What is your list for top 10 albums of the 90s? I should probably have made this 2000-2009, but I think the 90s had so much better music. I can listen to these albums over and over again. Damn, that makes me feel old. 10) Dr. Dre - The Chronic 9) Radiohead - The Bends 8) Soundgarden - Superunknown 7) Fuel - Sunburn 6) The Offspring - Smash 5) Pearl Jam - Ten 4) Sublime - Sublime 3) Weezer - Blue Album 2) Radiohead - Ok Computer 1) Nirvana - Nevermind There were quite a few others, hard to pick top 10. Others included: Additional Nirvana, no doubt, sublime, RATM, B.I.G, Snoop, RHCP, tool, etc etc etc.
off the top of my head, so not in complete order 1. before these crowded streets - dave matthews band 2. this desert life - counting crows 3. three snakes and one charm - the black crowes 4. achtung baby - u2 5. low end theory - a tribe called quest 6. siamese dream - smashing pumpkins 7. the bends - radiohead 8. vs. - pearl jam 9. dirty - sonic youth 10. bizarre ride II the pharcyde - the pharcyde
raj's definitive look back at the 1990's: Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque Faith No More - Angel Dust Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorist Metallica - Eponymous Alice in Chains - Dirt Urge Overkill - Saturation Oasis - Definitely Maybe Suede - Eponymous Fu Manchu - No One Rides for Free
nice! A lot of people say Ten, but I agree that Vs. is their best. I will have to think about this one (i.e., go through my iTunes library) before answering. I can say Nevermind would be my number one, and it would include at least one Pavement album.
in no order: soundgarden -superunknown dr dre: chronic green day: dookie Korn: self-titled Rage Against the Machine: self-titled Sublime-self titled Offspring-Smash smashing pumpkings: melancholy and the infinite sadness Notorius BIG - Life after Death Hootie and Blowfish: Cracked Rear View (yeah I said it!)
Thus far, the following bands have been mentioned: Offspring Korn Hootie and Blowfish Fuel All the while, raj regurgitates his Belgian Waffles repeatedly.
In no particular order: 1) The Jesus Lizard - Liar 2) NoMeansNo - 0 + 2 = 1 3) Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 - Strangers from the Universe 4) Amon Tobin - Bricolage 5) Beastie Boys - Check Your Head 6) Unsane - Occupational Hazard 7) Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory 8) Les Savy Fav - The Cat and the Cobra 9) Monster Magnet - Spine of God 10) The Jesus Lizard - Goat.

Would like to nominate "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain." I also just discovered On Avery Island by Neutral Milk Hotel. Just phenomenal... but then I crave low-fi genius.

10) Oasis-Definitely Maybe 9) Pavement- Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain 8) Neutral Milk Hotel-In the Aeroplane Over the Sea 7) Son Volt-Trace 6) Yo La Tengo-I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One 5) Weezer-S/T 4) Nirvana-Nevermind 3) Pavement-Slanted & Enchanted 2) Radiohead-The Bends 1) Radiohead-OK Computer I'm sure I forgot a few (Pixies-Bossanova comes to mind)...but those are my personal top 10 off the top of my head
1. The Verve- A Northern Soul 2. Boards of Canada- Music Has the Rights to Children 3. Verve- A Storm in Heaven 4. The Black Crowes- Amorica 5. The Church- Hologram of Bhall 6. Spiritualized- Lazer Guided Melodies 7. Primal Scream- Echo Dek 8. The Black Crowes- 3 Snakes and 1 Charm 9. Massive Attack- Mezzanine 10. Spiritualized- Ladies and Gentlemen
I don't have a top 10, but the only one I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral. Definitely a classic.
