Thriller was released a bit before SMS but probably only by a year or so. It definitely knocked people out but my recollection of it was about the namesake video more than anything. But I could be mistaken because I was definitely not into that kind of music so my awareness of it has probably been minimized.<BR/><BR/>Nevermind, though, I think is great for the really broad, sweeping changes it brought...not just the sound but the look, the dis-affectation, the whole GenX thing. No question its a great album. Maybe even better than SMS but I'm having a hard time making up my mind on that. I have a bit of a hard time with this because I'd been a follower of Soundgarden's music since the mid/late-80's when Rolling Stone ran their first story on them. So this notion that some people have that Nirvana brought us grunge is just wrong.<BR/><BR/>But Nevermind that (!), SMS wasn't the first of its kind, either; it merely popularized that brand of alt-rockpop. So thanks for the pointer back to Nirvana. They definitely showed us a new kind of cool. Too bad it came to a screeching halt and Cobain was so tormented.KHMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370307704273976378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695488.post-26985643693364265962007-11-05T12:17:00.000-05:002007-11-05T12:17:00.000-05:00How about Michael Jackson's Thriller album?Or Nirv...How about Michael Jackson's <I>Thriller</I> album?<BR/><BR/>Or Nirvana's <I>Nevermind</I>?Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042600014262648084noreply@blogger.com
