The Retro.Rocks!

Released right after the famous Ten album, Vs. is also a must-have album for the 90's rocker collection. Included songs "Rearview Mirror", "Go", "Dissident", "Indifference" - this Pearl Jam work is a must-have. This album didn't seem to get as much radio love as the Ten album did, but is, in our opinion just as strong. Radio seemed to only like "Daughter", which debatably isn't the best of tracks on this one. If you love grunge and Pearl Jam, you'll love Vs.!

One of our favs here at The Retro. The Black Keys is one of our core artists although in our opinion Brothers is there best studio album, El Camino doesn't disappoint. This one features awesome tracks like "Lonely Boy", "Gold on the Ceiling" & "Run Right Back". Released in 2011 it didn't get much support on the radio- at least not in the Southern California area but it definitely deserved it. Check it out, add it to your collection, definitely worth it!

If you're into an acoustic, soul wrenching, knock down drag out emotional ride of what music can do to your mind this is the album for you! A stripped down pure delivery of raw talent is displayed in this performance like we have never seen from any other artist! Yeah we like this album just a little bit! Deserving the title of the "Greatest Performance EVER" in our opinion of course, if you haven't heard this album, you are not only in for a treat, it will change your musical palet forever! Keep it Rocking!

Gotta have it for the master collection it is. Check out "Get Born Again" & "What the Hell Have I" on this collection assuming you already have all the other individual albums. If you are looking to become an AIC fan this is a good collection to get right away as it gives all the greatest hits in one place. Keep it Rocking!

This is AIC's Self-Titled work, known as the three-legged dog album - many refer to as the "Tripod" album, a must have in any grunge fan's collection. Sludge Factory probably the favorite track on the album, but it's hard to choose when you have Over Now, Frogs, God AM, Heaven Beside You.........LOL I guess we like all the tracks on this album! Keep it Rocking! Layne Forever Missed!

I can still remember where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard the Jar Of Flies EP by Alice In Chains: in my dad's garage cleaning it out despite his pleas for me to leave the garage alone, haha! I spent the whole day in that garage replaying the 30 minute CD. It's a masterpiece, and shows the amazing songs off in ways only stripping them down can do. A few of the songs also being featured on AIC's MTV Unplugged live album: "Nutshell" and "No Excuses". FUN FACT: Jerry Cantrell spent the whole show sick as a dog because he ate a bad hotdog from a New York City street vendor. It was also one of the last shows Layne Staley would play with Alice In Chains (the last show being held July 3rd, 1996 in Kansas City while touring with KISS).

When you get a song from an album like "Bleed the Freak" on a debut release you know it's a must have album and a band you will most likely love forever and never forget through your musical path. This album released in 1990 was the establishment of AIC in the rock, grunge world. Songs like Sea of Sorrow, Man in the Box, We Die Young were the first glimpse of what talent this band brought to the grunge sound. This album embarked the staple Layne & Jerry would make on the world forever more! Keep it Rocking!

This is an incredible album from Soundgarden. An absolute must have in your collection if you are a grunge fan. With tracks like "Black Hole Sun", "Limo Wreck" & "Kickstand" it doesn't disappoint. We play most of this album in regular rotation, it is a timeless classic of the 1990's.

It is what is says it is "Essential" LOL! Two disk collection of the greatest hits. A good one to get if you don't have all the other albums. This collection also has "A Litter Bitter" remixed from Music Bank which is pretty cool. Definately a get if you are shallow in your AIC collection. Keep it Rocking!

Probably the most main stream popular album by Alice in Chains, Dirt offers timeless radio classics like Rooster, Would & Angry Chair. It also includes the amazing works of Dam that River, Rain When I Die and Them Bones. If you claim to be AIC fan this album is a required piece in the collection. If you are just starting your Grunge journey this album is the guiding light to the sound of Grunge mixed with an undertone of blues rock. Dare we make the acclaimation that this one of the Best Albums of All Time! Keep it Rocking!
