Best album of the 90s

[milo]

I was thinking more of Steps...

Or revisit their debut in a bossa nova style

I think we need a different mod to oversee this thread.

That's true of most threads

What did you think you were getting when you bought an album by a band called 'Rage Against the Machine'? Surely there's a pretty big hint in the title as to what type of music it'll be?

Absolutely. Didn't say it was a bad album. Just not for me....or anyone that likes lyric construction and/or melodies

 

[dawaxman]

You know that Pavement pre-date Beck

I did not know that....so they were the originators of that sing-out-of-tune style were they? Assume they got fed up of making that 'sound' eventually....or was it that their 12 fans stopped buying and moved on to Taylor Hicks?

Nah, there were loads of out of tune bands before them.

Where's the rich body of music Bowie produced in the 90s?

Some really great songs, but the albums he released in the 90's where not the best. Varying quality imo.

 

[Baleforce]

inspired, treating the office to RATM this morning

forget the 90's, one of the greatest albums of all time for me

 

[Kandi1977]

You're probably right

But, I nominated simply red purely as a commercial option

And I stand by my decision on ratm. I returned the album because it made me angry. I like music to make me happy, not angry

All subjective though.

I'm sure pavement are great really. Shame they ran out of material just about the same time as beck did....

I was banned from playing RATM in a lot of clubs, because people went crazy and basically destroyed the inventory.

If RATM doesn't win I will throw the biggest hissy fit...

 

[AuroRaman]

@milo excellent work compiling the list. What a great thread.

Which would be apt because the album sounds a lot like a giant hissy fit

F**k you, Milo won't do what you tell him

Oooh, are Skunk Anansie worthy? They just came on the radio. What was the second album called again, Stoosh, that was it. Probably doesn't hold up to a lot of the classics on the list...

Great voice on the singer, not altogether good music. Pretty good as an acoustic act.

They're on the list

 

[Lemonade Money]

RATM where ok, just lacking some X factor.

Dr Dre and the chronic says hi

 

[Baleforce]

going on sales alone from the GG nominations it's a Metallica win

interestingly there are quite a few 90's albums with enormous sales numbers not suggested in this thread (assuming jagged little pill was mentioned ironically)

Axl Rose blindsides the Dr with an RKO outta nowhere...
