Yes - Keys to Ascension 2
Fleetwood Mac - The Dance
Paul McCartney - Flaming Pie
John Fogerty - Blue Moon Swamp

 

Not a lot going on for me that year, but there are a couple of gems:

1. Bruce Dickinson - Accident of Birth (almost flawless)
2. In Flames - Whoracle (so bloody good)
3. Deftones - Around the Fur (My favourite of theirs back then, and still almost their best one)
4. Radiohead - Ok Computer (though I'm sick of the band by now)
5. Metallica - Reload (half the album is excellent)
6. Prodigy - Fat of the Land (though purely for nostalgia's sake)

Bob Dylan - Time Out of Mind should probably have been on that list, but during the years I was obsessed with him, I never properly listened to this album somehow, and by now I'm into other things, so...too late!

I can't believe this is the only year during the 90's Spitz didn't release an album or an EP! Otherwise I'm sure they would've been on the list.
