These guys are the best rockers! Best song... All in the Family. If U didn't know, Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and Korn's Jon Davis are dissing on each other and it is so cool!!!
4. Significant Other by Limp Bizkit
It's the coolest, those guys rock!!! Hey, do U know about the hiden song, go to 15 then fast forward to the end and keep going U'll get the hidden track, #16, its' sweet!!!
3. The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
One word to describe this album... Hilarious!!
2. Chronic 2001 by Dr. Dre
It's the best!! Dre got o many cool pople in on this, it's hard not to be the best!!
1. Enema of the State by Blink 182

4. The Hits by Garth Brooks
Too many of his CDs to name ...I love them all. He's one helluva performer and singer.
3. Savage Garden by Savage Garden
I listen to it constantly!
2. Supernatural by Santana
This album ROCKS! After 30 years, it was a long time coming!
1. Ricky Martin 1991-1999 by Ricky Martin
Since all 5 of his solo albums were released in the 90's, I'm lumping them all into one entry. They're all awesome CDs. Period.

10. THE WEDDING ALBUM by DURAN DURAN
sounds like America to me!
9. BRAVE by MARILLION
atmospheric sympho rock
8. CALIFORNICATION by RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS
simply the best album they ever made
7. PLAY by MOBY
the man is a genius!!!
6. ULTRA by DEPECHE MODE
and still they can do it in the late 90's!
5. VIOLATOR by DEPECHE MODE
the best DM album to me
4. ZOOROPA by U2
ACHTUNG BABY:the new technology
3. WISH by THE CURE
beautiful:darkness mixed with happyness
2. ACHTUNG BABY by U2
awesome also
1. VISION THING by THE SISTERS OF MERCY
simply awesome!!!!

10. Behavior by Pet Shop Boys
Neil Tennant finally learns that singing is preferable to speaking, and the result is the best PSB album of all time-- soft, but memorable all the way through (despite what I thought of it initially).
9. Factory Showroom by They Might Be Giants
A great, somewhat-conventional album by an eternally-great band...."Spiraling Shape" is my favorite TMBG song of all time.
8. Earth and Sun and Moon by Midnight Oil
Peter Garrett & Co. go entirely pop, with great, jangly-yet-well-written results.
7. The Great Escape by Blur
"Parklife" is a great album too, but the under-rated followup takes you through all of the twisted corners of Damon Albarn's mind. Not too many standouts because the entire album's great.
6. Fully Completely by The Tragically Hip
Simply rocks all the way through-- like all of this band's albums, but this is the most consistent of any of them. If these guys were from America, they'd probably be overplayed here but due to the Canadian "embargo" I can enjoy them without worrying about radio saturation.
5. Up by R.E.M.
All of R.E.M.'s '90s albums have been pretty good (except for "Monster," their worst album of all time), but this is definitely the best. Low-key as hell, yet the melodies are surprisingly strong. It needs time to grow on you though,
4. Apple Venus, Volume 1 by XTC
The followup "Wasp Star (Volume 2)" is better, but this is a fine orchoustic collection by the best band of all time (yeah, you heard me!!!). Find me a better song than "Easter Theatre." I dare you.
3. The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Pretty frigging different from what the band was doing just six years earlier. A really gorgeous, solid album in spite of this, though it sounds a bit mechanically-calculated at a few spots (but not in a bad way!).
2. Running With Scissors by Weird Al Yankovic
After two mediocre albums (Alapalooza and Bad Hair Day) Al returns with possibly his best album of the '90s. The Star Wars parody gets old fast, but "It's All About The Pentiums" is so spot-on about the internet that it can't help but be funny.
1. Apollo 18 by They Might Be Giants
An amazing album. Perhaps it's lacking on the annoying singles that everyone associates with the band ("Particle Man"....urgh), yet this is one solid album. 18 songs (38 tracks because one song is spread over 20 of the tracks), and nearly every one great or at least good. Bow down to your gods John Linnell and John Flansburgh.

10. N Sync by No Strings Attatched
I know it's kinda bubble gum pop stuff. but they are good. in fact, i believe even better than BSB. their harmonies are killer, and they CAN dance. :)
9. Eight Arms To Hold You by Veruca Salt
Awesome band!!!!! COOL SOUNDS!!!!
8. Limp Bizkit by Limp Bizkit
Another definite killer. awesome beats with good lyrical content.
7. When The Pawn... by Fiona Apple
ALso another lyrical genius with kick butt piano capabilities....
6. Chronic 2001 by Dr. Dre
Awesome album if you like the rap stuff. Check it out!
5. Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
REALLY GOOD LYRICS and awesome piano work by the one and only TORI!
4. Celebrity Skin by Hole
This album is amazing as well. good songs.... courtney did an awesome job!
3. Enema Of the State by Blink -182-
KICK ASS!!!!!! cool songs, lyrics. EVERYTHING ABOUT this album ROCKS!
2. Slim Shady LP by EMINEM
Yes, EMINEM again. this guy is REALLY good. This albums more "fun" i guess you could say....
1. The Marshall Mathers LP by EMINEM
This guy is amazing. He's not afraid to speak his mind. He's got awesome talent, and knows how to tell the truth.

10. What's the Story (Morning Glory) by Oasis
Timeless music... This album proves the Beatles still would have made it had they been a 90's band.
9. Weezer (the blue album) by Weezer
Not revolutionary but proves punk rock can be good music.
8. Beastie Boys by Ill Communication
Before Korn, and Limp Bizkit, the Beasties were mixing alternative and hip hop. They still do a much better job of it.
7. Odelay by Beck
Beck is the master, he could record the sound of a garbage truck and make it into a great song.
6. OK Computer by Radio Head
I could say the same thing here as I did for Pearl Jam. It really, really makes you think.
5. Ten by Pearl Jam
The songs are appeal to the ear and the mind. They really have somthing to say. A good example of art reflecting society.
4. Under the Table and Dreaming by Dave Matthews Band
I havn't seen too much Dave listed. Dave is a breath of fresh air from the punk, rap, or teeny-bopper music of the 90's
3. The Cronic by Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dog
I'm not a fan of rap but I have to give props. Gansta rap remained popular through the entire decade. This album represents eveything that it was
2. Mellon Collie and the Infinate Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins
Very very well written. Grungy and soft at the same time. The Pumpkins are one of the few original bands in the 90's
1. Nevermind by Nirvana
I'm trying not to be cliche, but this is the best. The music was fresh and revolutionary like all rock and roll should be.
