it is ok. BUT, hearing an album like SixteenStone NOW? It's nails on an antique chalkboard. "Everything Zen" might as well be called "Rip Off" and "Come Down" might as well have been written by a 15 year old who tries heroin for the first time. AT least make a fricking metaphor worth a frick, Gavin. Do we need another heroin song? Oh, and "Machinehead" is now 481 football teams' opening kickoff song. That album sucked. We sucked, too.
