  1. Weezer (Blue Album) ranked 297 on rolling stones 500 greatest albums.  i like this album because it has tastefull lyrics and interesting post grunge/indie rock vibes. the album cover is very simple but very noticable making it one weezers most iconic albums.
    Rage Against The Machine (self titled) ranked 368 on rolling stones 500 greatest albums. this album is very interesting because the cover is a picture of a monk setting himself on fire as a form of protesting. the album uses no samples or synthesisers whatsoever, and the cool effects a created by the guitarist Tom Morello. it is a metal album greatly influenced by hip hop, funk, jazz beepbop and rock.
    Nirvanas second album Nevermind ranked 17th on rolling stones 500 greatest albums. it is one of the most influential and iconic rock albums of all time. my favourite song is their single " in bloom" but it also features their most famous single " smells like teen spirit".
