My favourite album of '93 is the 2nd version of Body Blow. I figure having 2 songs removed and 4 new ones added (plus a couple of remixes) is enough to make it a distinct album. My favourite track on it by far is one of the new ones...

8 Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies

1.) Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

I thought that was a '94 release. What source files it for 1993?

 

[Sophii]

Oh fuck it is

I just saw it on Jimmy's list and thought "oh fuck!"

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

It did make me wonder why two people would come to that same conclusion. It made the top ten for '94, so it definitely not eligible for '93.

 

[Sophii]

I fixed mine back to what it was.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Good boy.

 

[Sophii]

Rush - Counterparts isnt the strongest Rush release but hot damn its got a lot of good songs.

Also: Quicksand >>>> Tool

 

[jimmy101]

Fixed my list too.
