So " MTV Unplugged in New York " Nirvana is ok ? :thinking:

 

Yep

it was counted for the 80s?... weird

 

yeah on my itunes, that sigur ros album is set for 1999, and same w/ wiki... I say we leave it as a 90s album

 

Techianlly it was a 70s album, but got released mid december of 1979.

 

:wacky:

 

:dance:

 

 

Can I now use it for 90' ? :wideeyed:

 

Yep

I have over 20 artists that I want to include. :blank:

 

 

:disappointed:

1. Achtung Baby / U2 - Never has a band pulled a complete 180 after releasing one of the greatest albums of all time. Easily one of the best U2 has ever offered, and easily the best of the 90s.

 

2. Ten / Pearl Jam - Nirvana gets all the credit and mainstream success of the big three Seattle bands. Maybe Kurt would have preferred to have the modest success of Eddie. An album with classic rock influences and the grunge angst.

 

3. In Utero / Nirvana - May not be as radio friendly as Nevermind, but thats what make's it better. Nirvana sought to make the album they wanted, no over dubs, no tricks to make it radio-friendly. Lyrically is on par with Nevermind, I feel its the most honest Nirvana album.

 

4. (What's the Story)Morning Glory? / Oasis - On first listen I hated the album. Soon enough I saw the brilliance hidden inside. Oasis up until the end were some of the beat at what they did. Or Noel is, this album is any teenagers soundtrack.

 

5. Automatic for the People / R.E.M. - An album that ended up nearly the opposite of what was intended, but is 100% honest. Stripe shows his brilliance on this album.

 

6. The Downward Spiral / Nine Inch Nails - Reznor's concept album about the self-destruction of a man. Capped off with the now famous Cash song Hurt with the ultimate end. What makes Spiral so good is its mix of multiple genres. Trent didn't want a full on metal album and incorporated many different instruments to make it genius.

 

7. Me Against The World / 2Pac - The Best, and the favourite by most, including him. A blues inspired album, with strong themes. Against the world is the strongest by Tupac. For all those who hate rap, respect it as a huge part of the 90s.

 

8. Temple of the Dog / Temple of the Dog - A grunge supergroup, all though it wasnt known at the time. With all current members of Pearl Jam (Drummer Matt Cameron joined in the mid 2000s) and two part Soundgarden. A tribute to a lost friend, this one off album band provided some great hooks and Cornell and Vedders duet on Robin Hood inspired track "Hunger Strike" still gets airplay today.

 

9. Rage Against the Machine / Rage Against the Machine - A metal rock group with a rap inspired front man. Rage took the best of both worlds and used it to deliver a heavy message to the masses. Perhaps one of the most out spoken bands of the 90s (not the way Liam was) they used their debut to send their views about police, racism and corruption.

 

10. Yourself or Someone Like You / Matchbox 20 - I would be hard pressed to name two musicians that love music and life as much as Rob Thomas and Paul Docette. The breakthrough success for one of the most successful American bands. Features 4 top singles, Thomas provides stellar vocals and lyrics ove simple overdriven guitar riffs that get the listener hooked.

 

11. Pop / U2 - An album that was rushed to be finished because of sloppy management. Yet U2 still managed to release an amazing album. The rough edge's due to lack of production give it a new type of feel. Pop is U2's effort to stay relevant in the 90s drowned out by what is now Post-Grunge. Pop was by no means a failure, later mixes prove the album just needed a bit more time.

 

12. Superunknown / Soundgarden - The last of the Seattle 3, Cornell provides strong lyrics, for perhaps the least grunge of the three. They provide a great mood. Cameron provides one of the best drum lines.

 

13. In My Lifetime, Vol. 1/ Jay-Z - The follow up to Reasonable Doubt Jay-Z starts on his quest to take over the world. Jay-Z provides strong flow and some of the best beats at the time. The best he dropped until The Blueprint oddly enough, he was already talking about retiring at this point.

 

14. The Chronic / Dr. Dre - The Kanye West of the 90s. By that I mean, a predominate producer decides to rap. Dr. Dre is still the best rap producer out there. Known as a perfectionist, and if you look at the gap between his albums you'll see it. This album is solid from start to finish.

 

15. MTV Unplugged in New York / Nirvana - An album of lesser known songs and covers the best of which is the Bowie classic "The Man Who Sold the World" is the last album released by the trio. The album soon became the anthem for his death. A moody, but strong album. The best in the unplugged series.

 

16. The Color and shape / Foo Fighters - The strongest effort of the Foo Fighters since their inception. This was the last album where Grohl did all vocals, guitar and drumming. A straight up rock album, with staples today. "My Hero" a song about ever day hero's, and "Everlong" a break up song that has gained a cult following since 2007s "Skin and Bones".

 

17. Blood Sugar Sex Magik / Red Hot Chili Peppers - A funky album that produced some mega hits. As well as a deeper meaning. Rubin produces a great album. One I dont like, but respect.

 

18. Metallica / Metallica - A great metal album, one of the best by the best. Musically one of the best, and vocals are the cherry on top. This album is Metallica meets the radio.

 

19. Dirt / Alice in Chains - Alice in Chains never met the mainstream success as the Seattle 3. Yet Dirt is probably their best album. "Would?" saves the best for last.

 

20. Maybe You've All Been Brainwashed Too / New Radicals - Many people people regard them as a one hit wonder. I stand pat that if Gregg hadn't quit, New Radicals would be up there with Coldplay and Matchbox 20 right now. "You Get What You Give" is easily a top 20 song of the decade.

 

I went with what I believed the best. I dont have much to say for some albums but I'd feel weird not saying some about them. I know most of mine wont make it to the end. I love this list, and believe it to be one of the best. Shame the top will be riddled with anything Radiohead released when OK Computer was their only album that beats out a lot of the other stuff from the 90s.
