Released: 1994

Live Through This

by Hole

The 132nd greatest album of all time

Live Through This, released in 1994 by Hole, blends grunge, punk, and alternative rock with raw, guitar-driven arrangements and strong melodic hooks. Courtney Love's vocals move between snarling aggression and vulnerable melody, anchored by lyrics that confront gender, identity, and personal trauma. The album pairs abrasive textures with pop-influenced songcraft, forming a defining statement for the band within 1990s alternative rock.
