What are your top ten favorite albums from the 90s?
By: Mark
- 10. Pinkerton by Weezer
I'm a Weezerholic, I admit it.
- 9. Goat by The Jesus Lizard
- 8. Houdini by Melvins
The only Melvins album I own, I heard some of their others are better, though. But this is pretty damn good. Kurt Cobain plays on it! Yay!
- 7. Greatest Gift by Scratch Acid
- 6. Body to Body Job to Job by Swans
- 5. Evol by Sonic Youth
- 4. Ritual De Low Habitual by Jane's Addiction
If you haven't heard "Three Days" or "Been Caught Steeling" then you haven't really heard Jane's Addiction. This is their best release.
- 3. Unplugged in New York by Nirvana
Great acoustic set. You've got to like "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam" and "The Man Who Sold the World." Also, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" is incredible. You HAVE to hear that song.
- 2. In Utero by Nirvana
I'd rather listen to this than Nevermind, probably cuz I've heard Nevermind zillions of times. In Utero is loud and abrasive at times and then can get as quiet as a whisper without warning. The songs are incredible, with much more emphasis on lyrics than before ("This had nothing to do with what you think/If you ever think at all" he drunkenly sang in Radio-Friendly Unit-Shifter, right before using a brilliant analogy for his meteoric rise to stardom, "All of a sudden my water broke") Many drug-related themes also surface in the songs ("My heart is broke/But I have some glue/Help me inhale/And mend it with you" from Dumb)
- 1. Nevermind by Nirvana
Beautiful, lonely, haunting, emotionally ravaging. If you haven't heard this album, go buy it. When it first came out, a friend of mine who had heard it was telling me it would change the face of music. He was right. While not technically superior to other albums at the time, it still jumps at you like nothing else. Each song on it sounds like Kurt is screaming for his life. Although I prefer In Utero and Unplugged to Nevermind, this album is undoubtedly more important. It's a perfect blend of Beatlesque hooks alongside crunching guitar. It featured several passionate, angst-ridden songs about everything from codependency to apathy, from childhood fantasies to a true story of the torture and incredible escape of a young girl named Polly. The lyrics range from the witty ("I'll start this off without any words" Kurt casually sang at the beginning of On A Plain) to the haunting ("Polly wants a cracker/Think I should get off her first/Think she wants some water/To put out the blowtorch" in Polly)
By: Jennifer Lynn
- 10. Saints and sinners by All saints
This album has showd the new side to then it´s like cool and tough with a bit of girl power actually! The songs are a bit jazzy and cool!
- 9. Born to do it by Craig David
This album is really new and so is Craig. His voice is really speceil too.
- 8. Robyn is here by Robyn
The album became really big in the Nordic countrys and some other countrys like in 95-96. Her vocals are amazing,and you can even hear one acapella. The sound is r´n´b and all the producers are Swedeish, which means that it´s obviusly a cool album (before you get it)´cause they are the best producers in the world (just so ya´know). She´s worked with the same producers as Britney Spears, but she writes her own songs.
- 7. Revalation by 98*
I just bought the album a few weeks ago and it´s really cool! A lot of the songs have a mixture of r´n´b and electonic sound. The ballads are really nice too!
- 6. Millennium by Backstreet boys
oh, i just love the album!! I love them!!
- 5. MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE by Whitney Houston
The album has beautiful songs and you can´t forget Whitney´s vocals! A lot of her songs (on yhis album) have meaningful lyrics, like "My love is your love and " I bow out". This is one of her many great albums!
- 4. NKOTB gteatest hits by New kids on the block
Of course it is´nt an "album-album", but anyways. It´s really good ´cause it has 15 differnt song they´ve had. These 5 guys have got great vocals anh theyre songs have great beats!
- 3. Rainbow by Mariah Carey
This is Mariah´s latest album, and it´s great! Mariah has suck beautiful vocals (it´s really amazing)and i feel as if she uses them in a new way on this one- it´s all good! I think she´s put a lot of her experience down on it, her mistakes, happy times, and bad times (you can tell in the lyrics).
- 2. ...Baby one more time by Britney Spears
This album is Brit´s first and it´s super good (maybe that´s why it´s sold like 20 million). it has many grovy dance toons, but at the same time nice ´n slow ballads.
- 1. Music by Madonna
Of all her albums this one is different and cool! It has electric, country, r´n´b, and a little pop to it so it´s a nice album, i think this ones gonna sell just as good as her other albums- in fact maybe beter!
