Not as timeless as albums it was compared too, but ok for a listen through

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Holds up. Almost the definition of timeless

The Stone Roses

4/5

Really surprised how much I am enoying this. Based on their name alone I was not a fan. Evan Dando/Lemonheads vibes for sure. Also see how blur, oasis were likely influenced.

2112

Rush

3/5

a little too 70's. Very hair rock whiny vocals at times.
