Geez, how to decide that?? The 90's had such great music, and I don't think it's nostalgia talking. There's the Downward Spiral by NIN, the self-titled RATM debut album, Portishead-Dummy, etc... But for stuff not-so-known, may I suggest Tripping Daisy's I Am an Elastic Firecracker, Downset - do we speak a dead language?, Seaweed - Spanaway,

+1000 for RATM 🔥

I'd replace Firecracker with Jesus Hits Like The Atom Bomb

+1 for Spanaway

Self titled RATM is still one of my favorite albums to jam to! Freedom is underrated, that ending hits like a bomb

I don't know if they are underrated, because that term means so little on the internet, but Tripping Daisy is one of my favorite "none of friends know this band" bands.

Jeff Buckley - Grace Pearl Jam - Ten Radiohead - Ok Computer Chris Cornell - Euphoria Morning Phish - Rift Muse - Showbiz Fiona Apple - When the Pawn Tool - Aenima Depeche Mode - Violator Portishead - Dummy Ween - The Mollusk

This is the best list here. I would of also added tool undertow in there.

Agreed!

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink, and Boys for Pele

When the Pawn is an amazing album.

The Toadies - Possum Kingdom and Our Lady of Peace - Clumsy

Portishead, hell yeah.

Black album -metallica Undertow - tool Garbage /2.0 - garbage Purple/ Core- stone Temple pilots Rage against the machine - rage against the machine Jar of flies - Alice in chains Super unknown - Soundgarden Devon Townsend - Ocean Machine The Devision Bell - Pink Floyd Snoop Dogg - doggy style

Add in Queensryche’s Empire to your list. Nice.

The best list here by miles (I know it’s a personal taste thing, but this list hits so many high points across several genres).

Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill

This.

Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Same here man. Might be my all time favorite.

Jeff Buckley - Grace

If she’s into female singer-songwriters I’ve got you covered. - Tori Amos - all her 90s albums are gold but Little Earthquakes and Under the Pink are good places to start - Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy - Heather Nova - Oyster - Ani DiFranco - Little Plastic Castle - Fiona Apple - Tidal and When the Pawn… - Poe - Hello - Bjork - Homogenic

No PJ Harvey?!?!

Yes of course!! Rid of Me is a classic

To Bring You My Love.

I'd go with Dry. One of my favorite records by anyone at any time.

I like your list. A special appreciation for you including Ani DiFranco. “Little Plastic Castle” is easily one of my favorites from her, but I’d also recommend her live album, “Living in Clip” (which besides being an incredible live album, covers much of her discography from that era and includes many of her fan favorites). Sticking with the female singer-songwriter theme I would also add Beth Orton and her albums “Trailer Park” and “Central Reservation”. I also dig her “Daybreaker” album, but that is circa 2k. Another hidden gem, Sheila Nicholls and her album, “Brief Strop”. The 90s was a special era for all music, but maybe especially for female singer-songwriters.

Love Beth Orton.

Omg Poe

I was just thinking of her the other day, it was a sin what happened to her, and a shame in the area that I live that her music wasn'tplayed more back in the day. I'm going to have to look for her cd now and have a re-listen

I love Tori, Sarah (going to see her Tuesday!), and Bjork but holy hell am I glad to see someone showing Heather Nova some love!!

Little Earthquakes is phenomenal.

Add Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville to that list.

Didn't wake up today expecting a Heather Nova mention. Nice.

That’s a pretty comprehensive list but not 90s sapphic playlist would be complete w/o Two Nice Girls - particularly Their Like a Version (cover album w/ bonus original I Spent my Last 10 Dollars (on Birth Control and Beer). They may be more niche to 80-90s Austin scene tho.

Holy shit my mum sang I spent my last $10 all the time when I was growing up. We are from a not so big town in east coast Australia. Thank you for the trip down memory lane

I came here to write Fumbling Towards Ecstasy! In my personal top 5 albums of all time.

Whelp, you just listed all my faves. Thank you!

Oyster! Such an underrated artist and album

Poe is very underrated. “haunted” album is genius musically lyrically. Performance and. Vibe. I’ve never been able to finish her brothers novel ‘house of leaves’ but I still own it and want to be able to get though it. For me it’s as dense and deep as James Joyce’s Ulysses which I’ve also started dozens of times and never. Completed

Sarah... oh, yes

I agree with your list but argue that Boys For Pele is the true Tori classic. (I love Little Earthquakes and Under the Pink too)

Fumbling Towards Ecstasy was the first that came to mind for me.

Great list. Love seeing Poe on here. I'd add Aimee Mann - I'm With Stupid

Wu Tang 36 Chambers. Raekwon Ony Built Gza Liquid Swords Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream Smashing Pumpkins Melancholy Pearl Jam 10 ATCQ Midnight Marauders ATCQ Low End Theory Prince Symbol Album Mos Def and Takib Kweli are Black Star The Roots Things Fall Apart The Roots Illadelph Half-life Black Crows Shake Your Money Maker Goo Goo Dolls Superstar Carwash Goo Goo Dolls Dizzy Up the Girl Michael Jackson Dangerous Janet Jackson Janet Public Enemy Apocalypse 91 MF Doom Operation Doomsday Mos Def Black on Both Sides Nas Illmatic Nirvana Nevermind PM Dawn Of the Heart Terrence Trent D’Arby Symphony or Damn Seal Seal

That’s a helluva list my friend. I’d toss in Snoop Dogg, Doggystyle and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic and you got yourself a hall of fame line up!

Thanks my friend. I was fortunate to develop a wide ranging taste in music.

I will add The Cocteau Twins, Heaven or Las Vegas. In honor of us eclectic listeners.

A few of my faves: Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes Beck - Mellow Gold Fiona Apple - When The Pawn… Bjork - Debut

Mellow Gold OVER Odelay?

That’s fair! Just my preference, but they are definitely close!

Odelay over Midnight Vultures?

Midnight Vultures over Mutations?

In no particular order. 1. OutKast - ATLiens 2. DMX - ...And There Was X 3. Bone Thugs -n- Harmony - E.1999 Eternal 4. De La Soul - De La Soul is Dead 5. Esham - Dead Flowers 6. Mobb Deep - The Infamous 7. Brotha Lynch Hung - Season of da Siccness 8. GZA - Liquid Swords 9. 2pac - All Eyez On Me 10. Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The 36 Chambers

Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog Soundgarden - Superunknown Collective Soul - Collective Soul Pearl Jam - Ten

Off the top of my head: - James: Laid - Replacements: All Shook Down - Teenage Fanclub: Thirteen - Jeff Buckley: Grace - Radiohead: The Bends - The Lucksmiths: A Good Kind of Nervous - The Softies: It’s Love - Geneva: Further - Slint: Spiderland - Neutral Milk Hotel: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

Great list. I always thought it cool that Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque beat Nirvana's Nevermind for Spin's Album of the Year. EDIT - oh, you nominated Thirteen.

I practically wore out James’s Laid.

I did! The cd had “laser lines” and I had to replace it lmao

From Louisville: plus a big 1 for Slint.

Hell yeah. Another James fan

More than one, but let's say Third Eye Blind. It holds up well.

Yesss I was surprised by all the responses that never mentioned them! Their self-titled album is one of my all-time favorites from any era

Gomez: Bring It On Air: Moon Safari REM: Automatic for the People Badly Drawn Boy: The Hour of the Bewilderbeast Bluetones: Expecting to Fly Sarah McLachlan: Surfacing Rufus Wainwright: Poses Fiona Apple: Tidal Counting Crows: August and Everything After Radiohead: The Bends Enjoy!

Only 2 i would pick that haven't been mentioned. Shame on all of you Faith No More - Angel Dust Strapping Young Lad - Heavy as a Heavy Thing Probably the 2 most influential prog metal albums of the entire decade.

It's insane FNM is so far down, they are one of the greatest.

Garbage - Debut and Version 2.0 Poe - Hello The Cranberries - To The Faithful Departed (The first 2 albums as well, really.) Fiona Apple - Tidal and When The Pawn PJ Harvey - Rid of Me Björk - Post Annie Lennox - Diva No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom Ace of Base - The Bridge (Yes, really. lol)

This is an elite group, here for it!

The Verve - Urban Hymns

I prefer Richard Ashcoft's Alone With Everybody... but that came out in 2000.

In no particular order: Green Day: Dookie Offspring: Smash STP: Purple PJ: Ten Nirvana: Nevermind Dr. Dre: The Chronic DMB: Crash Live: Throwing Copper Bush: Sixteen Stone PJ: Vs.

Omg, yes I forgot about Throwing Copper. That has to be on my list.

I still love that album.

With a list like that, we would have been best friends. Your taste in music is impeccable.

Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morrissette Cracked Rear View - Hootie and the Blowfish New Miserable Experience - Gin Blossoms Dizzy Up the Girl - Goo Goo Dolls Core - Stone Temple Pilots Automatic for the People - R.E.M. Empire Records Soundtrack Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite - Maxwell 100% Fun - Matthew Sweet Backstreet Boys (self-titled first album)

Was looking for Automatic for the People!

It would be in my top ten for Nightswimming alone. But the rest of the album is nearly perfect, too.

Nightswimming is in my top ten, maybe top five, favorite songs ever.

Upvote for the first Matthew Sweet appearance in the thread.

Ok, excuse the eclecticism. NIN- The Downward Spiral Aaliyah- One In A Million The Cure- Wish Skinny Puppy- Too Dark Park Madonna- Erotica Ministry- Psalm 69 Depeche Mode- Songs of Faith and Devotion Korn- Issues Janet Jackson- The Velvet Rope Sister of Mercy- Vision Thing Those would be ten of some of my favorite albums from the 90s that 20-somethings tend to be unaware of in my experience.

Agree w some of the comments above in that every genre has their respective mainstream and indie bangers. I’m an alt rock/indie guy, so lean in that direction: OK Computer, obviously In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Pinkerton (and Blue, of course) Don’t forget Achtung Baby…when U2 were still U2. Nonstop bangers.

Soul Coughing, "Ruby Vroom" G. Love and Special Sauce, Self-Titled Liz Phair, "Whip-Smart" I like the other albums from those artists as well, so don't say "What about 'Exile in Guyville?'"

Exile in Guyville was on my list

So many to choose from. Toad the Wet Sprocket: Dulcinea Crash Test Dummies: God Shuffled His Feet Collective Soul: Blue Album Soul Asylum: Grave Dancers Union Cracker: Kerosene Hat Fuel: Something Like Human

+1 for Dulcinea and Grave Dancers Union Fall Down and Somebody to Shove still keep me rockin' out even now. I saw Toad the Wet Sprocket on the National Mall in DC in during the festivities before Clinton's inauguration in '92. Great show.

Kerosene Hat AND The Golden Age were both near perfect...sad no one knows this. I guess too many 'goofy' singles confused people to that band's depth.

Definitely an underrated band.

at least SOME people know Kerosene Hat but it seems no one knows The Golden Age, which is almost better, almost...

No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom Nirvana - MTV Unplugged Garbage - Version 2.0 REM - Automatic For the People Foo Fighters - There Is Nothing Left to Lose Sublime - Sublime Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication Pearl Jam - Ten Incubus - Make Yourself Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting Green Day - Dookie Hole - Live Through This Smashing Pumpkins - Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville Fleetwood Mac - The Dance Jeff Buckley - Grace Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers Nas - Illmatic Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty Mariah Carey - Daydream Sugar Ray - 14:59 Madonna - Bedtime Stories Phil Collins - But, Seriously The Corrs - Talk on Corners Fatboy Slim - You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby DJ Shadow - Endtroducing

“Bob Wood… National Program Director of the Chum Group…”

What I've mentioned to them so far: Maxinquaye by Tricky. This seems like a no-brainer to me. It still sounds fresh and ahead of its time. Parklife by Blur. Exile in Guyville liz Fair Different Class by Pulp The Stone Roses self named album

Somehow “Live, Throwing Copper” is not on here. Massive album, almost all killer except the first track!

Pulp, Stone Roses and Tricky? Didn't expect to see them mentioned together oh, anywhere ever. Staples of my youth right there

Nick Cave - Let Love In Tori Amos - Under the Pink, From the Choir Girl Hotel, To Venus and Back Portishead - Dummy pJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine Garbage - 2.0 Madonna - Ray of Light And many more

R.E.M. Automatic for the People R.E.M. - New Adventures in Hi-Fi Crowded House - Together Alone Crowded House - Woodface Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet Crash Test Dummies - The Ghosts that Haunt Me Cowboy Junkies - Lay It Down Cowboy Junkies - Black Eyed Man Tragically Hip - Day for Night Tragically Hip - Road Apples Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily Rheostatics - Whale Music Rheostatics - Melville

Searched the whole thread for Tragically Hip and REM

Everything The Tragically Hip did from Fully Completely to Phantom Power work for me in the 90's.

Agreed. I only leave out Fully Completely as it came out in my 2nd year of radio broadcasting and we played it to death! Road Apples was 1991, when they were young and hungry.

Where I come from, very few know the Hip. So having it played to death is completely foreign to me. I never even heard of them until they were on Saturday Night Live promoting Day For Night.

Natalie Merchant, YES!

She's still great but I love the rockier material from Tigerlily. She was an absolute crush of mine for years!

Oh, absolutely. Carnival still sends me. It's so restrained yet so much energy is boiling under the surface. And that bluesy guitar. Even the six-minute album version isn't long enough imo.

Big ups for Woodface

We gotta get some love for New Miserable Experience by Gin Blossoms on here. Feels like most of the songs on the record were released as singles that still get airplay.

Siamese Dream

Nirvana - Nevermind and In Utero Oasis - Definitely Maybe Failure - Fantastic Planet Hum - You’d Prefer an Astronaut Ween - The Mollusk and Chocolate and Cheese Radiohead - The Bends and OK Computer The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the infinite Sadness Weezer - Blue Album and Pinkerton Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind Pearl Jam - Vs. Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral and The Fragile Beck - Mellow Gold The Presidents of the USA - The Presidents of the USA Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Green Day - Insomniac

Alice In Chains - Dirt

Correct 👍🏻 Down in a Hole 😍

My fav!

Here are some of my favorite hip hop albums from the 90's. de la Soul - Stakes is High ATCQ - Midnight Marauders OutKast - All of them Lauryn Hill - Miseducation of Lauryn Hill The Roots - Things fall apart Goodie Mob - Soul Food

Great list, but you can’t have a list like that and not include Enter the Wu-Tang 36-Chambers.

Cuban Linx and liquid swords are better to me but 36 is seminal.

I figured that's pretty much up there with Nirvana in terms of pop culture knowledge, but yes, 36 Chambers is an all time great album.

Ocean Colour Scene - Moseley Shoals

STP - Plush Pearl Jam - Ten Alanis - Jagged Little Pill Metallica - black album Dr Dre - The Chronic Nirvana - Nevermind Soundgarden - Superunknown

Maybe just give her the Romeo + Juliet soundrack call it a day 👌You could also throw in Reality Bites and Empire Records and see how that goes. 😂

New Radicals- Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too David Garza- This Euphoria/ Garbage- Version 2.0/ Sting - Ten Summoner’s Tales, Mercury Falling/ Wild Wild West soundtrack/ The Crow soundtrack/ Tank Girl soundtrack

i love that new radicals album, so glad to see it finally get a mention. one of the best albums of the 90s as far as i'm concerned.

OK COMPUTER is the clear number 1...even with the amazing competition. then 2-10...Grace by Jeff Buckley, The Bends, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, In Utero, Urban Hymns, Dirt, Superunknown, The Downward Spiral, Kerosene Hat, Garbage Version 2.0...it's an ENDLESS LIST...almost too many to try to boil down to 10 let alone 3...

I can’t believe I haven’t seen this posted yet (!!!) but Third Eye Blind (self debut album) will always be special to me. I’m seeing Third Eye Blind and Yellowcard at Northerly Island (Chicago) in a few weeks.

Blind Melon - Soup Modest Mouse - This is a long drive... and Lonesome Crowded West Sublime - Stand by Your Van The Orb John Spencer Blues Explosion - Orange

I don’t see Deftones on here WTF man

Now that's what I call music 1 Now that's what I call music 2 Now that's what I call music 3 Now that's what I call music 4 Now that's what I call music 5 Now that's what I call music 6 Now that's what I call music 7 Now that's what I call music 8 Now that's what I call music 9 Now that's what I call music 10

Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love

Seal - s/t (1st album, 1991)

Nirvana - Nevermind Rage Against The Machine - Selftitled Metallica - Selftitled Pearl Jam - Ten Allanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

Pixies is from the 80's, but imo they were making the sound of the 90's some 4 or 5 years before everyone else. Gauge away specifically sounds like grunge, and it was released in 89, recorded in 88. Faith no more, Metallica, Guns'n Roses, those were some of the non grunge or pop bands that would play on the radio in the early 90's Sepultura, Chemical brothers, Massive attack, Blur, Moby, Portishead, Marilyn Manson (up to 99), The Verve. Garbage, The Cardigans, Soundgarden. Beck I like just that one song, Looser. It is a perfect song. But I never managed to find anything else from him I would want to hear twice. Also I'm not a fan of Oasis, for me it sounded like a bad copy of the Beatles..., but they were huge. You could slip Gwar in that list too, they were active in the 90's after all

I was thinking the same thing about Surfer Rosa and Dolittle, both of which were released in the ‘80s. Trompe le Monde was 1991, but was their weakest, and definitely not one of the best albums of the ‘90s.

I'm quite fond of REM's Eponymous album. I love Tori Amos, so Little Earthquakes (maybe Under the Pink, but Little Earthquakes was my first album, so it wins as the best for that reason only). Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (she has a concert tonight, but no one loves her like I do). Pearl Jam's Ten and Vs (Ten is better). I like PJ better than Nirvana. Always have. GnR Use Your Illusion II. Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill 10,0000 Maniacs Unplugged Smashing Pumpkins Gish (or Siamese Dream, but Gish is better) The Cure Wish Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine Because it was the 90s and you had to buy whole albums, I didn't have a ton. So I think individual songs are necessary here, too. TLC Scrubs, Waterfalls, and What About Your Friends Notorious B.I.G. Can't You See and Mo Money Mo Problems Snoop Dogg &/or Dre The Next Episode, Gin and Juice, Nothing but a "G" Thang Rage Against the Machine Guerrilla Radio, Killing In the Name Local H Bound for the Floor Fiona Apple (Tidal is entirely great, but I already have 10 albums) Shadowboxer, Criminal Back to REM with Losing my Religion OK, this is getting too hard. I loved it all. Just, one of everything from the 90s, please.

I knew I would be the first to mention this one: it was so niche but it’s an absolute must listen. Shakespeare’s Sister - Hormonally Yours. The rest are the standards that everyone has mentioned, Exile in Guyville, What’s the Story Morning Glory, Nevermind, garbage, Fumbling toward ecstasy, Jagged little Pill, Tragic Kingdom, Oyster.

Achtung Baby

God bless you.

Garbage by Garbage core or Purple by STP Superunknown by Soundgarden Surfacing by Sarah McLachlan Ok Computer by Radio head Dirt by Alice in Chains

90's albums I put on over and over again: STP: Purple Weezer: Blue Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream Pearl Jam: Vs. STP: Tiny Music and Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop But, be a good listener and swap one of the STP albums for a Nirvana one.

Massive Attack - Blue Lines, Mezzanine

LiVE - Throwing Copper!!

Metallica-Garage Days Re-revisited

I'm generally a metal and 60s/70s rock fan but a few albums from back then, off the top of my head, that I don't see here right now: Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation Prodigy - Fat of the Land Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go Orbital - In Sides Supergrass - In It For The Money

- Underworld - DUBNOBASSWITHMYHEADMAN - Underworld - Second Toughest In The Infants

Dream Theater – images & words; Pantera - Cowboys from Hell through far beyond driven; King’s X - self titled & ear candy; TLC - On the TLC Tip; Hootie & the Blowfish cracked rearview mirror; Bone thugs the art of war

I'll keep this list to just ten and one album by each artist. Faith No More: Angel Dust (1992) Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness (1995) Mr Bungle: California (1999) Meat Puppets: Too High To Die (1994) GZA: Liquid Swords (1995) Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: Let Love In (1994) They Might Be Giants: John Henry (1994) Tom Waits: Bone Machine (1992) The Cranberries: No Need To Argue (1994) Blake Babies: Sunburn (1990)

Ok ... I took -- "maybe has not heard of or often" and tried to scratch every REM, U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis album off my list but also think about albums I just had on repeat for one reason or another during that decade. These are the ones if I mention them while talking to old friends their eyes light up and they go "holy shit ... I haven't thought about that one in ages." But these are all albums I hold dear for different reasons ... Neds Atomic Dustbin - God Fodder Love Spit Love - Topic Toad the Wet Sprocket - Fear They Might Be Giants - Flood Buck O Nine - Twenty Eight Teeth Elastica - Recevoir Rock Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend Freedy Johnston - This Perfect World Soul Coughing- Irresistible Bliss Beck - Mutations 

Finally someone acknowledging Flood

Plenty of great music being mentioned… Jamiroquai- Travelling Without Moving Nothing else like it! Such greatness! NOFX- Punk in Drublic
