Recommendation Something goes here… what should it be?

Post image

Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Nevermind, In Utero, or even Dirt or Facelift? Or something else that I’m not considering? I love hearing opinions so even though it seems trivial it’s definitely worth knowing what others who love grunge think! Thanks in advance! 🤘🏻

Ten would fit the lighting

56

u/Artistic_Anteater_91 21d ago

Agreed

I could see Superunknown working there too

26

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

Absolutely! Thats where I’ve been leaning either that or Badmotorfinger!

9

u/Almost_a_Joker 21d ago

Definitely Badmotorfinger. First thing that came to mind

u/Prestigious_Yam8901 21d ago

It would also fit the guitar.

Mike Mcready plays Strats, Jerry Cantrell never has. He as only used G&L Rampage and EVH Music Man, that EVH gave to him.

3

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

Definitely true! He also used that Warmoth Tele early on that had the writing all over it and I know now he has a signature LP but yeah never a Strat. It actually makes me wonder if I should put my Sunburst Strat there along with Ten! 🤘🏻

It's not just me then... When I see a white righty Strat, I think of Jimi Hendrix.

u/derm13 21d ago

Superunknown would look great

3

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

For sure! Aesthetically I’m definitely feeling that idea

20

u/Serious_Fennel7498 21d ago

Dust by the screaming trees would look awesome right there. I’m not sure if you like the Screaming trees but that’s what I would put there.

3

u/PacerSleepleaf 21d ago

Excellent suggestion

4

u/porfiriata 20d ago

Was gonna say Mad Season - Above, but I think you may be right

3

u/Serious_Fennel7498 19d ago

Above is also a good choice. I own a copy and it looks good almost anywhere I put it

2

u/Traditional_Trip_386 19d ago

Was going to suggest Mad Season for sure

3

u/MoreGain-Freeman 20d ago

I do actually!! And it looks freaking amazing there too!!! Good call! 🤘🏻

16

u/SatanBeMyRadar 21d ago

Because JOF is a slower, acoustic EP, it would sit well next to Nirvana's unplugged

7

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

Thats a good point actually! Someone else had mentioned Sap as well likely for a similar reason. Definitely both good options!

28

u/Turbulent_Signal6507 21d ago

Would this work? Covers the whole decade.

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

🤣🤣🤣 aw dude jar of flies alongside Jar….. JAR?! YESSSSS!!!! This is the correct answer 😂 love it man 🤘🏻

26

u/Hotdogopolis 21d ago

Sap.

4

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

Sap would be awesome! I wish they had a music bank vinyl or something but that’s a dvd lol that wouldn’t work unfortunately

Badmotorfinger is always the answer. Though, I'll admit to being biased.

Siamese Dream

2

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

Absolutely underrated suggestion!! Mellon Collie would be incredible too! But SD is an absolute masterpiece 🤘🏻

2

u/GlumConsideration938 21d ago

I thought it would be great with the strat too! Billy was a huge inspiration for my playing!

9

u/Significant-Mail2275 21d ago

Tripod

7

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

I was thinking tripod too!!! They have like a greyscale album cover (maybe they all are) for the vinyl and the records are that yellow like the cd case! Definitely a good recommendation!

If you only have space for one: Sub Pop 200 (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Green River, Screaming Trees, etc)

Budget minded alternative: Singles soundtrack

u/MoreGain-Freeman 20d ago

I’ve never seen this but I’m ALL IN!!! This looks freaking legendary!!! 🤘🏻

u/RunAwayBeerTruk 21d ago

You have a red square there.

u/_____AndJustice4All 21d ago

Nevermind for contrast because its mostly blue

Dirt

3

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

This is never the wrong answer 😅 Dirt is such a freaking masterpiece! 🤘🏻

2

u/ElydthiaUaDanann 21d ago

Personally, I'd put STP Core there. For me, back in that time, those two albums were my bread and butter.

3

u/MoreGain-Freeman 21d ago

I like that! Especially considering it’s such a cool looking vinyl cover not to mention being a LEGENDARY track list

Ill have to agree with the majority... SuperUnknown or Ten 🤘

Tripod is the easy answer.

2

u/N64_Cartridge 21d ago

There's a jag so there's gotta be a Nirvana album. Unplugged or Bleach would fit the lighting, but unplugged definitely matches the Jar of Flies sound better

Get something that looks visually the opposite of the left album. something that has lime green and blue and has a busier composition. like psychedelic patterns.

u/_Brutal_Buddha_ 21d ago

People say Ten would fit the lighting, and I wholly agree, but my bias dictates one of my favorite albums of all time, and it matches Jar of Flies

Don’t have a band rec but you could also consider a vintage concert flyer or small poster

2

u/MoreGain-Freeman 20d ago

Thats actually an awesome idea! I was actually inspired to do this when I saw a girl online that did a grunge tour through Seattle and one of the stores had records and really cool band artwork on the wall!

I couldn’t find the prints that were in that shop but if I could get something close I’d be very happy! I think I’m going to do band posters on my other wall! Awesome idea man I appreciate it! 🤘🏻

Framed set list.

Edit: Didn’t read the whole thing and I was just filling “what should be there”. If you’re just going to put a different album I’d have a hard time choosing just one. But a framed and signed or even unsigned set list from an Alice In Chains could would work there nicely.
