Let’s take this to another level and all just make a repository of our iPod contents. Haha!

But I have so little ’90s music in my iPod. 

If we did a 1965-1975 best albums, it would be game over. Also a lot of early aughts stuff.

You mean mix tapes and CR-r's?

Damn...no DMB love at all? I don’t think they made one list.

This thread should've just been "Uhhh it's Ten" followed by Sea simply closing off comments.

Dankind, kicking it up a notch or Ten.

A word about Dave Matthews Band - I respect them, but besides sharing the same birthday as Dave, I’m essentially uninterested in their music. “Crash.. Into Me” still kills, however.

I've never liked DMB.  I know they have a loyal following but I just don't get it.

Yeah they’re not one of my favorite bands but I thought Crash would have made someone’s top 10. It was a great album of the 90’s.

no order top 10:

Parklife
Enter the 36 Chambers
Ok Computer
Endtroducing
In Utero
Slanted and Enchanted
Siamese Dream
Post
Exile in Guyville
Loveless





I mean, theres at least another 25 albums I could put here. After the 60s and maybe the 70s (but probably not), the 90s were the best decade for music. Yes some garbage music got a lot more exposure, but that was because of the mediums of broadcast and the peak monetization of said exposure. Maybe it was the case for all the decades, but the 90s really pushed things forward. Probably in a greater capacity than the previous 20 years of music. 

shit. I can't believe I forgot Loveless.  damn

Has anyone listed a country artist yet? I don't really like that genre anymore, but I figured someone would have mentioned Garth, Shania, Tim McGraw, Reba or The Dixie Chicks by now. I grew up on oldies and country until about 1991 and then everything changed when I finally was exposed to rock music.

Same here, I think DMB is terrible. And I did have the misfortune to see them live - most annoying concert I've ever been to, just because of the music, lol.

They fall into the same category as, say, Jack Johnson to me. Boring background noise made for yuppie get-togethers. Not exactly the blandest offender, but bland enough with little exception imo.

I think Jack Johnson has some real charm. DMB completely lacks that.

He's definitely a better singer imo. One of the wonders of the world to me is that people can denigrate Eddie Vedder's voice (which I think is truly excellent) and then listen to a Dave Matthews record. I find his voice insufferable and his lyrics (the "rascal" line from  "Crash..Into Me" for one example) equally cringe-worthy.

I was really big into DMB in the 90s, not sure how I forgot to put them on my list.  I honestly haven't listened to them since the 90's though.  Would like to catch them live at some point.

Off the top of my head, and in no particular order:

Achtung, Baby - U2
Vitalogy - Pearl Jam
Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins
Urban Hymns - The Verve
OK Computer - Radiohead
Crash - Dave Matthews Band
Nevermind - although I don't particularly love it
Morning Glory - Oasis
Jagged Little Pill - Alanis. I stand by this as a solid album.
Black Album - Metallica

Honorable mention to Becks' "Odelay," Ill Communication, Superunknown, STP, REM, the Fugees, Dr Dre, and Dookie.

I listed that one along with Emmylou's Wrecking Ball and Dwight Yoakam's This Time and maybe one or two others. Fact is country went to shit with the emergence of Garth, Shania, et al. Reba's best stuff was in the '80s.

pjhawks

didn't list it in my original 10 but honorable mention Spin Doctors Pocket Full of Kryponite

Little-known fact: If you play "Two Princes" backward, you get "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong."

I recall that the only kinda good part of their show to see was the violinist... and I believe he recently got #metoo'd and left the band.
