Tough one. Had it been any of the first three VU albums, I would have picked them over MBV, no contest.

But this is Loaded, and outside of "Rock and Roll", "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'", the ridiculously overplayed/over-covered "Sweet Jane", and maybe "Head Held High", it isn't really up to that same level. Not for me, anyway.

Voted Loveless.

Loaded is my most visited VU jonks, while I never got the fuss over MBV.

Loveless sounds so thin, trebly and grating to me.

I went with VU, but neither of these albums really impress me.

Weird. There was a time when MBV would be running away with this one. Has the shine come off?

Regardless, I went MBV just for it's singular musical statement.

I would have gone with White Light over Loveless, but not Loaded, which is the worst of their original four.
