So, someone did a "Favourite Albums Of 1993" thread within the last couple weeks so I'm skipping that and going on to 1994. Just post your favorite albums that were released between Jan 1 and Dec 31 1994. As many or as few as you want. Have fun! My favorite albums from 1994 in alphabetical order by artist: Dave Alvin - King Of California Ass Ponys - Electric Rock Music Beastie Boys - Ill Communication Blues Traveler - Four The Bottle Rockets - The Brooklyn Side Jeff Buckley - Grace Johnny Cash - American Recordings The Cranberries - No Need To Argue Green Day - Dookie Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand Hole - Live Through This Indigo Girls - Swamp Ophelia The Jesus And Mary Chain - Stoned And Dethroned Meat Puppets - Too High To Die Oasis - Definitely Maybe Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain Pearl Jam - Vitalogy Tom Petty - Wildflowers Liz Phair - Whip-Smart R.E.M. - Monster Todd Snider - Songs For The Daily Planet Stone Temple Pilots - Purple Richard Thompson - Mirror Blue TLC - CrazySexyCool Weezer - Weezer (Blue Album) Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Sleeps With Angels
Wildflowers, by a mile. Monster and Sleeps with Angels haven’t aged well in my collection. Definitely Maybe definitely hasn’t as well.
Philip Glass "Music with Changing Parts". Amazing work, which changed some of my music interests. From rock it is Vitalogy and Dookie.
Suede - dogmanstar Blur - Parklife Portishead - Dummy Pantera - Far beyond driven Soundgarden - Super unknown Jeff Buckley - Grace Morrissey - Vauxhall & I Oasis - Definitely maybe Loads more I can't think of

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume 2 Autechre - Amber It was the year I really got into techno. Monumental albums.
Clear winner is Weezer ... running away like Secretariat. I like R.E.M. Monster as well, and Toad’s Dulcinea a lot. Live - Throwing Copper is really good, and the Dave Matthews one is classic ...
