My nephew is 19, has been through some tough family stuff, struggled as many of us have. Loves the grunge. I got him into guitar, bought him a Danelectro DC59 and a Fender Mustang amp. Took him to see his first show at maybe 13 or 14yo: Dick Dale at the Whiskey A GoGo. He is getting into buying records, so we took him to Amoeba on his most recent visit. He bought In Utero and some Mayhem comp. I decided this selection was weighted too heavily in depression/despair and a history of murder/suicide, so to balance them out I gave him extra copies of these we already had:
Sandy Bull: Fantasias
Sandy Bull: E Pluribus Unum
Pharoah Sanders: Karma
John Coltrane: Art Of John Coltrane (Atlantic era comp)
Ravi Shankar: Three Ragas
Beatles: Abbey Road
(Maybe a few other I can’t remember)
