21 tracks (22 if your lucky) to trip out on....its easy to overlook bands like 311 and their music...next time your toking it up at a party give a listen to whats blaring from the stereo
8. the bends by radiohead
excellent record...still inferior to ok computer, but what isnt?
7. melon collie and the infinate sadness by smashing pumpkins
the defintive angst album of the nineties...sums up everything everyone else was saying in the mid ninties in one record
6. kerplunk/dookie by green day
definitive, impressive, simple...proved that three chord music will live on forever
5. rage against the machine by rage against the machine
before they were on mtv a little band from l.a. released a record that changed the mood of the nineties from angst to anger....limp bizkit and korn and all those other lousy hard bands can trace all of thier success to this album

2. ok computer by radiohead
ranks number three on my all time list behind the white album and nevermind just above dark side of the moon....this is one incredibly powerful record
1. nevermind by nirvana
before nevermind alternative music was confined to a small rack in the back of my local record shop...nevermind changed EVERYTHING

10. This Child by Susan Aglukark
A First Nations woman, Aglukark neatly blended her roots with modern music to create a fascinating album. The result is a disc that I still play all the time; the music is bright and invigorating, with that great exotic edge.
9. Naveed by Our Lady Peace
Thanks to this album, OLP slowly but surely climbed to a secure position at the top of the Cdn alternative music hill. Interesting songs with a compelling drive to them (the most-played was 'Starseed').
8. The Ghosts That Haunt Me by Crash Test Dummies
A surprise hit in the early part of the decade, the Superman Song was played nonstop on the airwaves (not to mention in my home). It's not often a voice like that comes onto the pop music scene - if the lead singer sang any lower, it would be beneath the range of human hearing. The vocals make your bones rattle.
7. Dear Dear by 54.40
A solidly classic Cdn band. This was one of their most popular discs released in the 90s, and deservedly so.
6. whatever the hell that first album was called by The Tea Party
Although I can't recall the darn name, their debut disc recieved much attention. Interesting trance-y music, slow and densem, with cool vocals which some said were a ripoff of some earlier band, but hey, they were the only ones doing it in the 90s so who cares?
5. Shakespeare My Butt by Lowest Of The Low
Not as well known as other 90s Cdn bands (I'm not sure they're still around, either), they were nonetheless one of the best finds in the scene. I played this disc until it wore out. Extremely witty lyrics, feel-good tunes with an edge of seriousness.
4. Gordon by Barenaked Ladies
If you never knew what to do if you had a million dollars, just listen to this disc. Buy a llama? Eat more Kraft Dinner? Buy a green coat (but not a real green coat - that's cruel)? Extremely fun, enjoyable band exploded onto the scene with this disc; not only masters of musical humor, but also very talented instrumentalists and vocalists.
3. Surfacing/Fumbling Towards Ecstasy by Sarah McLachlan
Can't decide between the two. A driving force in furthering the Cdn music industry; we have her to thank for Lilithfair.
2. The Visit by Loreena McKennitt
An incredibly talented vocalist, this was her first album to really be recognized (she finally got some airplay with The Mummer's Dance off of her newest disc, "The Book of Secrets". Truly unique music, ethereal and complex, rich with world influences and interesting instruments.
1. Fully Completely by The Tragically Hip
The undisputed kings of Cdn rock. Fathers of Another Roadside Attraction, which helped launch a number of other bands in this list. Also extremely entertaining to see live, thanks to the lead singer and his beatific facial expressions.

10. Wonderworld by Molly's Yes
This is the coolest pop album I have ever heard, and I hate pop. This is a mix of pop and alternative, with awesome drum solos and cool lyrics.
9. Dosage by Collective Soul
If you feel philosphical, listen to this. The lyrics are very deep and thought-provoking. But it also rocks.
8. Dizzy Up The Girl by Goo Goo Dolls
This album is so cool. It's the best one from the Goo Goo Dolls so far.
7. Third Eye Blind by Third Eye Blind
This is the best album for parties. Third Eye Blind is so awesome and they have great songs too.
6. Follow The Leader by KoRn
KoRn rocks!! This album is so awesome!!
5. Americana by Offspring
This is the first cd I ever bought on my own, I think. I was 13 and memorized almost the entire thing. It is so awesome!!
4. So Much For The Afterglow by Everclear
Everclear is so cool. This album is full of great songs and plenty of anger. Good album to listen to when you are pissed off.
3. Nevermind by Nirvana
This band rocks!!!! Smells Like Teen Spirit is definitely a great song and the video is so cool!!!
2. Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This album is so awesome!! It's the best chili peppers album out there.
1. Enema of The State by blink-182
this is like the album that defines 1999. blink is so awesome!!

10. Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson
This album came out during a very dark point in my life, and for some reason, it helped me through it.
9. Undertow by Tool
A great concept album from the most underapreciated rock bands of the 90's.
8. Surfacing by Sarah McLachlan
Deeply moving and melancholy.
7. Boys For Pele by Tori Amos
Although considered by most critics and fans to be her worst album, it was the one that made me a fan of hers. I find it dark and disturbing, and always enjoyable.
6. Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
The ultimate album of sin, hate, and debauchery. I feel dirty after I listen to it. But I think that's the point.
5. The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails
One of the best, most creative albums of the 90's. Gives me faith in the future of music.
4. Karma by Delerium
I know no one has heard of them, but Delerium is truly beyond definition. This album is almost a religious experience. Check them out.
3. The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Epic journey through despair and self-hatred. One of the most influential albums of all time.
2. Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Her debut album is still her best.
1. Aenima by Tool
This album, quite simply, rocks.

10. Backstreet Boys (1995) by Backstreet Boys
Did you have any doubt I'd mention them again?! They are defintily the artists of the 90's in my opinion and I'm sure many other people would agree, and not just teenage girls. Their music can be heard by everyone and even though this particular album was imported from overseas and didnt make it very big in the US its still one of my favorite albums of all time. Love you BSB!!!
9. Unleash The Dragon(1999) by Sisqo
What can I say? The "Thong Song" was the Spring Break song of 2000!! Major props out to Sisqo!
8. 5ive(1998) by 5ive
5ive didnt get as much recognition in the states as I thought they would. I think they're a great new boy band with music that has a different feel to it and sets them apart from other boy bands as well as other artists period.
7. Devil Without a Cause(1998) by Kid Rock
More Detroit pride comin' from Kid Rock who has been an artist for 10 years but never recognized until this album was released. Songs like "Bawitdaba" and "Cowboy" really made their mark and who can forget the beautiful ballad "Only God Knows" Kid has certainly managed to not be a forgotten artist any longer!!
6. Oooo on the TLC Tip(1993) by TLC
This funky and independant "girl group" really made me cross over from the music I was currently listening to and broaden my horizons to new peaks. I think it's really wonderful how they can express themselves so freely and not worry about what critics and haters think.
5. Enrique (1999) by Enrique Iglesias
Forget Ricky Martin, Enrique should've hit a lot bigger than he did. With catchy tunes like "Baliamos" and "Rhythm Divine" he shouldve blown "La Vida Loca" out of the water. He has definitly proven not to be in his father's shadow any longer!
4. Backstreet's Back (1997) by Backstreet Boys
Again I have to give it up for BSB. They set the new generation of the trend teenage girls are STILL going nuts for--the whole boy band thing. If people can get pass the stereotype of "boy bands" and listen to the talented vocalists in BSB they would truly respect them as artists and realize that theyre NOT NKOTB and theyre gonna be around for many years to come.
3. LFO (1999) by LFO
LFO has clever lyrics and a nice blend of R&B, pop and a little bit of rap thrown in with it.
2. The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) by Eminem
Eminem is the best rapper of all time in my opinion. He has definitly topped the Slim Shady LP by far. He's just such a talented writer and artist. I admire him very much.
1. Millennium (1999) by Backstreet Boys
They're the only REAL boy band!! Not only are they serious about music and dancing they also write. This album was the bomb and deserves to be heard EVERYDAY!!!!
