The Best Album of the 90s

[pasnow]

1. Nevermind - Nevermind
2. Vs - Pearl Jam
3. BSSM - RHCP
4. Black - Metallica
5. Ten - Pearl Jam
*. Singles Soundtrack (defined the 90's) - Various Artists
7. Achtung Baby - U2
8. Superunknown - Soundgarden
9. Ritual De Lo Habitual - Jane's Addiction
10. Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins
10*. Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled Debut

Since no Soundtracks were allowed, I'll place Rage Against the Machine  in at 10 with an asterik. I was never a big Rage fan but feel since they pretty much invented the whole rap/rock style with their debut, I'll give them the nod ahead of other great albums.

I hate when these threads turn into a list of each poster's 100 favourite albums/songs.  Why don't you guys try to narrow it down to one choice and defend that choice?  We already know there are a long list of great albums released in the 90s!

1. Amorica- The Black Crowes
2. Blood Sugar Sex Majik- RHCP
3. Use Your Illusion I
4. Shake Your Money Maker- The Black Crowes
5. The Downward Spiral-NIN

nirvana is not that great. they do not deserve the title best album of the 90s.

NOTE: Personal Opinion.


Metallicas Black Album and the Illusions records is in top.

sorry i didn't realize it was only supposed to be a single album

right now my single fav 90's album is No More Tears...just incredible all around

Zakk Wylde really came into his own on it, Ozzy's lyrics and vocals shine, 5 singles (I don't Wanna Change The World, Mama I'm Comin' Home, No More Tears, Hellraiser, Road To Nowhere), Randy Castillo and Mike Inez are also Incredible on it

just the perfect album, it really can't get any better IMO

[pasnow]

Adnan - Cool choice on Black Crowes 'Shake your Money Maker" . I was thinking about adding that into my list, not your typical "90's" album.

#1, I'd have to say Nevermind , sounds cliche but IMHO that is as close to perfection in an album as I'd like to hear.

NOTE: Personal Opinion.

Plus I'm sure alot has to due with where I was in life, 19, just out of high school, didn't like many kids in my college... kinda not fitting in socially at the time. Listening to those songs was my escape & stated the words I wanted to say. (Still not sure what, just angst I suppose). On A Plain is my favorite Nirvana song ("I love myself, I'm better than you, I know it's wrong, but what should I do...")

My albums speak for themselves, and the are in order of awesomeness, even if they're all great. The guys listing pop albums are easily ignored, anyway.

I think he was saying pick "The Best Album" (ie. 1) not name 18 different great albums.

Well he technically did pick the best. It's number one on his list.

True, but if you can't stop them, join them.

[GNR_Green]

1- Bathory- Hammerheart
2- Death- Human
3- Graveland- Thousand Swords
4- Megadeth- Rust In Peace
5- The Chasm- Deathcult For Eternity: The Triumph
6- Judas Priest- Painkiller
7- Cynic- Focus
8- Dissection- Storm of the Light's Bane
9- Slough Feg- Twilight of the Idols
10- Iced Earth- Night of the Stormrider

And there were dozens that came close. The 90's brought us some great music.

The only list in this thread I respect.

If I was forced to say one album, probably Rust I Peace by Megadeth.  The people who are saying Black album or (chuckle) Load really don't have a good handle on metal imo and should be ignored.

I agree with this

But I think is not only metal that should be listed, I think it has to be all genres imo.
