6.pj harvey-rid of me 1993, i get hard just listening

9.gorguts-obscura 1998, one of the heaviest albums ever
10.nirvana-incesticide 1992, awesome

bonus picks: the crow soundtrack 1994, no list of the 90s would be complete without
                        judgement night soundtrack 1993, best. soundtrack. ever.

1. Faith No More - Angel Dust (THE album of the 90's - completely original, very influential and fucking awesome!)
2. Pearl Jam - Ten (for me, this is the ultimate grunge album.)
3. Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual (their best stuff was released before the 90's, but still this album is so underrated it's just sad. if only people knew how influential this album was.)
4. Alice In Chains - Dirt (another great grunge album from one of the best bands ever.)
5. Fishbone - The Reality of Your Surroundings (same goes here as for Jane's Addiction. highly influenital, totally underrated.)

7. Bush - Sixteen Stone (one of the albums I grew up listening to on repeat.)
8. Cold - Cold (I'm probably gonna get shit for this, but this album is a masterpiece. too bad the band started sucking humongously after this release.)
9. Pitchshifter - www.pitchshifter.com (noisy drum'n'bass metal - had never been done like this before, will never be done like this again.)

As for me, I'd go with something like

Nirvana - Nevermind   (one of my first CDs, very influential to me as it was my first steps in "rock" world)
RATM - RATM (same as above)
Around The Fur (the 1st deftones album I listened to, which led me where I am today so...)
Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Powers (still one of the greatest albums ever made, so it has to be here)
Pearl Jam - Ten (my best friend's favourite : I always listened to it when seeing him, great great album)
Alice In Chains (can't choose any album, all are too awesome - I love this band so much)
Faith No More - King For a Day, Fool for a Lifetime (album I still love, discovery of FNM for me, so all good)
Soundgarden - Superunknown (old album from back in the days, contains one of my all time favourite song : Head Down)
Down - Nola (discovered it not that long ago, but it's so awesome that I have to put it here)

Soundgarden - Superunknown (old album from back in the days, contains one of my all time favourite song : Head Down)

really? over badmotorfinger?

I dont have the Badmotorfinger cd (shame on me I know), so I have to go with Superunknown. Plus I didn't know badmotorfinger at the time...
Even until now, I never listened to it that much.... Just listened to it like I could listen to any mp3...

That's why I love cds, cause you actually REALLY listen to them...

preaching to the choir. bmf actually had to grow on me, i didnt really like it at first. the more i listened the more i realized how awesome it was

I guess I need to give it more listens then... ;)
I've got so many albums to listen to these days... Fuck that, I need more time...

That, or not to be lazy, and put them on my Ipod !

haha. me too, i have so many albums that need to go on. its funny, i used to be all about listening to full albums but since i got my ipod i listen to shuffle mostly. i like the random songs i forget about

I still try to never do that.... I guess I never did it for the past 3 months I had my Ipod... How cool is that ?

nice. still, sometimes ill hear a random song from an album i forgot about (i have a lot of them) that will inspire me to listen to that album tho

nice too.... I understand about that... But I've got so many things to "discover" (whether it's old or new stuff) that I don't have time to do that....
Could be fun though... But there's to many shitty stuff on my IPod, I never did ordered anything nicely with only good music.... My fault though...

this is where that alot of time at work comes into play haha

damn... lucky bitch...

Anyway, time for me to say bye, I'm still smelly from rugby training, so it's shower + bed time for me...
Cheers my man, and talk to you later...

Badmotorfinger is my second favorite Soundgarden album. at first place comes Louder Than Love. now THAT album takes a lot of listening to grow on you.

that said, everything Soundgarden has released is great - from their first ep's to their last album.

it has such a relaxed, meandering, feel good sound.

it's not my favorite Radiohead, but in my book it kicks The Bends all over the place.

haha, i'm lucky enough to have a job that also allows me the time to listen to music all day and have enough downtime to search for new music.

i'm always on the look out for something new. :)


a break down:

[1993] My Dying Bride: Turn Loose the Swans (one of the pioneers of doom metal, for years they had a violinist that was a member of the band.)
[1994] Veni Domine: Material Sanctuary (what i would call "power doom", as it's very proggy doom music with falsetto vocals and a choir.)
[1997] Autechre: Chiastic Slide (insanity. absolutely crazy electronic "idm".)
[1997] Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects: Sol Niger Within (solo work from the guitar mastermind of Meshuggah. a much more solo-laden work)
[1998] Bright Eyes: Letting Off the Hapiness (one of the rawest, most emotionally draining albums ever made. brilliant.)
[1998] Extol: Burial (a slice of black/death metal perfection.)

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Radiohead - Ok Computer
Nine inch Nails - The Fragile
Caifanes - El Silencio
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Notorious BIG - Ready to Die
A tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders

No numbering, just good mention-worthy albums.
very very generic. I'm such a post-2000 music guy :(

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (a milestone in NIN creation. Dark, agressive, chaotic)
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile (very conceptual, very well crafted/mixed/mastered, emotional and creative)
Tool - Ænima (progressive, rhythmic, strong identity)
Mogwai - Young Team (I claim Mogwai Fear Satan to be the greatest song written in 90s)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanada (absolutely unique, epic, creative and explosive)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F♯A♯∞ (gorgeous, dark, ambient, artistic, very innovative)
Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun (even though now I keep seeing this band as not that amazing anymore, but this album is very interesting)
Blindside - A Thought Crushed My Mind (an album to rock out, other albums suck kinda, but this one is something special. heavy, emotional)
Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing (early phases of getting into music for me; emotional, strong identity)
Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children (intelligent trippy electronica - what's here not to like?)

Not an easy task but here we go

NIN-The Fragile
Deftones-Around The Fur
Megadeth-Rust In Peace
Pantera-Vulgar Display Of Power
Sepultura-Arise (Their fucking besT!)
Tool-Aenima
Machine Head-The More Things Change
Stone Temple Pilots-Core
Pearl Jam-Ten
Alice In Chains-Dirt

Jeez I was just a wee school kid in the 90's but music surrounded my ass. All the neighbor kids were rocking out introducing me to random shit. I still think the 90's was the best era for rock, aside from the 60's/70's, 80's was kinda lame but the new wave and pop stuff was pretty bopping.

1: Around the Fur - Deftones.
Duh. This changed my musical landscape, making me realize, yea you can be "bROOtAlzzz" yet sincere and melodic.

2: MTV Unplugged in New York - Nirvana
Being a huge Nirvana fan before I got into Deftones, this has to be the best recording Nirvana did, IMO. Extremely personal yet entertaining. Don't get me wrong I still hold In Utero and Nevermind (gasp!) in high regards, but this was so different, yet similar, to everything they achieved. An inside look of their influences aside from punk/hardcore.

3: Calculating Infinity - the Dillinger Escape Plan
Even though I got into hardcore and mathcore in the 2000's, this was still released in '99. Holy shit. This aside from Deftones and Nirvana, rocked my world. Totally shook every perception I had of music yet it had that similar abrasive approach I loved.

4: Wu-Tang Forever - Wu-tang Clan
Fuckin Wu Tang! What's not to like? Original rhymes, original beats, with an air of dirt. You can hear the passion, and fun, they had making this. The Dog Shit still is my favorite song off this.

5: Pinkerton - Weezer
Hands down my favorite Weezer album of all time. El Scorcho, No Other One, Why Bother? Classics! It has that poppy appeal that made the Green Album so lovable, yet is a little dark in it's own right.

6: Super Unknown - Soundgarden
Woof. This album is just powerful. Experimental with Indian melodies, song structure, meter, yet has that thick groove only Soundgarden can create. I remember, as a kid, the Black Hole Sun video really disturbed me with the seedy Americana imagery.

7: OK Computer - Radiohead
This is a given. The textures and spirit put into this album is timeless. I always refer back to this album due to it's approach in experimenting, it takes me on a journey with the moods and aura it puts out. The whole hey, we're gonna do whatever it takes to get this message across is breath taking. It contains a beauty way too many try to copy.

8: Life is Peachy - Korn
Oh boy, I got into Korn with this album, and they introduced me to the whole droptuned fury of emotion. It is a disgusting, guilty, frantic, intoxicated honest creature. Almost too honest. Emo really. Nothing they have done can compare to the aggressive truthfulness this album has. IMO, even the 1st one doesn't compare. Many will argue this but meh, I don't care. This, to me, is their definative moment as a band.

9: Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters
I'm not a fan of anything past the Colour and the Shape, but this album is gold. It has that punk attitude with the whole grunge tone, metaphors, and meager honesty alternative has. I honestly think this was the best thing Grohl could of done after Kurt's death, it pays tribute to the spirit Nirvana had but still identifies itself as being individual. Not to mention Grohl played every instrument on the album is just awe inspiring.

10: An Audio Guide to Everyday Atrocity - Nothingface
Wow. Just simply wow. This was one album I could not put down when I got it. It took everything I liked about metal and hardcore and made it more extreme. Holt's vocals are just monstrous and intense.

My head's gonna explode if I'm gonna attempt to pick only 10 albums from my favorite musical decade, so here's a top 20!
