2. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In (1994)
3. Pink Floyd - The Division Bell (1994, holy shit)
4. blink-182 - Enema of the State (1999)
5. Blur - Parklife (1994)
What the fuck is with me and '94?

Love you!
Top five? Nah, fuck that. but here's a few I like that haven't been mentioned so far:
- Massive Attack: Blue Lines. (I, too, love Maxinquaye, but it falls away in the last few tracks. Blue Lines is solid all the way through.)
- Will Oldham: Lost Blues and Other Songs (technically a compilation, so if I have to choose an actual "album" album I'll go with Viva Last Blues.)
- Cat Power: Moon Pix.
- The Tea Party: Splendor Solis (sure, it's wanky as all hell, but god-damn it's awesome. Sadly it was all down hill after that.)
Also, Nevermind. Shut up, kids, you weren't there.
Also also, Last Splash would be a killer album . . . if it wasn't for all the filler.
Doubtless I'll think of a gazillion more when it's not 8:30 in the morning.

Tommy: while In Utero is, quantitatively, a better album than Nevermind, the latter has the edge for me (and, I suspect, a lot of others) because of what it meant personally. Fun fact: I only actually own one Nirvana album, and it's In Utero. (When I was a young 'un in the 1990s I listened to my brother's copy of Nevermind.)
Dark Flame: oops! That's what happens when you skim a thread after being woken early by an unexpected council hard rubbish collection. Still, so good it's worth mentioning twice, eh?

Ride - Nowhere (1990)
I don't want to knock your opinion, I'm just curious what your explanation is for including this but not Loveless.
I'd also be interested in hearing how much of this music people here were listening to when it came out and how much is retrospective. I'm almost certain I wasn't listening to any of the stuff I listed in the 90's. Then again I wasn't really into music much back then. I'm especially curious if you listed one of the Weezer albums since they have a bit of a reputation for inducing nostalgia.
Praeserpium Machinarum- Lauryn Hill is such a good call, I'd completely forgot about that album (and there was one I actually remember listening to way back when).

Heh, Tricky's Feed Me is one of my favourite album closers ever. :)
I think Blue Lines and Maxinquaye are actually really different albums, even if the former has Tricky on it. 'Blue Lines' is sparse as fuck and really consistent, while the latter is kinda ramshackle and insane with some crap bits but IMO higher peaks.
Strange how sharply the quality of Tricky's solo material fell off. David Toop had it right, he said the key to 'Maxinquaye''s radness is how close it is to being generic - the more Tricky has tried to be difficult the less interesting he has become.

All the other stuff I listen to that hails from the 90's, I've just gotten into in the last 4 or 5 years, so I can't really count them...these 5 cd's and the bands that made them pretty much got me into all of the stuff that I love now...so, I don't necessarily say they're the BEST albums from the 90's, but they definately have a place in my heart, right?

Let's see, I was born in 88, so by the time the 90s ended I was 12.
Fugazi - Red Medicine - Not at all, i wasn't aware of Fugazi's existance until Argument
Neutral Milk Hotel - Ij I listened to this a fair bit due to my dad liking it. He likes On Avery Island best though.
Radiohead - OK Computer - this and the Bends were staples of my house's stereo during the late 90s.
Belle and Sebastian - If You Are Feeling Sinister - I never listened to Belle
and Sebastian until 3 years ago
Yo La Tengo -I Can Hear The Heart Beating as One - I listened to a large amount of Yo La Tengo, again, because of my dad

You know, I totally understand what you're saying, but all of this implying we can establish some objective assessment that is somehow distinct from how you receive an album is kinda... odd.
If we decide something is the best album, but it's not something we like listening to, then what are we really saying? What practical value is there in "goodness" if it's independent of enjoyment?
Bla bla...

- The Sundays: Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. Personally I always thought this was '89, but my copy gives it as 1990. That might just be the Australian release, though. (The outside of the C.D. cover tries to pass it off as being released in 1996. I see through your lies, Parlophone!)

I wasn't sure whether I should put Botch or June of 44 there, but in the end, Botch is what I listen to more right now, so they won. Honorary mentions could go to a ton of bands, among them Fugazi, Coalesce, Acme, At the Drive-In, Meshuggah (Chaosphere!) and probably even more bands that I forgot.

I remember seeing this on the wall of a music store (Brashes for the Aussies out there) when it first came out (I was about 12-13 I think) and being obsessed with owning it even though I had no idea who R.E.M. were. I ended up buying the album later on and it is definately my favourite R.E.M. album.

Well to be fair, I was only teasing and thought it was obvious...although I'm not sure how I misused "boggled".
I thought Dude Ranch was a far better album as far as Blink goes, though I'm not really a fan of the band to begin with (I freely admit to liking "Dammit" though). If we must have a "silly offensive" punk album, I'd probably go with Guttermouth's Album Formerly Known as Full Length which is fantastically dumb, but not on my top 5 list. As for just pop-punk, it has been mentioned previously, but Jawbreaker's 24 Hour Revenge Therapy is grand, and if you have not heard it, I'd suggest listening to it immediately - "Jinx Removing" is one of the most beautiful punk songs ever.
And my own taste in music is pretty suspect (my unabashed love for Blatz, for instance), yet i'm not sure how disliking one album makes anyone an elitist.

A lot of people prefer Dude Ranch. But both Tom and Mark have difficulty singing in tune as it is, and I find Dude Ranch borderline unlistenable in places because they sing so badly. Enema is kind of the big-budget update to Dude Ranch. I just prefer it because of the production sheen, and that's not some MTV generation shit either, because I like plenty of albums with little to no production - such as my own ;-) - I just think it suits this album. As for being silly-offensive; it is in parts, but that's not why I like it. I like it because of wistful, euphoric parts of it rather than, say, the title. 'Going Away To College' is my favourite song there, for example.
You were a new poster, and as such I knew nothing about you, nor did I know that you were the kind to be ironically elitist as a lot of people on here are. But there have been people who have joined this forum assuming we're all indie assholes - and there's plenty of them on here - and acted in the way you did seriously. I take a lot of crap for the music I listen to from just about everyone because I listen to almost anything once, so I tend to get defensive about it.
So, in short, I apologise for calling you an asshole.

Praeserpium Machinarum- Lauryn Hill is such a good call, I'd completely forgot about that album (and there was one I actually remember listening to way back when).
It was pretty much the first album I bought and I loved it to bits. It wasn't my gateway album though because at the same time I was raving about Aqua. Still I think I struck gold at an tender age of 11.
A little addition to my list:
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes(1992)
She will most likely never top it in terms of emotional power and honesty.
Jim O'Rourke - I'm Happy and I'm Singing and a 1,2,3,4(recorded in 1997-98 but released later on)
Simply the best electronica album I have ever heard. In one word: amazing.

Eno is a fantastic ambient songwriter, and his contributions to records from David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, John Cale and U2, among others, are totally invaluable. Plus, I have a vinyl "Peter And The Wolf" album in which a mysterious "Eno" is credited as playing the synthesizer, along with Manfred Mann's guitar and Peter Gabriel's drums! Hooray for Eno!
On the Eno sub-tangent I was thinking of getting Here Come the Warm Jets. Has anyone heard it? I'm interested because it has been described as a bridge between Roxy music and his later work.

Sorry, I guess I musta had a bit of Poison in my ear. Sometimes I'm like a Def Leppard! Ha ha! Anyways, I think maybe what you're saying Warrants another explanation? I mean, I could be wrong, but I think the 80's had a Motley Crue of pretty shitty mainstream rock bands!

Reading this thread has really reminded me what a totally shit time for music the nineties actually was. I mean, it has the best neo-folk albums and Skyclad released almost all their good albums, but wider trends-wise, shit shit shit shit death of rock shit shit shit. And this decade is worse.The death of rock would be like a wet dream for me, but it's not coming any time soon. I had a look through these lists to try to catch albums not by rock bands and didn't come up with many.
Here are the currently most popular, out of 195 albums chosen, FWIW:
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (7 picks)
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (5 picks)
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (5 picks)
Fugazi - Red Medicine (4 picks)
Radiohead - OK Computer (4 picks)
Slint - Spiderland (4 picks)
Beck - Odelay (3 picks)
Belle and Sebastian- If You're Feeling Sinister (3 picks)
Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime (3 picks)
Pavement - Slanted And Enchanted (3 picks)
Weezer - Pinkerton (3 picks)
To my mind, these are all acts that have been accepted into the rock canon. Maybe you have a more narrow definition of rock than I do - I use it thinking about traditions and context more than sound.

No, you see, I'm talking about good rock. You know, the stuff that ROCKS. Because we call it ROCK music and I always have this thing were I expect it to ROCK because, you see, I like rock.
@ Johnny C: I'm not just talking about the eighties. Anyway, I personally find each of those bands more enjoyable to listen to than, say, Nirvana or Oasis, plus they were contemporaries to bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Dio and Metallica, back when they were all at the heights of their powers: They either all fired key members or went completely shit in some other way when the nineties approached, and have only recently, if ever, recovered. The other general shit in the mainstream was great as well: a decade when Siouxsie and the Banshees were a household name! The pop music was infinitely better, before the complete victory of off-the-shelf dance beats. New genres and styles were popping up left and right, most of my favourite bands were formed: it was a great decade in almost every way. Fun, interesting, and, most importantly, completely and absolutely devoid of this fucking irony shit. Hell, even the novelty acts were stuff like Ian Dury and John Otway, rather than the Cheeky Girls or Las Ketchup.
The seventies were also pretty bitching, and the sixties, not bad. The nineties are a load of post-modernist shite almost obscuring a few great bits and pieces of music that had nothing to do with general developments in the decade at all. Everything went shit or got commercialised, there was grunge, nu metal, gangsta rap, brit pop, and don't even get me started on what happened to punk...it was a fucking awful decade. Fucking awful.

The most politically objectionable World Serpent affiliate is Boyd Rice, and he's not a nazi, he's one of your campaign-for-human-extinction satanist/misanthropes. The easiest way by far to see that none of the original neo-folk bands have any real nazi sympathies is to compare it to actual nazi music. Do you reckon Jhonny Balance or Genesis P Orridge or all those other people would have been so in with all of them if they'd been a bed of nazis, or vice versa? Half of them are gay for fucks sake! I mean for fucks sake, is this a nazi song:
So, this is your life
This is your world
In a lullaby to a ghetto
Where you murder boys and girls
Ashes of a butterfly
On a blood-soaked wand
Painted, all decorated
Absent and missing
Like secret dreams
And, broken promises
Like all our dead
And thoroughbred
Let the absence of life begin
To form an ash
And diamond lake
Revisionist, rust-torn and red
Black sun baked
Frank eyes never lie
They weep and shine
With that emptiness
Feral inside them
That mirrors can't define
Don't look to God
He's turned away
Savaged by the smell
Of the first of seven days
So, this is your life
This is your world
In a lullaby to a ghetto
Where you murder boys and girls
No, it's not. The Nazis are a symbol, a metaphor a dark shadow for these people. I can't imagine anyone with half a brain coming on to nazism through listening to the lyrics of my favourite neo-folk bands. All this nazi crap arises from fucking stupid anti-nazi campaigners who can't be arsed to do research and echo the false assumptions of other fucking stupid anti-nazi campaigners, and I'm quite frankly sick of it. Especially as, because of it, there actually ARE now nazi neo-folk bands.

But to pick up on Nuisance's posts, it is certainly eye-catching if pretty predictable how rooted in 90's (indie) rock many of us are.
By comparison the non-rock albums are relatively few, as Nuisance said, and when they are occur it seems mostly that the person behind the list is heavily into a particular scene.
All in all it makes sense. I don't think it is a problem really but personally I have branched out somewhat since being enarmoured by "alternative" music.
Though it is a bit difficult to find albums completely free of rock influence, take the Jim O'Rourke album I mentioned. It doesn't have anything to do with rock superficially but it is made by a noted guitarist, same with a lot of minimalism - Fennesz, Growing, Geoff Mullen and so on.
It is just so all-compassing that I think it is inevitable to dominate these kinds of lists, even with the upheaval of the dance scene in the 90's.

And of course there were manufactured and commercialised bands before the 90's, but the level of penetration was just phenomenal. Commercialisation started trying to take over almost every facet of music in the nineties. It pretty much killed punk, I can't think of one punk album I like from the 90's, except maybe some Driller Killer shit.

As a big fan of Jawbreaker, Leatherface, and other 90's punk bands, I am going to have to disagree with this so hard.
Post by: Brian Majestic on 01 Oct 2006, 23:13
Jawbreaker - 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
Mmm...pop-punk...Blake and crew's finest, in my opinion. Top punk release of the 90s,
Three Blue Teardrops - One Part Fist
Neo-Rockabilly? Cow-punk? Just plain awesome? All three, thanks, and produced by Alan Wilson (Sharks), to boot!
Los Straitjackets - Viva!
The instrumental squad's second, and still the best (though 'Sing Along With' comes close) .Fourteen classics going from surf to spy to every other instrumental genre.
The Meteors - Meteors Vs The World
I can't help it. I'm a huge psychobilly fan, and the Meteors are still the best band in it, twenty five years later. This one's a two-LP collection that came out in 1999 featuring 17 new tracks, 8 or so live tracks, and a handful of remakes of stuff from their early 80s stuff.
The 5.6.7.8s - Either Can't Help It or Bomb the Twist (i cant pick, sorry...)
I've always loved garage. I've always loved all-female bands. This takes the best of both and creates fuzzed-out yumminess. Yes, yes, "Woo-Hoo" is on Bomb the Twist, but there's lots of better songs they wrote, too.
Other good stuff - Elysian Fields - Bleed Your Cedar (Steve Albini produced it!), Radiohead - The Bends, Trashwomen - Spend the Night With..., Tori Amos - Under the Pink, Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggy Style, pretty much everything Guitar Wolf released in the 90s, and a handful of other releases

Exactly. You can't trash every punk band from the 90s just because of Green Day, Offspring and Rancid (and then blink182). If anything it made the scene better. Because of all the interest generated other bands could get a little bigger. Of course a whole bunch of shitty MTV bands came out too but thats gonna happen with any style of music getting really popular really quickly. All my favourite punk bands put out the majority of their records in the 90s.
I'd love to know why you think the 90s sucked so bad for punk.
Post by: AlexAttack on 02 Oct 2006, 08:52
i don't think kharbevnor would agree with you on what defines a punk band for one.
in fact, i don't think many people agree.
in fact, even i'm struggling. would a band like jawbox or hoover be considered punk? i honestly don't know.
can you name some examples?
Ramones, Screeching Weasel, The Queers, Teenage Bottlerocket, MTX, Riverdales, Lillingtons, Groovie Ghoulies, Jawbreaker, Teen Idols, Fifteen, Born Against, Propagandhi, Descendents, ALL, Angry Samoans, Minor Threat, Face to Face, Social Distortion......
These are a few of my favourite bands. I would call them all punk bands. I've never heard of Jawbox or Hoover so I can't really comment dude.
Anyway unfortunately on the internet you can come off sounding like a jerk by accident sometimes and that was totally not what I intended.
And its true that alot of people won't agree on what is or isn't punk haha.
Post by: KharBevNor on 02 Oct 2006, 09:22
I'd love to know why you think the 90s sucked so bad for punk.
Mainly a distinct scarcity of good new material by bands such as New Model Army, The Anti-Nowhere League, The UK Subs, The Dead Kennedys, The Misfits, Crass, The Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, The Ramones, MDC, The Damned, 999, Cock Sparrer*, Black Flag, X-Ray Spex, Bad Brains, The Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Adverts, GBH, Crisis etc. with what albums any of these bands still existing did release being few in number compared to other decades and/or not their best work. Also, almost no good punk bands I can think of sprung into existence in the nineties. Grasping at straws, I might say Amen and Anti-Flag, and neither of them are up to the standards of most of the other bands I listed. It's not a completely wasted decade of course, but compared to the 80's or 70's, it's nothing. It's also of course the decade of really, really, really shit pop-punk.
*Okay, Two Monkeys was actually really good, but I'm on a roll here.

[...]

It is just so all-compassing that I think it is inevitable to dominate these kinds of lists, even with the upheaval of the dance scene in the 90's.
This is the QC forums. I think that does bias things roughly towards Jeph's interests, as they come through in the comic. I have friends who have encyclopaedic knowledge of, I dunno, reggae, techno or hip-hop, but who wouldn't know any of the bands that are coming out on top here.
I reckon one of the key things about how both dance and hip-hop is generally consumed is it's not album-oriented music. It's about 12"s, remixes of other people, DJ mixes, nights out (where you don't know whose music you were listening to, just which DJ was playing it) etc. There are some albums that are considered classics, of course, but I think moreso than with rock people don't think of the album itself as a work, just a bunch of tracks. If asked about the great moments of Detroit techno or something most people would talk about singles.
About minimalists, there are plenty who come from a background in classical or dance music, or even visual arts - Taylor Deupree, Steve Roden, Akira Rabelais, William Basinski, Carsten Nikolai (Alva Noto) and basically everyone he's released on his label, Pan Sonic, etc. - although I guess most musos are not the ones to be blinkered about what they listen to or take influence from. Usually it's the fans who get territorial...

I'd been thinking about Oval since I posted my list. If I was doing a list of most important, most significant, most innovative or something I'd definitely put something by them on there. Probably 'Systemisch' though.
Yeah Systemich is good but Do While is one of my favorite ambient/do homework/drone out songs so I gotta reprezent. I would have but Ovalcommers cause I think thats one of their best but that was released to late to be relevant. Though I haven't heard their whole library I can't really think of anything that isn't completely rad.

So, in that way you could say that it is reminiscent of back before album-rock, with Shangri-las and whatnot.
The anachcronistic vehicle of music in the future if you are to believe that pitchfork guy.
Personally I like the album which makes sense if you look at my cd collection.
It is mostly rock or rock-related with a patch of noise/ambient. The kind of albums where the songs usually don't work out of context.
Maybe we should make a top 5 singles in the 90's thread to be fair to hiphop and dance et al.

"In The Aeroplane Over The Sea"-Neutral Milk Hotel
- I know that these guys are getting really huge lately, and that it is like the new "Indie" thing to be all into them, but i've been digging on these guys since about 1999 (when i was in middle school) and i found them completely of my own volition, so i pride myself on liking them without a hype-driven opinion
- I feel like even typing this is going to send me to hipster kid hell, but i love these guys! they write music the way they want to hear it, and it's glorious, and it remains stalwart through nearly 20 years or so
- Like i said, burning in hipster hell for these.? But c'mon this is like a perfect cd, not a single bad track
- I'm a noob here and i'm just asking to get flamed to death, but again, another glorious album
- maybe i can redeem myself with this one, but this album is nothing short of stunning and glorious
- Best fucking band ever! these guys are amazing, and this is the best album they ever put out!

Nope. I'm in halls of residence, I don't have ready access to my music collection in a handy format.
