John Miller's Top 10 Non-Nirvana Albums of All Time

First I must start of by saying all Nirvana's material has reached a state of nirvana. All their albums, singles, compilations and used toilet paper are above all other band's albums, singles, compilations and used toilet paper in my opinion. These 10 albums I love to listen to straight through without skipping a single track.

With that said these are.....
John Miller's Top 10 Non-Nirvana Albums of All Time
Numero 10

Bangles
Everything 1988

Growing up this was my very first album I called my own. No Manic Monday, No walking like an Egyptian or Hazy Shade of Winter this album featured "Eternal Flame", "Be With You" and many other songs I loved and sang with my sisters at the wonderful age of ten.
Favorite song: "Be With You"







number 9......number 9?

Our Lady Peace
Clumsy 1997

This album opened up my mind to the possibility that Canadians can rock too. Raine is an amazing singer that pours emotion into every syllable. The music full of powerful power chords and great melodies.
Favorite song: "Car Crash"







8 is great!!!

Bush
Razorblade Suitcase 1996

Sixteen Stone was great but Razorblade Suitcase burns holes in my tympanic membranes. Mouth, Swallowed, Cold Contageous, Insect Kin, Bonedriven...et cetera just amazing. Gavin sorta turned into a yuppie maybelline man but before he did he made a wonderful album I'll always enjoy.
Favorite song: "Insect Kin"






Make 7 up yours!!!
Sonic Youth
Dirty 1992

Kim Gordons best showing vocally on a Sonic Youth album. Songs on Dirty are tighter than most of their other albums, less drawn out ambient measures and more energy. Start to finish this album takes you for a ride.
Favorite song: "Creme Brulee" (the whole album)








Number 6 pick up hicks!!!

Nine Inch Nails
Pretty Hate Machine 1989

Nine Inch Nails debut album showed me how synths and keyboards should be used. Darkness, anger, jealousy and rebellion make great songs. Just an album I cant skip tracks when I listen to it. Favorite song: "Kinda I Want To"










Johnny 5 Alive!

Metallica
...and Justice For All 1988

I know this album doesn't have a bass on it but with James, Lars and Kirk do you really need to hear Jason? Early Metallica was the best and this album was my favorite in junior high, still love thruway and ghetto driving with this one cranked.
Favorite song: "The Frayed Ends of Sanity"






Number 4 your mom's a whore!!!

Queens Of The Stone Age Lullabies To Paralyze 2005

This album was stuck in my car stereo for close to 2 years. I know this album inside out, every note every word. I didn't get sick of it at all, it would have been nice to listen to something else in the car during that time but great songs. Favorite song: "Everybody Knows That You're Insane"





Number 3 WHOOPIE!!! (not Goldberg)

Soundgarden
Superunknown 1994

Ah Soundgarden Superunknown not a huge fan of Spoonman but big fan of the rest. Black Hole Sun is one of those overplayed songs that should be played more. Fell on Black Days, Fourth of July, The Day I Tried To Live, My Wave, Let Me Drown awesome.
Favorite Song: "Limo Wreck"








Number 2 WOOHOO!!! but not like Blur
Radiohead
OK Computer 1997
The flow of this album is something to behold. Sweet and sour inflections in Thom Yorke's voice throughout the album keeps me from skipping. "No Surprises" sums up the demeanor I share naturally on a day to day. "Paranoid Android" is like a late 90's Stairway to Heaven in my opinion.
Favorite Song: "Paranoid Android"









and John Miller's #1 Non-Nirvana Album of All Time is.................(drum roll please)











Number one and I'm done!!!

Smashing Pumpkins
Siamese Dream 1993
I used to listen to this tape nonstop walking up and down Seneca as a yute till the batteries ran out and Billy sang all slow. Couldve been the album of my generation if it wasnt for Nirvana's Nevermind. Favorite Song:

1. Cherub Rock
2. Quiet
3. Today
4. Hummer
5. Rocket
6. Disarm
7. Soma
8. Geek U.S.A.
9. Mayonaise
10. Spaceboy
11. Silverfuck
12. Sweet Sweet
13. Luna

Things I Hate

So I must be miserable but I'm okay because I don't want to be. I'm not dangerous because I don't want to harm anyone. I don't think I'm a hateful person at all because I don't hate a single person personally. It's sorta funny because I can hate what groups of people stand for and believe and insist upon but never hate them for standing, believing and insisting.

What I hate is how the government steals my children for 6-7 hours a day and when they get home they have to spend a 8th blasted hour doing school at home. They couldn't figure it out in school? And I say steal because that's what it is I cant very well keep them home or they will be taken away as some form of neglect. "So why don't you home school them?" Well first of all you have to get with the horsecrap they are teaching them, the required state ciriculum. Secondly I had lackluster grades at the indoctrination center growing up so who would I be to teach them what the government wants them to learn. I'd teach them the truth all day long instead of trying to correct the false all the time. Focus on day to day real life learning how to do physical tasks well and areas they are really interested naturally. Of course the English language, Math needed in life and proper communication skills. Enough about school, can't wait for my kid's summer vacation to start. Oh you like school?, good for you.

I hate the

-Television, it's mind control programming on so many levels. Not to mention a waste of time. Fear tactic, CIA driven news media! OMGOSH DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED? WE CAN effin RELATE BECAUSE WE SAW THE SAME THING. Agenda knee jerk shit. Real life is dramatic enough what do we need actors portraying drama in a made up story? Sports? Been there, done that! What are we gonna watch the same games forever? Oh you like TV blah?, good for you.

-Cars running on century old technology. Cars in general, the whole fact that we all drive generally what we wouldn't walk to work. If we worked for our communities one for another we wouldn't need cars or have to use them that often. Family trips or emergency scenarios for sure but Saudi prince wealth would be irrelevant, he'd have to lift a finger.
