saw imperial teen in your list … quite funny that one member in the band was the keyboarder in faith no more :)

for me absolut fav album of the 90ties hast to be

“Sneaker pimps - Becoming X” , cause Kelli Dayton (alias Kelli Ali) makes the music really magical …

then perhaps troulegum of course … opened eyes for people that punk, metal and alternative music can go hand in hand and sounds great …

nirvana “nevermind” for mark the begin of sold out “alternative music”

metallica “black album” for taking the metal into comercialization

of course all time fav …

PRIMUS with “tales from the bunchbowl” …
hell of bassplayer les is :)

Superunknown, I don’t know about the NIN choice… personally, I think Pretty Hate Machine is the best NIN album, followed in the order they were released.

yeah, but I wasn’t sure if “Pretty Hate Machine” wasn’t released in the late 80’s. Anyway it’s hard to tell which is really the best NIN album. I like “The Fragile” just as much as “PHM” and “TDS”.

Pretty Hate Machine came out in 1989.

It depends on the mood your in doesn’t it, sometimes I think The Fragile is the best and at other times I couldn’t be bothered with it and I just feel like throwing on ‘TDS’. The drumming on that album is so heavy.

How do you people manage to choose? When faced with such a question, my mind goes blank. I’ve listened to many great albums over the years and apart from the most recent I have a real problem remembering what they were until someone else mentions them.

One of my personal faves - Suicidal Tendancies “Lights, Camera, Revolution” which I think was released in the ’90s.

You’re right, it just made into the 90s. It’s from 1990.

But like you I couldn’t manage to choose just a bunch of favoutites from all the albums I have from the 90s. Especially, as it depends on the mood you’re in. So in an all time fave list Massive Attack should be included, but right now I wouldn’t think of listing them as I’m not depressed enough. :)
But, anyway, it’s interesting to see all the different musical tastes T? fans have. There are metal heads, indie kids, and even Hip Hop is mentioned (What I said about Massive Attack applies here even stronger: Cypress Hill, House Of Pain, The Fugees, The Goats all should be mentioned, but not now…)

‘Bout time someone mentioned the boys from Bradford, although it’s a toss up between Regular Urban Survivors and How To Win Friends and Influence People as to which one is the best (IMHO :))

True but not suprising really. I’ve come to the conclusion that those of us who are even vaguely interested in “alternative” music (by that I mean stuff that generally doesn’t make it into the popular charts) generally have much broader tastes than those who listen exclusively to the corporate backed pop charts. They also tend to be a lot more open minded about other stuff too.

It’s a classic, no doubt about it, but, correct me if I’m wrong, it’s from 1988.

I can’t be bothered writing out such a long list of albums I liked from the 90s, but my favourite album ever, which seems to be bizarrely missing from your list, was released in 1995 - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins.

Black Sunday by Cypress Hill

there’s just five and I could add loads more but the ones I’ve chosen were wildly praised on release and somewhat forgotten since, much like T? stuff

I know we all have varied music tastes but there is absolutely no excuse for anyone to own these cd’s, actually there is no excuse for these cd’s to be in existence!! Sorry if I offended your list

I thought the topic was best albums of the 90s? That appears to be all of them, no?

I’m going to vote for:

Radiohead - The Bends/Okay Computer
Nirvana - Nevermind
Anything and everything by T?
Scarce - Deadsexy
Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Blur - Blur

Kinda struggle after that - most my 90s discs are shut away in a box somewhere.

Little Boots definitely in the top 3 of tis year, and she’s not fat!
