Have a buddy who switched the first letters of his first and last name on the initial order. When they called for their money he said that person had died. He never got another call back and kept all the cds. The 90s were wild that way. Lol can you imagine a company these days sending out products and expecting payment after!!??
I did it when I was 11 in the 80’s. Got every U2 cassette (up to Joshua Tree then) for 1 penny. Filled out the card and taped a penny to it and sent it in. I’d had no idea they’d call a few weeks later and I told them my age and “click”…Still have them all.
Dirt all day.
Omg That brings back memories! We’re you Hooked on a Feeling? Didja keep on dancing to the rock n roll on Saturday Night? 🤣
I was slightly addicted to infomercials in the 90s.
In Utero hands down...however...they are all fucking masterpieces....we were so lucky to have all of these records in the early 90s....pure fucking quality! We are probably not going to see this ever again!
Without any doubt in my mind In Utero.
Also would like to add.. RIP to Steve Albino, the man who recorded this album past away last night I believe. Although at times very strongly opinionated, was an absolute LEGEND and truly was a stand up man.. You’ll be missed, my friend.
Ten. Guaranteed Dirt wins in this sub though ("secretly" an AIC fan sub lol). That being said, Dirt would be my second pick haha. All are amazing at the end of the day.
My fav band of the 4 is probably Nirvana, but In Utero amazingly takes 4th on this list.
My band preference to album is inverse, lol.
Nirvana>AiC>STP>pJ
Ten>Core>Dirt> InUtero
In reality, the separation is so minute no one would notice a difference
Yeah I am a massive Nirvana fan, but as an album In Utero is probably second or third on my list for this question. I knew everyone here would say Dirt. I have no problem with sad/angry *themes* in music (obviously, I am a grunge fan), but I always found the emotional tone of Alice In Chains too depressing for extended listening, with the exception being if I’m already depressed.
I would probably go Ten > In Utero > Core > Dirt… maybe even switch In Utero and Core.
I have to go with In Utero cause it really got me into the grunge scene and I have a very personal connection with the album. But if we are talking by just talent Dirt wins
In Utero with Dirt a close second.
I am glad STP has garnered legitimacy as time has gone on. They deserve it and I was a fan from the start but back in the day they were panned as a Pearl Jam ripoff. I remember defending them to many a music snob in the 90’s.
I would have to say Ten due to the memories attached to the album. I can remember everything about seeing and hearing this album for the first time. I was seven years old in my kitchen. My dad showed me the poster that the cover art turned into and I thought it was so amazing! It is such a core memory for me, that I have to choose it!
Dirt
Dirt is just toooooo good.
So easy
all day
Every day
And twice on sunday...
While sitting on a chair. Not just any chair.
An ANGRY chair
No contest, Dirt wins it by many miles.
Not even close. lol. Dirt is always the answer
By far the best
By far the best.
Without a doubt 100%
It’s so obvious I feel like it’s a trick question.
Every time
All day. Love the others, but man, I love this LP.
No contest. Its the only one of these four I have maintained in my rotation since it dropped.
Yes.
and I never look back
Pick one? Please, Columbia House will give me all four 🙃🤣
Columbia House has a hit out for most of us, I'm sure.

I got "Sounds of the '70"s" off an 800 number on TV. They sent me all the cd"s, then sent me a bill that said I owed $0.00.
Omg That brings back memories! We’re you Hooked on a Feeling? Didja keep on dancing to the rock n roll on Saturday Night? 🤣 I was slightly addicted to infomercials in the 90s.
I used to "have my family members" join so I could get a shit ton of cds and just buy the required 1 then cancel them.
My dog had an account as well 😄
Dang, didn't think of that one..😂
Those were some good times
I stole all their stamps they’re angry
10 cd’s for a penny…
For just a penny
You still have to add 5 more to get the 9 for a penny.
From this time period? Pixies, The Urge, Ween, anything Jerry Cantrell Solo, and Bush.
We all owe them money 😂
*Gave
For a penny !!!
Multiple times and you’ll never have to pay them.
Yes indeed. I'll kick in an additional 8 if you send a penny.
Dirt
Dirt. But yeah, Soundgarden needs represented here as well
Yeah, what’s with STP but not Badmotorfinger?
Because some people mistakenly think that STP is grunge.
its alt rock
seriously....one of the best records from the 90s
Dirt
Dirt
Ten
I’m glad I’m not alone. I love the other albums but I couldn’t choose them over ten.
Pearl Jam was better than Nirvana but Eddie Vedder didn’t k- himself.
Dirt
Core
I AYYAMM
Smelling like the rose
That somebody gave me
in utero
If Tripod was up there, that’d be my pick Since it’s not, In Utero
If superunknown was there I’d take it
Dirt
Dirt is one of my favourites albums ever, I have listened to it hundreds of times.
Dirt
Dirt. No question 🥰
That’s a dirt one
I love them all, but Dirt is the one I'm still listening to all these years later
Ten
Dirt.
Dirt
Core, not a bad song on that album
in utero is my top 3 favorite albums of all time, picking it.
Dirt
In Utero hands down...however...they are all fucking masterpieces....we were so lucky to have all of these records in the early 90s....pure fucking quality! We are probably not going to see this ever again!
Probably Dirt.
Without any doubt in my mind In Utero. Also would like to add.. RIP to Steve Albino, the man who recorded this album past away last night I believe. Although at times very strongly opinionated, was an absolute LEGEND and truly was a stand up man.. You’ll be missed, my friend.
In utero 100%
In Utero
Core
Dirt's helped me get through some hard times
Dirt
No Soundgarden? BS
Ten. Guaranteed Dirt wins in this sub though ("secretly" an AIC fan sub lol). That being said, Dirt would be my second pick haha. All are amazing at the end of the day.
100% Lol.

Dirt
It’s a close one between In Utero and Dirt for me of these four, but I think Dirt takes it
Love and own all of these but for me, would have to be STP
Ten purely for nostalgia for me but for music purely, Dirt.
Dirt
Dirt.
AiC
All very good Albums, Dirt : Alice In Chains for me
I have to go with In Utero cause it really got me into the grunge scene and I have a very personal connection with the album. But if we are talking by just talent Dirt wins
I gotta go with Dirt purely because I think Would? is a flawless performance. Everything from the vocals to the bass to the guitar and the drums!
STP.
Dirt obvs
dirt, no questions
Dirt
Dirt, all day every day.
Dirt
Dirt all day
Alice
[NIИ] - the downward spiral
Dirt
Dirt
Dirt. It’s an album. The others are just compilations of great songs.
Easily In Utero.
in utero
In Utero
In Utero. Haven't listened to Pearl Jam in about 30 years, not much of a AIC fan and STP is just bad pop music.
In utero. Close call between dirt. But in utero is my favorite album, ever.
I love Dirt but I feel like this sub is so AIC biased. I would go Ten or In Utero probably
In Utero is in my top 10 albums. Dirt is runner-up, and I have no attachment to the other two.
In Utero, by a far margin. The most grown up of the four.
In order: In Utero, Dirt, Ten, Core
In Utero
Dirt. One of the greatest albums of all time. Second would be Soundgarden’s “Badmotorfinger”.
Imma shed tears... but I gotta take Dirt over In Utero...
In utero
Its in utero. Thats an experimental album.. grunge wise. No one cares about dirt.
In Utero. No regrets
In utero
of those 4? In Utero
This is tough but In utero. With dirt being my backup
Dirt - has gotten better over time.
AIC
Bleach
Gotta be in utero, I got a tattoo of it I love it sm
Nirvana is the best band but Dirt is the best album
In Utero with Dirt a close second. I am glad STP has garnered legitimacy as time has gone on. They deserve it and I was a fan from the start but back in the day they were panned as a Pearl Jam ripoff. I remember defending them to many a music snob in the 90’s.
In Utero
Dirt (i would choose in utero a few months ago befor i started listening to aic)
Easy. In Utero. I’m not a huge Nirvana fan, but it’s easily the best album out these 4.
In Utero
Dirt. If it was “Bleach” for Nirvana, I’d be locked in.
dirt
Dirt
I love Dirt, but nirvana will always have my heart. In Utero
Dirt!
Love them all but dirt no question
Dirt
In utreo
While I love Ten & Dirt I have to go with In Utero. My favorite Nirvana album. I could listen to that album forever no skips.
Dirt
Dirt
Dirt
In Utero
in utero
Dirt
In Utero, but that’s a hard decision to not take all 4
Core. Im totally an alice person though, i would pick facelift or sap or jar of flies or tripod over any of these
Ten
Core
Ten
Core
Core any day
Dirt. If you had STP “Purple” I would have picked that.
I could happily live the rest of my life without hearing any of Nirvana's songs again. Dirt for me.
in utero purely because it was the first one of these albums i got into
Facelift
Nirvana. The only real grunge band there. The other three are metal/classic rock.
Dirt
Dirt by a long shot.
Ten
Some days In Utero some days Core
On the heels of Albini's death I have to take In Utero today. And never STP.
I would have to say Ten due to the memories attached to the album. I can remember everything about seeing and hearing this album for the first time. I was seven years old in my kitchen. My dad showed me the poster that the cover art turned into and I thought it was so amazing! It is such a core memory for me, that I have to choose it!
Core.
Stone Temple Pilots.
Ten
Tough choice
It’d be either In Utero, Dirt Or Ten
Good thing I don’t have to choose only one!
I really can’t listen to these again
Curse you perry the platypus! Those are 3 great albums!
I love that everyone agrees on dirt (including me)
Wonder if all the Dirt answers are from the TikTok boom. Pearl Jam seemed way bigger when I was a teenager 10 years ago.
fuck its hard but gotta be in utero (best nirvana album fight me). tripod > dirt, purple > core
Twenty years ago I’d have chosen Ten hands down, now I’d choose Dirt. Time changes people lol
Dirt…it’s not even close…
Dirt hands down
All 4 albums are phenomenal in their own right. I’d probably go with Dirt though.
Dirt
I don't think anyone here has mentioned Dirt yet, so I'm going to go with Dirt.
Dirt
Dirt, for sure
Dirt. Not even close.
Dirt
dirt
Nirvana, then aic, then pj, then stp
Dirt or Core
Dirt without even a thought.
Dirt.
dirt
no brainer, Dirt
I did back then and it was Dirt.
Dirt
Dirt, hands down. My all-time favorite is Jar of Flies, though.
Dirt
