Today is your lucky day I never pass up an opportunity to type paragraphs about my favorite albums. The albums in the 3x3, from the top left moving right:

Pretty on the Inside by Hole- grunge, 'live through this' is the hole album everyone knows but this one is better. top tracks Good Sister Bad Sister, Pretty on the Inside.

Around the Fur by Deftones- nu metal. classic.

Fontanelle by Babes in Toyland- hard rock/riot grrl. All hail Kat Bjelland. top track Handsome and Gretel

FIDLAR by FIDLAR- punk, their first album, also their best one, they got signed and their music got worse... many such cases. cheap beer, stoked and broke, no waves, whore, max can't surf, wake bake skate, cocaine, basically the entire album,

Plastic Surgery Disasters by Dead Kennedys- CLASSIC hardcore punk, terminal preppie, haloween, dead end, moon over marin is also funny- DK is very good at weaving satire in with the lyrics.

Humid Teenage Mediocrity by Jack off Jill- goth rock, top tracks media c-section, kringle, spit and rpe

UAIOE by KMFDM (damn thats a lot of letters!)- industrial/electronic- i will admit this one is a little mid but the stand out tracks stand OUT. UAIOE, More and Faster 243 (its camp), En Esch. (their first demo album opium 1984 is also killer, very grimy sound. legend has it they found the cassettes in a box next to some rotting sausages and thats about what it sounds like.)

When The Kite String Pops by Acid Bath- CLASSIC doom metal. The Blue / Cheap Vodka/ Dope Fiend / Cassie Eats Cockroaches. but really the whole album transitions between songs so well you really should just listen to it through. blasted this one on the work speaker and got in a bit of trouble.

Slip it In by Black Flag- LOST MY SHOE IN THEIR MOSH PIT!! classic hardcore punk. top tracks slip it in and black coffee. Can't Decide is also good.

honorable mentions: Pornographic Seizures by Sanguisugabogg (grind? doom? metal), SPAM CALLER (hardcore punk, only on bandcamp afaik), milo goes to college and everything sucks by descendents (in a grey area- more pop punk than black flag, harder core than say blink 182. hovering around the level of early green day? myage, suburban home, everything sux, hateful notebook)
Looking at the chart now I would actually probably swap out slip it in for pornographic seizures, but what's done is done... thank you all for coming thus ends the speech

you know what they say about big shoes... not to mention the honkers
