Top 10 Albums of the 90s

[guerrillaradio]

Sorry, I have a High Fidelity-esque obsession with making lists (I'm talking about the excellent book by Nick Hornby here, not the crappy Hollywood adaption where John Cusack makes an arse of himself). So, come on then people, the ten best albums of the 1990s:

ME:
1. RADIOHEAD - OK Computer (1997)
2. NINE INCH NAILS - The Downward Spiral (1994)
3. TOOL - Aenema (1996)
4. REFUSED - The Shape of Punk to Come (1998)
5. NINE INCH NAILS - The Fragile (1999)
6. SLIPKNOT - Slipknot (1999)
7. ALICE IN CHAINS - Dirt (1992)
8. RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - Rage Against the Machine (1992)
9. THE PRODIGY - Fat of the Land (1997)
10. DEFTONES - Around the Fur

[libereco]

i won't attempt to make a list, but 4 and 8 are good calls.

the Alice in Chains singer died today...

[guerrillaradio]

What?? Ohmigod...that sucks. Did he OD?? I knew he was a junkie...

[Fires of History]

I agree with all of them.

But I'll forgive you for forgetting:

Pearl Jam- Ten (1991) :)

[red senator]

OK Computer is ok, but you should listen to the album "Illmatic" by Nas because it is about living in the projects and just "around the way" shit. Some leftist stuff: refering to housing project police as "Hitlers." You wouldn't think it would be such a great album, since he has dropped the ball on every album since then, including "stillmatic."

[I Will Deny You]

1. Fugees - The Score (1996)
2. Nirvana - Nevermind (1992)
3. Pearl Jam - Ten (1991)
4. Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1999)
5. Stone Temple Pilots - Purple (1994)
6. Silverchair - Freak Show (1997)
7. Mos Def - Black on Both Sides
8. Outkast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (1994)
9. Angie Stone - Black Diamond (1999)
10. Pearl Jam - Vs. (1993)

[Shyne]

all those are very good but add:

All Eyez On Me- Tupac
Dookie- Green Day


Illmatic was a very hot album, and i recommend it to everybody.

[Ho]

1-Nevermind, Nirvana
2-Ten, Pearl Jam
3-American Jesus, Bad Religion
4- all the rest i do not care

[Fatos Locos]

Mmmmm, in the list you all put Ten higher then Vs. of Pearl jam, but in my opinion Vs. is better then Ten. Ten is a little bit over produced, they really were going for the best they could do on the album and I think Vs. is more laid back, little louder and in my opinion better then Ten.

I kind of liked Erykah Badu when she first came out, but now I'm more into Jill Scott and Angie Stone.

I like hip-hop (Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def, Common, Blackstar, & Nas), soul (Jill Scott, Maxwell, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys), and a bit of R&B and rock.

[mcleodstickle]

He he, i have quite a broad range in tastes of music, Jazz, Big Band style stuff, Punk (mostly skate punk tho), hip hop, ska, i dont mind grunge, tho im not the biggest fan, so as u can see, quite a lot of different stuff!

[IzmSchism]

in no particular order,

1. bricolage, amon tobin
2. nevermind, nirvana
3. dee bop, miles davis
4. mezanine, massive attack
5. ahhh there is so many i'll just quit there,

Nas, Illmatic, great album, although what the hell is he doing now in is latest video I see him hung up on a cross.....?

Wyclef and Lauryn Hill good too, Radiohead are badazz as well, I think I would cease to live without music.

[red senator]

What's his new video? You may be thinking of "hate me now" from a few years ago. In his new video he takes part in a township rebellion in Africa. He mentions Che and Patrice Lumumba on his new album.

[Sasafrás]

Yeah, and he's got a Che button on his shirt in the "One Mic" video (The one with the rebellion) as well..

[IzmSchism]

yeah isn't he hung up on a cross in the end of the one mic video?? maybe I got hate me now mixed up, yeaah whats up with nas man, he used to have my respect until he went all NAsEscobar styles, i dont get it, now he is throwing rocks in a village? I think he be playing himself

[I Will Deny You]

I don't remember exactly what it said, but inside the Lauryn Hill album cover (from Miseducation) Che Guevara was mentioned somewhere. I'll check when I'm not too lazy to drag my ass across the room.
