    • 10. Millennium new wave/ millennium hip hop collection by various artists
      i know this is supposed to be a 90's section, but they were made in the 90's... these cd's take me right back to my childhood and they really get the party going. everyone should buy them.
    • 9. the velvet rope by janet jackson
      if i were ever trying to seduce a man, this would be playing in the background...
    • 8. August and everything after by counting crows
      this was my first cd i ever bought with my own $. I listened to it at least once a day my 7th grade year. great to listen to if you just need to chill.
    • 7. live through this by hole
      wonderful tunes. every time I hear them I want to pick up my guitar and join a band.
    • 6. bedtime stories by madonna
      madonna is my absolute favorite person in the whole wide world and my ultimate idol. This is my 2nd favorite of hers, my first being her debut, but this has deeper lyrics and emotion that she'd never expressed before. :)
    • 5. daydream by mariah carey
      this is mariah's best. I had three different boyfriends that "our song" could be found on this CD. Go mariah!
    • 4. tidal by fiona apple
      it's nice to hear a singer with a distinctly non-pop sound. Her lyrics are incredible and I am one of the only chicks I know that can sing as low as she can.
    • 3. mellon collie and the infinite sadness by smashing pumpkins
      this is the only cd I own that i can completely relate to every single song on it
    • 2. becoming x by sneaker pimps
      if i were stranded on a desert island with only two cd's, this would be my only other option besides nirvana.
    • 1. Nevermind by Nirvana
      The absolute best of all time, nothing will ever beat this, no questions asked.

    I am personally an 80's child myself, but the 90's did produce some good stuff. others I did not get to mention are Run DMC's down w/ the king, ace of base's the sign, foo fighters, and sublime. and vanilla ice. props to the almighty whitey!

    By: Deb
    • 10. Smash by The Offspring
      This album is before they totally sold out. It's just awesome lyrics and awesome songs.
    • 9. Dookie by Green Day
      Every time I hear these songs it takes me back to seventh and eighth grade. I still love these songs.
    • 8. The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner by Ben Folds Five
      These songs are all so touching and beautiful. Especially Don't Change You Plans and Magic.
    • 7. Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morisette
      This is the only female album I own, but it is incredible. She sings with such rage that is too cool and the songs rock.
    • 6. Be Here Now by Oasis
      The average song length on this album is like 6 minutes which I find pretty cool. Awesome album.
    • 5. Nevermind by Nirvana
      Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lithium, and Come As You Are are some of my favorite songs from the decade and this entire album is just awesome.
    • 4. Automatic For The People by REM
      This album is just wonderful. It's a softer and more serious side of one of my favorite bands ever and contains some of my favorite songs like Everybody Hurts, Drive, and Man on the Moon. Actually, every song on this album is awesome.
    • 3. Ten by Pearl Jam
      This is just a truly awesome grunge album.
    • 2. Unplugged in New York by Nirvana
      This is in my opinion Nirvana in their natural state and I just think that Kurt's musical genius is truly reflected on this live album.
    • 1. Purple by Stone Temple Pilots
      This was one of the first albums that I was ever obsessed with. I would listen to it 24/7 and it never grew old.


    By: Stephanie
    • 10. Superunknown by Soundgarden
      One of my favorite bands of all time. The album that got me into alternative music.
    • 9. In Utero by Nirvana
      Another great album by one of the greatest bands of the decade.
    • 8. Korn by Korn
      None of their other albums have ever topped this one. Shows some real emotion amidst all the screaming.
    • 7. Galore by The Cure
      Sums up some of the band's great late eighties and early nineties songs.
    • 6. Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
      Tori is just amazing.
    • 5. Ten by Pearl Jam
      My favorite Pearl Jam album. Some songs that rock and some really beautiful songs as well, such as Release and Garden.
    • 4. Dirt by Alice in Chains
    • 3. OK Computer by Radiohead
      Brilliant and beautiful.
    • 2. Nevermind by Nirvana
      This album is absolutely perfect from beginning to end. There is not one song on this album that i dislike.
    • 1. Temple of the Dog by Temple of the Dog
      My favorite album. Chris Cornell has an amazing voice. A moving tribute to Andy Wood.

      It's just so PRETTY!

      Perhaps the grittiest, grimiest album of all time.
    • 8. Ten by Pearl Jam
      Pearl Jam's only true claim to talent.

      *THE* seduction album...

      Arguably the best industrial album of all time.

    • 2. Nevermind by Nirvana

    • 1. Nine Inch Nails by The Downward Spiral
      Perhaps one of the most important album of all time.

    Much of the music in the '90s, aside from the huge surge of hip-hop, r&b and rap, was a continuation and variation on the underground music movements started in the late 70s through the 80s.
