Sorry if I'm posting too much. I try not to condense things too much for the sake of replies and discussion. I'll check and see if I have anymore problems and post them here.

OK, Joni Mitchell... folk ROCK? I literally just heard that album today and it has no rock to it. It's soft, too soft for rock. Not rock. Why not replace it with Buffalo Springfield Again? Or CSNY/CSN? Wikipedia may say the album's folk rock, but hundreds of fans on RYM state otherwase. They label it as Contemporary Folk and Singer/Songwriter.

Ten in post-grunge? Melvins in grunge? Melvins are a sludge band that helped to influence grunge, but they aren't. I would know. I run a wiki on the subject and have heard over 170 grunge albums. I'm that big on it. Pearl Jam might've steered into post-grunge later in the years, but post-grunge wasn't even around in 91. So I think Ten should be replaced by Throwing Copper by Live, a very notable post-grunge act, and moved to the grunge list as Pearl Jam is a member of the big four of grunge, replacing Melvins. If we're going to worry about metal, we shouldn't allow Melvins. I understand Operation Mindcrime had already been used, but we still knocked that off partially due to the fact that it's metal.

Only two problems. Everything else is fine in my opinion. It's just those three things (including the above post) that I think should be changed.

One more thing. Sorry if I'm working too much on this. But I like helping out on places and I'm kind of bored. I'm looking forward to the survivors, so that's what's on my mind.
