#1. “Dangerous” – Michael Jackson: Why not? Already owner of the largest selling album of all-time, the “King of Pop” is more dangerous than ever with this thriller. And he’s found the ultimate cure for worldly problems: music. No doubt, Michael Jackson is bad. #2. “Ten” – Pearl Jam: The newest of the megabands. When […]
Nirvana – “In Utero” Nirvana’s third album, “In Utero,” was released on September 21st. Run, don’t walk, to your nearest music store to buy this incredible collaboration of music.
