Superunknown is nearly 20 mins longer and clocks in around 70 mins a long listen for a newbie!!! Also Badmotorfinger has more obvious sounding singles whereas Superunknown far less so.

Badmotorfinger has "Outshined", yeah. But Superunknown has "Black Hole sun", "Fell On Black Days", "Spoonman", and "The Day I Tried to Live".

As far as singles go, I mean.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

so... unlike the majority of people here just busting out their favourites - seems to me you're digging slightly older rock with a bit of a message, and a funky groove, with a hint of mainstream sensibilities. not a bad thing.

i'll most definitely second FAITH NO MORE - ANGEL DUST - absolutely 100% awesome. ****lobber is an epic track.

you'll probably also enjoy old Red Hot Chili Peppers, particularly the Mother's Milk album.

same with the self-titled Mr. Bungle debut as well as 'Nothing's Shocking' by Jane's Addiction and 'Around the Fur' by the Deftones.

Also "Jesus Christ Pose" and "Rusty Cage"

"Jesus Christ Pose" is like one of the heavier songs I've ever heard (Listen to the man wail), and "Rusty Cage" isn't exactly very accessible for the average radio listener.

I'm not knocking Badmotorfinger, I like the album a lot, but it's hardly more accessible and listener friendly than Superunknown.

We`ll have to agree to disagree then. Best alternative is for the thread poster to just listen to both.

Alex/ · 06-30-2010, 04:56 AM

They're both classics, yeah. Get both of them.
