10 Favorite Albums of the 90s (One per Artist)

edited April 2011 in Other Music
Well, some had trouble coming up with enough for the 80s, and even the 70s :? , but nobody should have any problem with this decade. 10 albums, maximum one per artist. And none of this "I can't decide so Ten/Vs./Vitalogy/No Code/Yield" crap. You have to pick one and only one (or none, if that's your thing, although I'm not sure why you'd be in the Ten Club in that case). :!: :o;)

Have fun!

    blind melon- nico
    r.e.m.- automatic for the people
    pearl jam- yield
    johnny cash- unchained

    tom petty- wildflowers
    dave matthews band- before these crowded streets
    phish- a live one
    pink floyd- the division bell
    janet jackson- janet. (total guilty pleasure, but i think it's a fantastic record)

    the 90's were my formative years (aged from 12 to 22), discovering what music really was and developing my tastes even though a lot of what was available to me was mainstream music, so there is an absolute ton i could have listed. i'm pretty certain this wouldn't be my final top 10 given enough time to really think about it, but oh well.
