You and I are going to get along just fine. Although The Shape Of Punk To Come, as virtually flawless as it may be, came out in 1998.

Blast! The whole point of looking up the album covers was so I could double-check all of the dates of release in my iTunes library, but looks like I failed. Thanks for pointing that out.

1990: Honestly, I couldn't find one. If I were willing to use Greatest Hits albums, I would've used The Best of Van Morrison, because it's not only great, but it was one of the first three CDs I ever owned, so it's got a special place in my heart. Since I'm not, the de facto winner has to be Please, Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em. 'Cause, y'know.
1991: At this point I'm ashamed of myself for how few of these albums I've listened to the whole way through.
Winner: The Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Kryptonite, because my dad's played it on road trips since I was a kid.
Runners-up: c'mon. Pearl Jam and Nirvana.
1992: Finally, an easy one!
Winner: Rage Against the Machine- Rage Against the Machine. Fucking epic.
no runner-up.

no runner-up.
1994: Winner: Dave Matthews Band- Under the Table and Dreaming
Runners-up: Green Day- Dookie, Weezer- The Blue Album
1995: Winner: Michael Jackson- HIStory, but I'm not using compilation/Greatest Hits albums, so Oasis- (What's the Story) Morning Glory? instead.
runner-up: Smashing Pumpkins- Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
1996: Winner: Sublime- Sublime. The essence of the mid-90s in my eyes.
runner-up: Dave Matthews Band- Crash
1997: Little did I realize, '97 was a fantastic year for music.
Winner: Third Eye Blind- Third Eye Blind. Definitely in my top 5 albums all time, with a pretty strong case for #1.
runners-up: Daft Punk- Homework, The Prodigy- The Fat of the Land, Foo Fighters- The Colour and the Shape
1998: Almost as great as '97 was, but not quite. Still, the late '90s were fucking excellent where music was concerned.
Winner: Goo Goo Dolls- Dizzy Up the Girl
