CaptainClae:
First post!
1992 = Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
I don't listen to them that much anymore, but they dominated my listening 3-4 years ago, and this album has all the best songs on it.
Runners up = Alice in Chains - Dirt, Kyuss - Blues For the Red Sun
1993 = Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
This year was a hard one for me. Siamese dream because it's got Geek USA on it.
Runners up = Radiohead - Pablo Honey
1994 = Nas - Illmatic
Good year for Hip Hop! Hard to pick between Nas and Warren G, but I went for Nas cause I listen to more of him at the moment. Illmatic is kinda iconic.
Runners Up = Warren G - Regulate...G Funk Era, Kyuss - Welcome To Sky Valley
1995 = Kyuss - ...And the Circus Leaves Town
My favourite Kyuss album. I don't really listen to much music pre 1999 though, and most of what I do listen to which is pre 1999 is also pre 1980 so yeah.
Runners up = Radiohead - The Bends, Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
1996 = Kid Koala - Scratchcratchratchatch
Pretty much THE best instrumental Hip Hop album ever.

1997 = Radiohead - OK Computer
For lack of anything better to choose

Collab. between one of my favourite Emcees, one of my favourite turntablists, and one of my favourite producers. And its about the FUTURE, man.
