Honestly, my favorite Nirvana release is FROM THE MUDDY BANKS OF THE WISHKAH, because even the shitty songs sound good live. Well, Heart-Shaped box will never sound good... I think Bleach has a couple really good songs, as does In Utero ("SCENTLESS APPRENTICE"!!!!) which is about 1/3rd of a really great album. But incesticide rules. I think the Cure are just awful aside from some singles, but I like that album, because it's like the Cure trying to be Wire or something. And the Smiths are a band I loved in middle school but looking back, they have some major MAJOR spotty things in their material -- every album has a couple really great songs but every album also has some awful shit. Louder than Bombs, though, is awesome.
Anyway, I'd like to nominate MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE - Tight to this thread. It actually sounded original and interesting, like a very minimal electro punk band with some awesome songs like "Molly". Completely unlike anything that had came before it. They were awful after that though.
