@milo - Have you tried an online share point form?

If you have the list in excel I believe you can just upload direct.
 
There's only four I think worthy of 'best album of the 90's'. Some of the albums listed I've never heard, some I've heard and not been fussed, some should be nowhere near that list.
Some have got excellent tracks, but with some 'filler' on them, so I've narrowed it down to albums I want to listen to from start to finish:
  • Beastie Boys - Check your head
  • Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
  • Happy Mondays - Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches
  • The Beta Band - The Three E.P.'s
If I had to pick one it would be Beastie Boys, but I'd have trouble choosing which one.
 
A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Beastie Boys - Check your head
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
DJ Shadow - Entroducing
Frank Zappa - Strictly Commercial

Guru - Jazzmatazz
Jurassic 5 - Jurassic 5
Mad Season - Above

Pavement - Wowee Zowee
Pavement - Brighten the Corners
Pavement - Terror Twilight
Pearl Jam - Ten
Pearl Jam - Vs
Radiohead - The Bends
Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
REM - Out of Time

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
The Wildhearts - Earth vs the Wildhearts

Nirvana - Unplugged In New York

Edit: had 26 entries.
 
I know I'm allowed to choose 25, but I'm gonna boil it down to a couple.

IMO, the 90's was the best for hip-hop and dance music. Some people think the late 80's for hip-hop, but imo most of that stuff sounds very dated, whereas when you listen to the best 90's hip-hop, it stands the test of time. I think with other genres, say rock or metal, it is easy to argue that other decades had the superior music in those genres.

There were many great hip-hop albums in this decade. The one I'm choosing isn't my favourite, but it spawned so many other good albums and is an excellent album in it's own right. It was put forward by quite a few other posters:

Wu-Tang Clan -- Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

My other pick is a dance album. I decided to go for what I think is the best album from one of the most successful dance acts of all time.

The Prodigy -- Music for The Jilted Generation
