#106 Hole, 'Live Through This' (1994)

It’s easy and lazy to compare Courtney Love to husband, Kurt Cobain. Their music both sits in an alternative world, vocals rough and unpolished. But Love stands on her own two feet as an artist in her own right. On this record, Love sought to write more melodic music than on Hole’s debut record. Cobain and Love would push each other, musically. They were a competitive couple. The songs on this album are a departure for the band.
