• 10. Melon Collie & the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins
  Deserves to be higher probably, but it's my 10th favorite cd of the 90's...not too shabby.
• 9. Short Bus by Filter
  Most people have heard "Hey Man, Nice Shot", but the rest of the first Filter album rocks just as hard!!!
• 8. Throwing Copper by Live
  Enchanting rock that will grow "all over you"!!!!!!
• 7. Pearl Jam by Ten
  One of the best albums ever. Would have been higher, but there are other great albums of 90's.....tough choice.
• 6. The Ozzman Cometh by Ozzy Osbourne
  Another greatest hits cd released in the 90's. Ozzy rules!! "Just Want You" is one of my favoite songs of all time, and the rest of the album is kick ass too!!!
• 5. Cross Road by Bon Jovi
  This greatest hits album is exactly that. Almost every track is one that will grow on you and you won'y ever tire of listening to this whole album!!
• 4. In Utero by Nirvana
  Almost as good as Nevermind. Cobain was a musical genious.
• 3. Nevermind by Nirvana
  Everyone else loves this album, and I agree. All of the post-Nirvana rock bands owe something to the band that changed music forever.
• 2. Rage Against the Machine by Rage Against the Machine
  Their first ablum, this the the best pump-up album ever. Every song is hard hitting and Killing in the Name still rules!!!
• 1. AEnima by Tool
  When I paid $15 for this cd, I had no idea it would be my favorite cd of all time!!! The variety of sounds Maynard uses is awesome!!! Everyone has heard "Stinkfest", but that is probably my least favorite song on the whole CD! IT JUST ROCKS!!!!!

There were so many great bands last decade. It is really hard to pin down a top 10......I just hope TOOL will come out with another CD soon!!!

  Good stuff here.
• 9. dunno what the albums called by Living End
  The one with save the day, all torn town, prisoner of society, etc. These guys rock, plain and simple.
• 8. Throwing Copper by Live
  Deep, meaningful, and just awesome.
• 7. Dookie by Green Day
  First punk album that just became huge?? I dunno, but it rocks.

  Read all the other expl,anations, this one seems to turn up a lot on these lists.
• 5. Hang Ups by Goldfinger

  Good second effort, can't touch their first album, but then what can? Some good tunes on here though.

• 2. Melancholie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins
  Muzzle, 1979, Bullet w/Butterfly Wings...a kickass album.

  Perfection. Every song. The 3 singles may be 3 of the worst songs (or they may not be). Only In Dreams is the best song of the 90's. Give this one a listen people.

• 9. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
  
• 8. Chocolate and Cheese by Ween
  
• 7. XO by Elliot Smith
  
• 6. Achtung Baby by U2
  Only one album has bigger balls than Achtung.

  Think about it, how brilliant is it to release your slowest album during the heart of 'grunge'.
• 1. Nevermind by Nirvana
  The most important rock album of the last 20 years. And if anybody includes Nevermind with Limp Bizkit, G&R, Metallica, Creed or Silverchair you really don't understand what that signifigance is.

Honorable mention to the Pixies-Bossanova, Pavement-any, Sonic Youth-Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star, Liz Phair-Exile in Guyville, Built to Spill-Keep it Like a Secret, PJ Harvey-To Bring You My Love and Slint-Spiderland. For Shits and Giggles you should check out my top albums of the 80's.
