Best album of the '90s?

So many great albums. My top 100:

 

Radiohead -- OK Computer
Guided By Voices -- Under the Bushes Under the Stars
Pavement -- Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
Teenage Fanclub -- Songs from Northern Britain
Flaming Lips -- The Soft Bulletin

 

Thanks, I just heard it on Spotify.
IMHO, it sounds a little dated.
YMMV.

 

Two from 90':

Paul Simon - The Rhythm of the Saints
Dwight Yoakam - If There Was A Way

 

Off the top of my head, I know I've missed a bunch.

Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Janes Addiction - Ritual de lo habitual
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Rage against the Machine S/T

 

Portishead - Dummy
Bjork - Debut
Tricky - Maxinquaye
DJ Shadow - Entroducing....
The Verve - Urban Hymns
Beth Orton - Central Reservation
Massive Attack - Protection
Hooverphonic - A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular
Emiliana Torrini - Love in the Time of Science

 

I can't believe I forgot that one too!

 

maybe a dozen records on Drag City records, eight Matador releases, four-five albums on Merge records, several notable Thrill Jockey affairs. a few minor albums on Touch and Go/Quarterstick records. artists on European labels like Touch and Mego produced some really far out electronic/improvised stuff. a couple notable (landmark) albums released on Warp Records. Jim O'Rourke did great things (reissues, mostly) with his Moikai label. Hard to choose. AiC Dirt is, objectively (probably), the best one of all. Danzig 4? Teenager of the Year? Trompe le Monde? Stoned and Dethroned? So Tonight that I Might See? sheeeeeeit. having a hard time choosing the absolute best

 

it's gotta be a tie between Mike Watt's Ball-Hog or Tugboat? or Contemplating the Engine Room.

 

Jeff Buckley - Grace

 

Nevermind

... though In Utero and Smashing Pumkins Siamese Dream are close (obviously IMHO).

 

Jeff Buckley - Grace
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Radiohead - Ok Computer
Blur - 13

 

Finally, someone I agree with.

 

So many good albums, very fortunate to have grown up in the 90's - it's second only to the 60's for music. Some of my favourites...

UK albums:
Supergrass - I Should Coco
Pulp - Different Class
Radiohead - The Bends
Depeche Mode - Violator

US albums:
Pearl Jam - Vitalogy
Nirvana - In Utero
Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray
Weezer - Pinkerton
R.E.M - Automatic For The People

 

Achtung Baby

 

OK I'll bite, what is this? Looks like a cover The Decemberists would use.

 

Tough to pin down a "best", since there are thousands of releases from the 90s that I've never heard.

Personal favorite might be:

The Original Sins - Move

I was playing this pretty much all last week in my car. It still gets me, 25 years after its release.

 

Nirvana - Nevermind, Unplugged in New York
Steve Earle - Train A' Comin'
Dwight Yoakam - This Time, If There Was A Way
Oasis - Definitely Maybe, (What's the Story) Morning Glory
Radiohead - OK Computer
Weezer - Blue Album

 

I'll throw some albums out there:

Gene - Olympian
Moose - Honey Bee
Suede - Dog Man Star
Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth
James - Laid

 

Laika had two great records in the 90s, I could pick either as my favorite, Silver Apples of the Moon or Sounds of the Satellites. Their first single was a great introduction, 44 Robbers/Coming Down Glass, it was really a double A-side for me, with fun and inventive music that felt completely new to me at the time, actually still sounds kinda new to me ...

 

Neutral Milk Hotel

 

Good to see It's A Shame About Ray get praise. I like this also:
