Best Album of the 1990s

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

"Ritual De Lo Habitual" - Jane's Addiction

 

[Damocles]

"Shake Your Money Maker" - The Black Crowes

I was just about to post this one.

I think I'll just make one post. Any duplicates don't really matter anyway.

"Seasons In the Abyss" - Slayer

 

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

Slayer's "Seasons In the Abyss" is the hardest album of the 90s...and nothing in this decade even comes close.

 

[Damocles]

In no particular order...

Tool - "Aenima"
Slayer - "Seasons In The Abyss"
Metallica - "The Black Album"
GNR - "Use Your Illusion I & II"
NIN - "Broken"
Korn - "Korn"
Rage Against The Machine - "Evil Empire"
Godsmack - "Godsmack"

 

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

Unfortunately, gave up listening to what is generically referred to as "Rap" when "Gangster Rap" became preeminent. I can't speak with any degree of knowledge pertaining to said genre after the 80's.

Cypress I must say your ratings for the 70s and 80s are much better. Half that stuff honestly makes me want to vomit.

For me and most of my favorites lie in the decade of the 90s

Tool - Aenima
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
Nas - Illmatic
Biggie Smalls - Ready to Die
Fear Factory - Demanufacture
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Pearl Jam - Vs.
Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers
Nirvana - Nevermind
Fugees - The Score
Scarface - The Diary
Tribe Called Quest- Low End Theory
2pac - All Eyes On me
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled

For some reason I though season came out in 89 I looked it up and noticed it was 90 so I'll third AC and Damo on that one.

smashing pumpkins "Gish"
seems to have been forgotten

 

[IHateGovernment]

I never liked Smashing pumpkins I atribute it to really hating Billy Corgan's voice I guess the same could be said for Green Day.

 

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

Gish had some good songs, but wasn't a great album

 

[Agnosticus_Caesar]

"Live in Concert" - G3 (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson)

 

[Cypress]

I wasn't neccessarily picking my favorites. I was picking the albums that were the most influential, that were the most widely heard, and that most people have heard of - i.e., the "best" of the 1990s. That's how these "best of" lists traditionally are constructed.

"Broken" - NIN

I don't know how I could have left NIN off my list. That was lame of me.

 

[evince]

there is nothing wrong with Billie Joe Armstrongs voice

 

[Dalai_Lama]

One Fierce Beer Coaster - Bloodhound Gang

 

[Cypress]

I don't know how I could have left NIN off my list. That was lame of me.

Oh Christ, I can't believe I left off of my list "Dookie" by Green Day.

 

[evince]

great CD

 

[Augustine]

In order:

1. Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins
2. The Color and the Shape - Foo Fighters
3. Gish - Smashing Pumpkins
4. Superunknown - Soundgarden
5. Under the Table and Dreaming - Dave Matthews Band
6. OK Computer - Radiohead
7. New Way to Be Human - Switchfoot
8. "Blue Album" - Weezer
9. Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

I am not actually sure #9 is a 90s album, but it has to be close. Late 90s or maybe early 2000.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Creed - "Human Clay"

I'll forgive you for being drunk whenever you said that, Damo.
