Smash
8.  Smash by The Offspring
The list author says:

Razorblade Suitcase
9.  Razorblade Suitcase by Bush
The list author says:
  "Many argue that Bush were a band that chose to rape Kurt Cobain's grave.  I reckon, however, that they have a far softer edge only rarely touched upon by Nirvana.  Elegant and poised."
£8.88   Used & New from: £0.01

The Colour and the Shape
10.  The Colour and the Shape by Foo Fighters
The list author says:
  "A completely different vein to previous band Nirvana, but arguably it's equally brilliant in it's own way.  A pop masterpiece."
£13.44   Used & New from: £0.28
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (106 customer reviews)

Polythene
18.  Polythene by Feeder

The Bends
23.  The Bends by Radiohead

Rotten Apples: Greatest Hits
24.  Rotten Apples: Greatest Hits by Smashing Pumpkins
The list author says:
  "For those who want a better snapshot of this band, I'd have to recommend "Melon Collie".  But, as far as compilations go, this is pretty much as all-encompassing as it is possible to get on just 2 CDs"
